Welcome to Gout Skool’s Myth-Buster Monday, where we squash the wildest health myths!
This week’s gem: Dancing naked under a full moon banishes gout pain.
- The Claim: Old folklore (and some sketchy 19th-century quacks) swore that moonlit twerking—yep, you read that right—could flush out gout-causing uric acid. Blame medieval mystics obsessed with lunar vibes!
- The Truth: Busted! No study ever linked moon-dancing to gout relief. Exercise can help circulation, but you’re better off with a brisk walk than a nude moonlit jig. Plus, you might scare the neighbors!
- Pro Tip: Stay hydrated and skip the red meat to keep gout in check—no moon required.
