Avoiding Gout Flare-Ups During the Holidays 🕎🥂🍷🎅🏼🍫🍻🍸🎉🎄

The holiday season is filled with delicious food, festive drinks, and family gatherings—but for anyone prone to gout, it can also be a time when painful flare-ups become more common.

Here are a few simple tips to help keep your joints happy and pain-free this season:

🦃 Watch the High-Purine Foods
Limit red meats, shellfish, organ meats, and rich gravies. Opt for lean proteins like chicken, turkey (without the skin), and plant-based options when you can.

🍷 Go Easy on Alcohol—Especially Beer
Alcohol slows the body’s ability to eliminate uric acid. Beer and hard liquor are the biggest triggers. If you choose to drink, do so in moderation and stay well-hydrated.

🥤 Stay Hydrated
Drinking plenty of water helps flush uric acid from your system. Aim for 6–8 glasses a day, especially if you’re indulging in salty or rich holiday foods.

🍬 Be Mindful of Sugary Treats
Fructose-sweetened sodas, candies, and desserts can increase uric acid levels. Enjoy in moderation and balance with healthier snacks.

🥗 Add Anti-Inflammatory Choices
Cherries, berries, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy products can help reduce flare-ups and support overall joint health.

💊 Stick to Your Medications
If you take gout medications, be consistent—holidays are not the time to skip doses.

🎁 A Few Smart Choices Now Can Save You a Lot of Pain Later
Gout flare-ups can be incredibly painful and disruptive. With a little planning and awareness, you can enjoy all the joy of the season—without the discomfort.

If you experience sudden pain, swelling, or redness in your big toe or foot, contact Aronson Footcare 781-344-1440 for prompt evaluation and treatment. We’re here to help keep you moving comfortably through the holidays!

Do you have a tight Achilles? Did you have surgery and you still have pain under the ball of your foot? Maybe you have a condition known as equinus where the muscles that make up your Achilles is too-tight, leading to contractures of your foot. This is especially important to evaluate if you have had any amputations! If this applies to you, contact Aronson Footcare for an evaluation. We treat this through stretching regiments, PT, and minimally-invasive surgical techniques.
