11. Poultry
Poultry can be a risky food for people with gout. Gout is a type of arthritis caused by the build-up of uric acid in the body. Foods that are high in purines, such as poultry, can cause an increase in uric acid levels. To minimize the risk of flare-ups, people with gout should limit or avoid poultry such as chicken, turkey, and duck. Substitute lean proteins such as fish, tofu and beans as an alternative. Exercise and maintaining a healthy weight can also help reduce the risk of gout episodes.
