New Delhi: The problem of joint pain usually persists in winter. One reason for this may be the increase of uric acid in the body. Usually your body filters uric acid through your kidneys and urine.
But if you consume too much purine in your diet or if your body is not able to remove enough uric acid, then the amount of uric acid in your blood increases. If you have too much uric acid in your body, it can form crystals that cause swelling and pain in your joints.
This can lead to gout, which is a type of arthritis. There are some fruits that can relieve you from the problem of uric acid.
Eating foods with less purine reduces the production of uric acid, which in turn reduces gout attacks. Banana is a fruit with very little purine. It is also an excellent source of vitamin C. Consuming vitamin C can protect against gout. In such a situation, if you consume bananas regularly, then you can get rid of the problem of uric acid.
