I wanted to create a short video on why lemon juice can be both good and bad for our itis now that’s kind of conflicting so let me explain what I’m talking about if we compare gout arthritis with osteoarthritis there’s two different things happening with gout arthritis you have high levels of uric acid now the osteoarthritis you don’t have uric acid you have calcium deposits within the joints and you have a breakdown of the joints and you have inflammation so gout symptoms get better when you make things more alkaline okay when you alkalize the body a little bit more with osteoarthritis you typically get worse when you make things more alkaline and that’s probably because of the relationship between calcium and pH if your stomach for example is too alkaline you will not be able to absorb calcium so when you al collides the body you can actually create a flare-up with arthritis and as a side note you can also create a worsening of allergies by the way so in osteoarthritis you want to acidify the body a little bit more and that’s why we recommend apple cider vinegar when you consume lemon or lemon juice and it gets broken down metabolized it actually turns alkalyn it turns into a base and that worsens gout because it makes things more alkaline so citric acid whether it’s from lemons limes grapefruit oranges when it’s metabolize it turns alkaline and it can make out worse so to lessen the pain in the attack and the precipitation of this uric acid all you have to do and this is a temporary thing is alkalis the urine now in Austria thread us if you alkalize the body you’re going to make it worse because of the connection between pH and calcium for example it takes a very acidic stomach to absorb calcium and if the body is a little bit too alkaline calcium tends to precipitate out and get stuck in the joints so with cases of osteoarthritis they do better with apple cider vinegar to acidify the body but with gout they will do worse without cider vinegar now let’s talk about lemon so when you consume lemon juice for gout the person usually feels a lot better because you lower the acidity but for osteoarthritis you make it worse because you make things more alkaline so for osteoarthritis use apple cider vinegar for gout use lemon juice and by the way that’s just a temporary quick fix that’ll make you feel better for a little bit you want to correct the underlying cause of course high fructose corn syrup is at the top the list with causing gout people that are sensitive purines and I put a complete video on gout below you should check it out if you have this because the true cause of gout is a sluggish kidney and you want to keep working on your kidney now as a side note when you do in a minute fasting your body will produce more uric acid as an antioxidant and if you’re sensitive to it it could give you a flare-up of gout and this is why you could either do lemon juice or you can do potassium citrate to alkalize the body to chill out this acidity and turn off that gout symptom alright thanks for watching and I will see you in the next video hey if you haven’t already subscribed press the button below and I will keep you in the know hey that runs
