Gideon Moi has said exactly what I tell my friends. That meat is good food.

His father and ‘karasta’ were inseparable. Karasta is goat ribs. Stop lecturing us on the dangers of red meat. That science is flawed.

Meat is Kalenjin, Maasai, Turkana and other pastoralist groups’ staple food.

Our elderly have been on enough red meat and related foods all their long lives.

We eat red meat, raw liver, drink warm livestock blood, sour milk and milk flavored with ‘woseek’. (Charcoal flavored Yoghurt)

We are full of stamina. In all areas. Athletics, using Gideon Moi’ accent, Bedmington and also sly politics. We are warriors. To a nilote, fear is a rumor. By the time a boy is 10, he can wrestle and slit a goat’s throat and watch it bleet to its last. (Goats bleet, cows moo) .Having it’s pumping heart pulsating warmly on your palms is assuring, that you’re a man who can hold life in your hands. Our food runs and fights back.

We encountered vegetables after the colonialist came and to date, in some areas, an old man would insult you for serving him Sukuma Wiki. " do i look like a rabbit to eat leaves? "

If you attend a Kalenjin event without meat, then you probably stopped over at the wrong address.

Gout is unheard of in the village because traditional brew have the right chemical composition to cleanse all antibodies that come with modernity. The long walks and heavy activity fixes the muscles as well. Gout and related issues are middle class problems.

That rare done steak is gold.

How does meat cause Gout?

"Factors that can precipitate a gout attack, include:
[ul]
[li]Overweight – many patients who suffer from gout are overweight or obese[/li][li]Alcohol – acute attacks of gout are often precipitated by overindulgence in alcohol[/li][li]Dietary purines – eating foods rich in purines (meat, fish, fish roes) can cause an attack[/li][li]Starvation or very-low-energy diets – blood urate levels rise dramatically when body proteins are broken down due to starvation or very low energy intake[/li][li]Kidney disease – any disease, such as chronic renal failure, which prevents the kidneys from functioning properly and excreting sufficient urate can cause gout[/li][li]Other diseases – diseases such as leukaemia or psoriasis can cause increases in urate production[/li][li]Drugs – chemical compounds which decrease the excretion of urates, such as the so-called thiazide diuretics use"[/li][/ul]

Gout is a type of arthritis. The cause of gout is a build-up of uric acid in the body which causes uric acid crystals to form in and around joints. This results in a sudden attack of excruciating pain and inflammation in one or more joints. If you are unfortunate enough to suffer from an attack of gout your doctor will usually prescribe Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAID’s) or other medications that will help reduce urate levels.

But if you are not keen on taking medications because of their associated side effect risks (or can’t due to other medical conditions) then please see my below recommendations which are very effective measures for preventing and reversing gout attacks.

It’s All About The P’s: Purines And Proteins
Some foods contain high amounts of the naturally occurring substance purines. Purines are then converted in the body to uric acid. Purines are actually healthy and essential in the body (especially for DNA and DNA replication: Two of the five bases in nucleic acids, adenine, and guanine, are actually purines).

Problems begin to arise when we consume high protein diets. Foods that contain high levels of purines include organ meat, red meat, salmon, herring, sardines, and other oily fish. It is possible to run into problems from plant-based protein sources such as beans, lentils, and peas, although it is uncommon to see gout in those on plant-based diets.

If you are currently experiencing an episode of gout, then I strongly recommend limiting (or ideally avoiding) these protein sources until the condition has resolved.

Alcohol
Your risk of developing gout is also greatly increased with the amount of alcohol you consume. Red wine and port have been heavily linked to gout for many years. But in a 2004 study published in the Lancet, researchers discovered that beer increased the risk of gout substantially more than other types of alcohol. More than 50,000 men were analyzed as part of the study. (1)

If you are going to consume these types of alcohols then it is strongly recommended that you drink moderately and that you also drink plenty of water to help remove excess uric acid from the body.

How Are Gout Attacks Prevented?
Maintaining adequate fluid intake helps prevent acute gout attacks and decreases the risk of kidney stone formation in people with gout. Alcohol is known to have diuretic effects that can contribute to dehydration and precipitate acute gout attacks. Alcohol can also affect uric acid metabolism and cause hyperuricemia. It causes gout by slowing down the excretion of uric acid from the kidneys as well as by causing dehydration, which precipitates the crystals in the joints.
Dietary changes can help reduce uric acid levels in the blood. Since purine chemicals are converted by the body into uric acid, purine-rich foods should be avoided. Foods rich in purines include shellfish and organ meats, such as liver, brains, and kidneys. Researchers have reported that meat or seafood consumption increases the risk of gout attacks, while dairy consumption seemed to reduce this risk. Weight reduction can be helpful in lowering the risk of recurrent attacks of gout. Certain medications reduce the pain and inflammation of gout attacks, such as anti-inflammatory drugs (ibuprofen and naproxen), colchicine, and corticosteroids. Other medications decrease the level of uric acid in the blood and prevent the deposit of uric acid in joints (gouty arthritis), the kidneys (stones), and in tissue (tophi), helping to prevent further attacks and complications. These drugs include allopurinol, febuxostat, lesinurad, and probenecid.
