High levels of uric acid in the body can have an effect on many of the body parts.
But how are the parts affected? What are the dangers? And what can be done?
The uric acid levels in the body usually become too high due to lifestyle factors that cause the pH of the body to become acidic. The biggest factor is what we eat and drink.
How does this happen?
Some elements of your diet will be acidic, but the majority of it should be alkaline – it should fall somewhere between 7.35 and 7.45 on the pH scale, which is slightly alkaline. To accomplish this, you’ll need to monitor how much acid you absorb. Sweetened soft drinks, caffeine, alcohol, fatty foods, and processed foods are highly acidic and can cause acidosis, which characterizes itself in several negative ways.
So how do high uric acid levels affect the different parts of the body?
The Mouth:
When acid accumulates in the body, it can wreak havoc in your mouth. For instance, you may notice your saliva being more acidic, and mouth ulcers may develop.
The corners of your mouth may crack and bleed and repeated infections in your throat or tonsils may develop.
The teeth are often affected as well. The gums become inflamed and the teeth become loose in their sockets. Teeth may also be extra sensitive to hot or cold foods and can break easily.
Skin, Hair, and Nais:
An overabundance of acid can negatively affect your skin, hair, and nails. Your skin can dry out, you can develop hives or get irritation in areas where you sweat. Hair may fall out, break, develop split ends or look dull and lifeless. Nails can appear thin and can crack and break easily.
Eyes:
People with too much acid in their bodies might notice signs of it in their eyes. The eyes may tear up very easily or appear irritated. The corneas and eyelids might become inflamed and bouts of conjunctivitis are common.
Digestive Health:
Acidity tends to show itself dramatically in the digestive tract. Those with too much acid will regurgitate it or suffer from acid reflux. Other stomach conditions like ulcers or gastritis can also develop.
Mental & Emotional Health:
Having an acidic body can cause mental and emotional symptoms like a loss of interest in activities you used to love and a loss of motivation. Likewise, those with an acid problem might feel nervous, anxious, irritable or sensitive to loud noises. These people also tend to become depressed easily.
What can we do to treat high uric acid levels?
