Introduction
Uric acid buildup is a common health concern, especially for those prone to gout or kidney stones. While many turn to medications or strict diets, nature often provides simple, overlooked remedies. One such remedy is a tiny seed that most of us discard without a second thought—yet it holds surprising potential to help reduce uric acid levels naturally. In this article, we’ll explore this remarkable seed, share a recipe to harness its benefits, and guide you on how to use it effectively.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons of flax seeds (the powerhouse seed we usually throw away)
2 cups of water
1 teaspoon of honey (optional, for sweetness)
A squeeze of lemon juice (optional, for flavor and added health benefits)
Instructions:
Rinse the flax seeds thoroughly under running water to remove any impurities.
In a bowl, soak the flax seeds in 2 cups of water overnight (8-12 hours). This softens the seeds and releases their beneficial compounds.
After soaking, blend the mixture until smooth. If preferred, strain the mixture to remove any seed husks for a smoother drink.
Add honey and lemon juice if desired, and stir well.
Drink this mixture once daily, preferably in the morning on an empty stomach for maximum effect.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serve fresh after blending for best nutrient retention.
You can store the soaked flax seed mixture in the fridge for up to 24 hours, but always stir before consuming as it may thicken.
If you want to consume the seeds in solid form, sprinkle ground flax seeds over salads, yogurt, or cereals.
