"How You Live" Is A Huge Factor In
What Causes Gout

More often than not, you're lead to believe that what causes gout is that you eat the wrong things and You Drink Too Much.

This may be true to some degree and we started to talk about it a little on my Gout Foods page, but it's not the only contributing factor.

(I often get the feeling we're all told that so we can keep those bad habits and they can sell us more pills. Maybe there's more to it . . . ? For more on that perspective and more alternatives, check out: "Nothing Toxic For Me, Please"

If you have gout in your family history that might add to the likelihood of you getting gout but they still don't seem to have it all figured out about whether of not genetics can really take that much of the blame.

There are plenty of gout remedies and gout treatments out there but let's dig a little deeper.

Do you live in a big city? Is it smoggy? Were we designed as human beings to breathe car exhaust? Chemically speaking, what is the cumulative effect of breathing polluted air?

What about smoking cigarettes? (or other stuff?) Lung cancer, premature aging, heart disease. Refer back to the page on Inflammation and reread the part on "systemic inflammation".

Where does your Water come from? Do you have a well? Has your water been tested lately? Do you have "city water"? What are those chemicals that make the water taste so bad you avoid drinking it? And then of course you do shower with it so it's just coming in through your pores. (No worries though, it's been "tested" and it's "safe" . . . ?)

And now back to Food. What the heck is "Mad Cow Disease"? And surely those pesticides and growth hormones don't do us any harm . . . ? Let's just dismiss Organically Grown Food as nonsense.

But wait . . . what does the term Genetically Modified Organisms really mean?

By the way, why is Obesity synonymous with High Fructose Corn Syrup?

Why stop there . . . What About Wheat? Intolerance and sensitivity to Wheat, as well as Allergies are constantly in the news now. Cheap Wheat is in everything. What's it doing to you?

Now let's turn on the TV, (if you have one, which is a whole other discussion) and let's first count how many Prescription Drug commercials come on and then let's count all the possible side affects from each one of them. Maybe that's what causes gout.

Do you wear sunscreen everyday? I'm sure you've seen people who spend the days and lives in the sun . . . what does their skin look like? What about skin cancer? What about cataracts? Ultra-violet Radiation is a serious thing.

Are you a construction worker? Are you a business executive? Are you exposed to Toxic Chemicals? Cleaners? Inks? Adhesives?

Our bodies are subjected to all kinds of "environmental" Stresses, but what about all the ones we create "internally"?

How well do you Sleep? How are the Kids? How's the Money these days? What about the relationship with the Wife? (or Husband) Secure Job? Business is Booming?

Our bodies go through all kinds of chemical and hormonal changes in regard to the circumstances of our lives and they have very real mental, emotional, and physical effects on us.

Where we live, What we do, What's going on . . . all play a part in what causes Gout.

Clean food and water, consistent exercise, lot's of sleep, a method to feed your spirit . . . How well do you take care of Yourself?
