I found out something new today.... Zucchini is a fruit! LOL..Anyway, I have been doing extensive research on foods high in purines...(Which causes inflammation in joints, from high levels of uric acid..etc)..I am doing a lot of changes to my diet. I'm researching things to avoid that are high in purines, and foods I can have that are low in purines..It's very slim pickings! But Zucchini...is a very healthy food with so many benefits and is great for reducing uric acid in the blood..Also the juice from the zucchini is a great cleanse to rid body of toxins. I just have to find out how to retrieve the juice and the best way to add it to the diet. Also being a Diabetic, it's important to reduce the uric acid levels as it affects kidney function. Lot's to learn! empire style wedding wears with high waist :( But, I tell you..I NEVER want to have another Gout attack! Ever! ( We love Zucchini bread but that's definitely off the list for me..because yeast is to be avoided.. But Hubby loves it and I will fix it for him....I just got to refrain from it!. :(
