Nowadays the problem of high uric acid has increased a lot in people. Due to poor eating habits and a sedentary lifestyle, the amount of uric acid in the body increases. Uric acid which is present in all of our bodies is a waste material. When the level of uric acid increases in the body, it causes problems. When a chemical called purine breaks down, uric acid is formed. The kidney filters it and expels it through urine. But when the amount of uric acid starts increasing or sometimes the kidney does not function properly, it collects in the joints in the form of crystals. This is where the problem starts. When uric acid increases, there is a risk of joint pain, swelling and kidney stones.
