Mudra/Pranayama for high uric acid ?

[Swan]

Hi All,

I was searching the internet for some pranayama or mudra to keep a check on uric acid level, for an elderly member of my extended family - and I did not find satisfactory answers.

can anybody help me on this?

Thanks

hmmm dont think there is a pranayama or mudra for that case
vegetarian diet is the solution

A friend had the same problem that got solved using the macrobiotic diet

Yes strict vegan diet, and probably best to start out with macrobiotic diet as Will Power says. If that doesn't do it then pure raw food/fruit diet. But raw food diet may be difficult for some elderly people.

Thanks for the good advices

latest research finds that uric acid is formed from fructose so be careful with too much fruit but particularly high fructose corn syrup based drinks etc

[LittleTurtle]

I would like to see that research snake. Sounds very odd to me.

hi little turtle.if you google uric acid and fructose there is a lot of research available.

Yes being a yoga trainer, I can tell you, pranayama is not the solution. A strict diet would do. Stream bath really works in this case as well. Hope I can help you a bit.

Probably also a base-surplus diet, to neutralize acids, for example:
  eat almonds more than nuts (avoid peanuts as long as possible)
  millet more than brown rice
  spelt more than rye
  figs and rosehips more than cowberry
  nettle shoots, carrots, cucumbers more than Brussels sprouts or cabbage
etc.
