Increasing uric acid is a common problem nowadays. Increased uric acid can cause joint pain, swelling, gout and many kidney related problems. In such a situation, diet plays a very important role. Banana is one of those fruits that can help control uric acid—provided it is eaten at the right time and in the right way.
Why is banana beneficial for uric acid patients?
Low-purine food: Banana contains very little purine, which reduces the chances of increasing uric acid in the body.
Rich in potassium: Potassium helps the body flush uric acid.
Good fiber: Banana improves digestion and prevents toxin build-up in the body.
Anti-inflammatory effect: Can also help in reducing joint swelling.
How many bananas should one eat daily?
For uric acid patients, 1–2 bananas daily are sufficient. This does not increase uric acid but helps in maintaining its balance in the body.
When should one eat banana? (Best Time)
- Morning on empty stomach – best time
Eating a banana in the morning provides potassium, fiber and energy to the body. It speeds up the process of naturally eliminating uric acid.
- with breakfast
Eating banana with oats, porridge or curd provides slow energy to the body and helps in controlling uric acid.
- in the light hunger of the evening
If there is no problem of gas or flatulence then a banana can be taken in the evening.
