Parsley for your gout

 Like celery, parsley acts as a natural diuretic which can help your body flush out excess uric acid from your bloodstream through your kidneys thus supporting kidney function. 
Parsley is a acid-alkaline food that is good for your body’s pH level, that’s good for your gout. 
For those who are dealing with gout, parsley can have more specific benefits…
The high level of chlorophyll in parsley, as well as the presence of minerals such as zinc, calcium, potassium, and magnesium, helps to ensure that your blood and body tissue pH does not get too far out of balance, i.e. too acidic.
Note: Your body needs to be slightly alkaline for general health. And this is even more important for gout sufferers because it’s more difficult for uric acid to crystallize in an alkaline environment.

Parsley is also a natural diuretic that can help your body to excrete any excess uric acid that has built up in your bloodstream, more effectively. This helps to promote kidney health and keeps your uric acid levels in check.
