Natural treatment for gout - don't overlook these 5

Most gout suffers would like to find a natural treatment for gout and avoid the side effects of the medications. Unfortunately, many of the best natural treatments sound SO simple that people don't even try them. They think that anything that easy could not work.

Think again! Try some of these. Don't wait until you have a really bad attack and then drink and extra glass of water - of course that won't work. If you're prone to gout, then substantially increase the amount of water you drink each day, while you're gout free. Most of these methods work at keeping the gout away rather than getting rid of it once you have it.

• Drink lots of water - so basic and simple and yet overlooked by so many people


• Lose weight - half the people with gout are at least 15% overweight
  
  
• Eat cherries
  
  
• Drink lemon juice - diluted in water unless you want your teeth to erode!
  
  
• Eat high fiber
