How Celery Can Lower Your Uric Acid Levels?

Celery Leaves and Juice

Celery (Apium graveolens) has a long history of usage in Ayurveda and Unani medicine. Excessive production of uric acid is associated with gout. Celery seeds and leaves have the ability to control high uric acid levels in the body. Learn how to use celery for uric acid in this article.

This Is How Celery Consumption Can Help You Lower Your High Uric Acid Levels:

Studies have found that regular consumption of celery or formulations containing celery seeds may inhibit the activity of an enzyme involved in the production of uric acid in the body. A drop in uric acid overproduction further helps in combating inflammation and oxidative stress. This helps in lowering the risk of various diseases and disorders like gout, cardiovascular diseases, kidney disease and metabolic disorders. (1)

High uric acid levels increase the production of free radicals and give rise to oxidative stress. Research has found that intake of celery juice reduces the generation of free radicals and the accumulation of uric acid crystals in the joints, a common feature of gouty arthritis. (2)

The uric acid-lowering property of celery is attributed to the presence of healthy compounds like flavonoids, phenolic compounds, tannins, and essential oil in it. These compounds control excess production of uric acid in the body, plus they exhibit antioxidant and radical scavenging property, which helps in the management of the diseases. (3)

Hence, a regular intake of celery may provide protection against diseases caused by high uric acid levels.

What Is the Best Way to Consume Celery For High Uric Acid Levels?

  • Add celery leaves and stalk to your diet in the form of salad, juice, pesto, soups, and stews.
  • You can even enjoy this tender vegetable in the raw form.
  • Celery seeds can be added to salads and soups to boost their flavor.
  • You can also use these seeds as a spice in savory food preparations.

Spring is ruled by the kapha dosha , whose qualities are heavy, cool, soft, dense, stable, solid, and cloudy. To adjust for the season , consider the following practices: Wake with the sunrise .
