Nourishment Notes

Oatmeal

Walnuts

Walnuts are one of the few plant-based sources of omega-3 fatty acids. These types of fats are important for heart and brain health and can also help reduce inflammation associated with RA.

Cherries

Cherries may help reduce pain from arthritis when consumed regularly. They also contain antioxidants to help protect healthy cells from damage.
