Nourishment Notes

Pistachios

Pistachios contain beneficial fats that can help lower cholesterol levels, reducing the risk for heart disease. They also contain vitamin B6, important to energy levels.

Salmon

Salmon contains high amounts of omega-3 fatty acids to help protect the heart and brain. It’s also high in protein, important for building new and healthy cells in the body. Wild caught salmon contains higher levels of vitamin D, an important nutrient in those with MS.

Fatigue Buster

  • Salmon

    Look for individual frozen salmon portions for a quick protein option.

  • Topping

    Make double the pistachio topping and use on plain baked chicken for an easy meal later in the week. Pistachios are also great for snacking on!
