Plant-Based Gout Meal Plan
This program was created with the following key considerations:
Fiber
Adequate fiber intake has several health benefits including better digestive health and lower blood pressure. This meal plan provides up to 50 grams of daily fiber from fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains.
Monounsaturated Fats
Good quality fats are associated with a lower risk of heart disease and diabetes. This plan is rich in monounsaturated fat from olive oil and peanut butter, which are beneficial for the immune system and inflammatory responses.
Iron
Iron is an important mineral that helps produce red blood cells and transport oxygen throughout the body. Nutritional iron deficiency is common worldwide and can be prevented by including daily iron-rich foods. This meal plan provides iron sources like chickpeas, tofu, and spinach.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is an antioxidant that can help your body absorb more iron from iron-rich foods. This meal plan pairs iron-rich foods with foods that have vitamin C such as bell peppers with chickpeas and sweet potato with tofu
