Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of water helps dilute uric acid and promotes its excretion through urine. Aim for at least 8-10 glasses of water a day.

Eat cherries: Consuming cherries may help lower uric acid levels. They contain antioxidants called anthocyanins, which can reduce inflammation and uric acid levels.

Apple cider vinegar: Mixing 1-2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water and drinking it daily may help reduce uric acid levels due to its alkalizing effect.

Lemon juice: The citric acid in lemon juice may help dissolve uric acid crystals. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon into a glass of water and drink it daily.

Ginger tea: Ginger has anti-inflammatory properties. Boil fresh ginger in water, strain it, and drink it as tea to help reduce uric acid levels.

Eat bananas: Rich in potassium, bananas can help regulate uric acid levels. Eating one or two bananas a day may be beneficial.

Low-fat dairy products: Incorporating low-fat milk and yogurt into your diet may help lower uric acid levels due to their protein content.

Avoid sugary foods and drinks: Reducing the intake of sugary beverages and foods can help lower uric acid levels, as fructose can increase uric acid production.

Use olive oil: Using olive oil as your primary cooking oil can be beneficial. It contains healthy fats and antioxidants that may help reduce inflammation and lower uric acid levels.
