Nourishment Notes

Chickpeas

Chickpeas are a good source of plant-based protein. They also contain fiber that can help promote gut and heart health.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Olive oil is rich in monounsaturated fats. These types of fats may help to reduce the risk of heart disease. The oleic acid in olive oil may also reduce inflammation common in RA.
