Do you or someone you know experience intense needle-like pain in their big toe, knees, fingers or ankles? If so, this may be a sign of Gout. Gout is a common type of arthritis that occurs from a buildup of Uric Acid in the blood, tissues and urine. Once the buildup happens and the body cannot get rid of the excess, the uric acid crystallizes in the shape of a needle and literally jabs its way into the joints. The most common joint to be affected is the big toe, but other joints can be affected as well. Remember while Gout is painful and a nuisance, it is one type of arthritis pain that is easier to deal with especially if you catch it early.
So what can you do?
While Gout is painful and stops people from being active, many people find relief from taking the convenient form of Black Cherry Extract in capsule form, such as the Alive Brand. Black Cherry neutralizes the buildup of Uric Acid and provides relief from the jabbing pain. Diet is also an important component in fighting Gout. Below is a list of foods to avoid when you are trying to get your Gout under control.

- liver
- anchovies
- sardines
- asparagus
- spinach
