Nourishment Note

Butternut Squash

Butternut squash is a great source of vitamin A, potassium and fiber. It also provides folate, vitamin B-6, and vitamin E, all of which are especially important for those with RA.

Cannellini Beans

Cannellini beans are rich in folate, an important nutrient for those with RA as certain types of drugs increase your folate needs.

Kale

Kale is an incredible source of vitamin K and may also help to lower cholesterol. Kale also contains many antioxidants, which helps to protect cells and may be anti-inflammatory, an important quality for those with rheumatoid arthritis.
