Our big toe tries five more foods that can fit into a balanced eating plan for people managing gout 🦶
Foods featured, in order:
🍓 STRAWBERRIES — a fruit choice
🥚 EGG — a protein option
RED BELL PEPPER — adds vegetable variety
🟢 GREEN PEAS — a plant-food option
🍝 WHOLE-GRAIN PASTA — a whole-grain choice
The crystal-like spikes falling from the toe are a visual metaphor. Gout crystals form in and around joints; eating these foods does not make crystals physically fall off or cure a gout flare in seconds. Diet may help reduce the risk of future attacks, and many people also need medical treatment.
