The Arthritis Code Program Review
by jancy aron (2017-12-30)
For no clear reason, research into gout has neither been exhaustive or extensive, such that no medical expert or group has been able to accurately pinpoint the real causes of gout. Several factors however, have been observed to lead to gout affliction. As gleaned from “The Arthritis Code”, these are: Genetics – Families, who have had previous encounters with gout, run the risk of their children contracting this condition too. Age and gender – Findings pointed that gout occurs more commonly in men than women and generally more often among adults than children. Weight – If you are obese or overweight, the risk of you getting gout is higher versus those with normal weight. This has to do with your excess weight possibly leading to a higher production of uric acid.
