(Newswire.net — November 8, 2018) — The whole point of eating is to gain all the necessary vitamins and minerals needed to fuel the body but this is done through chemistry. No worries of things getting too deep with the science now but chemical reactions are indeed the basis of human relationship with food. So it’s little surprise that what we eat directly affects our chemical composition. With that said, there are just some foods that induce an internal state of acidity but precisely how/why is the question. And what does this thing called purines have to do with anything?
“Uric acid is a chemical that’s produced when your body breaks down purines,” informs Healthline.com. “Purines are compounds that enter the bloodstream during the natural breakdown of cells in the body. Once purines release uric acid, most of it is dissolved in the blood and transported to the kidneys, where it’s removed from the body through urination. Some uric acid also leaves the body through defecation. When this process is disrupted, however, your body can produce too much or too little uric acid.”
“Your body is in constant motion, 24-7… even as you sleep, your blood flows, your brain fires away, and your gut digests that late-night snack,” highlights WebMD.com. “Whenever you eat something, your body pulls out the good stuff, such as proteins and vitamins, and sends away the waste. Typically, one of those waste products is uric acid. So if you have high levels of uric acid, it can be a sign of disease such as gout.”
