How to Manage Gout and Arthritis During the Festive Season

How to Manage Gout and Arthritis During the Festive Season

The festive season often means indulgent meals, celebratory drinks, and lots of social gatherings. While this is a time for joy, for those managing gout or arthritis, it can also be a period of heightened discomfort if the wrong choices are made. But don’t worry — you can still enjoy the festivities while keeping your joints happy and your body balanced! Here’s how:

1. Food Choices for Happy Joints

Certain foods can trigger gout flare-ups or worsen arthritis symptoms, particularly those high in purines or that promote inflammation.

Foods to Avoid:

  • High-purine foods: Red meat, organ meats, shellfish, and certain fish (like sardines and mackerel)
  • Refined carbs: White bread, sugary pastries, and desserts
  • Processed snacks: Chips, crackers, and other heavily processed foods

Foods to Embrace:

  • Low-purine proteins: Eggs, dairy products, tofu, and plant-based proteins
  • Anti-inflammatory foods: Leafy greens, berries, cherries, and fatty fish like salmon
  • Alkalizing options: Broccoli, spinach, kale, and other vegetables that help maintain a healthy pH balance

2. Drink Smart During Celebrations

What you drink is just as important as what you eat, especially during festive gatherings where alcohol and sugary beverages are common.

Best Choices:

  • Water: Staying hydrated helps flush out excess uric acid
  • Herbal teas: Chamomile or green tea can be soothing and hydrating
  • Non-alcoholic spritzers: Sparkling water with a splash of lemon or cranberry juice

Drinks to Limit or Avoid:

  • Alcohol (especially beer and spirits): Can increase uric acid levels and trigger flare-ups
  • Sugary sodas: Contain fructose, which can worsen gout symptoms

3. Tips for Making Great Choices at Parties

  • Fill up on vegetables: Load your plate with salads and roasted veggies first
  • Bring your own dish: A gout-friendly option like roasted sweet potatoes or a veggie platter
  • Be mindful of portions: Enjoy treats in moderation and avoid overeating
