What if I told you that having gout back in the day wasn’t just a painful condition, it was a status symbol?
Weird, right?
The rich and powerful were so frequently struck down by inflamed, aching joints that gout earned a royal nickname: “the disease of kings.”
The connection made perfect sense, as the wealthy could afford an abundance of fine foods and drinks that we now know can trigger gout, such as rich meats, aged cheeses, and plenty of ale.
Modern science shows that diet isn’t everything when it comes to managing gout.
However, while genetics and underlying health issues play a significant role, food and drink choices can still help manage those pesky flare-ups.
