Question 1

i need to know the food that increases uric acid and cholestrol?

Accepted Answer

Certain foods: Usually one should avoid pork, beef, and lamb and certain beans like pinto beans. Which are foods high in uric acid although  beans have no cholesterol. If you have gout drink lots of water to flush out uric acid and also eat poultry and fish as primary meats which are low in uric acid. Taking a medicine like Allopurinol can decrease uric acid as well check with your dr.

Coffee seems to help: Actually, drinking coffee seems to reduce the risk of gout and is not the cause! see http://www.Arthritis.Org/research/funded-research/research-update/journal-summaries/coffee-gout-risk/ 
however, diet does have a big effect on gout. For a good summary of ways to reduce risk of gout including diet, supplements and herbs see http://www.Umm.Edu/altmed/articles/gout-000070.Htm.
