Nourishment Note

Tomatoes

Tomatoes are rich in antioxidants, particularly lycopene. Lycopene has been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease, a condition common in those with RA.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Extra virgin olive oil contains monounsaturated fats. This type of fat may help to reduce inflammation.

Shallots

Shallots are a good source of vitamin A, vitamin B6, vitamin C, and manganese. Vitamin C and B6 are especially important because deficiencies in these vitamins are common for those with RA.
