VIVA – Walking is one of the most recommended forms of exercise for gout sufferers. This sport is a “joint-friendly” sport that does not put too much strain on the joints and can help reduce the risk of injury.
In addition, walking has numerous other benefits that can help gout sufferers. If you suffer from gout, you need to know which exercises are suitable for gout sufferers to relieve attacks or pain in the joints.
The most common gout symptoms include severe bouts of pain, severe swelling, and extreme joint pain. This often happens at the base of the big toe.

These attacks can occur at any time of the day or night and cause the feeling that the big toe is burning. This article examines whether it is safe to walk with gout. We will also discuss other things such as treatment, treatment and prevention of this condition.
Understanding uric acid
Gout itself is a common form of painful arthritis. Often only one joint is affected at a time (often the big toe joint). There are phases in which symptoms worsen, called relapse phases, and phases in which no symptoms occur, called remissions.
Gouty arthritis is a form of degenerative arthritis caused by repeated attacks of gout. Unfortunately, there is currently no cure for gout. However, it can be treated and treated effectively using medication and self-management techniques.
A typical gout attack can last up to two weeks, although anti-inflammatory medications can help you feel better faster.
Causes of uric acid
Purines are chemicals that the body breaks down and are found in some foods and drinks. The breakdown of purines creates uric acid.
Some people’s kidneys are unable to efficiently remove uric acid from the body. This leads to hyperuricemia, or increased uric acid levels. Psoriasis, leukemia and obesity are other causes of hyperuricemia.
Hyperuricemia is required for the development of monosodium urate crystals. These crystals can build up in the joints and cause swelling and pain. However, hyperuricemia does not necessarily lead to gout.
There are various risk factors that can increase the risk of gout. Here are some examples:
- Overweight
- Suffer from high blood pressure
- Consumption of alcoholic beverages
- Consume foods rich in purines
- Do you have a family history of gout?
- Eat high fructose corn syrup drinks

Causes of uric acid in the legs
In most patients, 50 percent of all gout cases begin with an attack on the ball of the big toe. But why is it like that? One explanation is that it’s simply due to gravity and the acid naturally deposits in the outermost joint of the lower extremity: the big toe.
Another explanation is that the joints are more susceptible to the formation of acid crystals because the feet and toes are the parts of the body farthest from the heart, where the body temperature is lower due to blood flow. This explains why gout is more common in many colder areas.
Over time, gout can gradually spread to other joints in the body, usually gradually, such as:
- Metatarsals: These are the long bones that run across the top of the foot.
- Tarsal Bones: These are the seven bones that make up the ankle.
- Paragraphs (in rare cases).
Benefits of walking as exercise for gout sufferers
Walking is an excellent strategy to improve or maintain your health and is also the best form of exercise for gout sufferers. Just 30 minutes daily can improve cardiovascular fitness, bone strength, loss of extra body fat, and muscle strength and endurance.
In addition, walking can reduce the risk of developing diseases such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis and several malignancies. Unlike some other sports, walking is free and requires no special equipment or instruction.
Even if it’s not strenuous or long-term, physical activity can be beneficial to your health. Walking is a low-impact exercise that you can do at your own pace, being active 24/7 and requiring little equipment.
When you go for a walk outside, you don’t have to worry about the dangers that come with some of the more demanding sports. For people who are overweight, older people or people who have not exercised for a long time, walking is an excellent form of physical activity.
As a reader of our blog, you may have already noticed some of the benefits that can directly improve your gout symptoms. Let’s take a closer look at how regular walking can potentially help improve your overall health and lifestyle.
To get the maximum benefit from walking, gout sufferers are recommended to perform this exercise regularly, at least 30 minutes daily. The training intensity can be increased gradually depending on your physical condition. Here are some walking tips for gout sufferers:
- Start with the light intensity. If you are just starting to walk, start with a light intensity and increase the intensity slowly and gradually.
- Use comfortable footwear. Comfortable footwear can help reduce pressure on joints and prevent injuries.
- Drink much water. Drinking plenty of water can help keep the body hydrated and prevent dehydration.
- Rest if necessary. If you feel pain, rest and continue exercising when the pain has subsided.
Before starting walking training, gout sufferers should first consult a doctor to determine the condition of the joints and obtain recommendations for a safe intensity and duration of training.
