Uric acid is produced due to the breakdown of purines that exist in proteins. Uric acid is excreted by the kidneys, but in case of over-production, there could be a buildup.

Uric acid forms urates in the body, which are different types of salts. Monosodium urate is a bad urate and if it accumulates in the joints, this urate causes gout. 

Certain foods successfully help getting rid of this problem. Veggies such as cucumbers, beets, lettuce, celery and potatoes can help with uric acid problems.

You can consume these veggies simply by just juicing them up. Cucumber juice is a great way to stay healthy and avoid uric acid.

Cucumber helps decrease the body temperature and also cleanses the body from toxins. It creates an alkaline environment in the body, and helps to eliminate uric acid from the joints.
