Nourishment Note

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Olive oil is rich in monounsaturated fats. These types of fats may help to reduce the risk of heart disease. This is important because women with MS may be at higher risk of developing heart disease. The oleic acid in olive oil may also reduce inflammation.

Summer Squash & Zucchini

A plant-based diet, rich in colorful fruits and vegetables, may be incredibly beneficial for those with MS due to their high antioxidant levels. Antioxidants may help to slow the disease progression of MS by preventing cell damage caused by free radicals in the body.
