No red meat/shellfis: Gout is one form of arthritis that is very strongly influenced by what you eat. Uric acid is derived from the break down of purines, which are enriched especially in high protein foods such as organ meats and shellfish. Gout attacks can also be triggered by over-consumption of alcohol and sugary soda drinks. One food that can help prevent gout is cherries but you need to consume at least 10 a day.
