Nourishment Notes

Lentils

Lentils are a nutritional powerhouse! They are full of protein and fiber, as well as vitamins and minerals, like potassium, folate, and iron. A half cup of cooked lentils has about 8 grams of fiber. Fiber is very helpful for preventing constipation, a common side effect associated with MS. Fiber is also beneficial for improving gut health.

Spinach

Spinach is packed with antioxidants to help reduce inflammation associated with MS. It also contains nutrients and vitamins that may help lower the risk of heart disease.

Eggs

Eggs are an excellent source of lean protein, to help grow new cells. They also contain lutein that may promote eye health and choline important for memory.

Fatigue Buster
