Nourishment Notes

Kale

Kale is an incredible source of vitamin K and may 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.

Avocado

Avocados are both a fruit and a fat, and contain a variety of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to help keep your body working its best.

Strawberries

Strawberries are packed with vital nutrients including vitamin C, potassium, and antioxidants. These nutrients are crucial for healing, lowering blood pressure and may also help to lower inflammation.

Blackberries

Blackberries are rich in anthocyanins. Anthocyanins are a category of nutrients that may help protect the brain from Alzheimer’s disease, and lower the risk of colon cancer.

Blueberries

Blueberries are high in fiber, vitamin C, and vitamin K and have an incredibly high number of antioxidants.

RA Cooking Tips

  • Avocado

    Avocado slicers allow users to cut, pit, and slice an avocado with one utensil.

    Egg slicers work well for not only cutting eggs, but also strawberries. You can also purchase pre-washed and sliced berries.
