Omega-3 fatty acids present in fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel and sardines, along with flaxseeds and walnuts show powerful anti-inflammatory properties. Healthy fats in these foods reduce joint pain and swelling caused by uric acid crystals. Omega-3 fatty acids promote better blood circulation and support the kidneys in their function, to filter out uric acid. A diet that includes omega-3 rich foods at least two to three times weekly, helps decrease uric acid levels, and reduces gout inflammation symptoms
