Nourishment Notes

Oatmeal

Oatmeal is a good source of soluble fiber to help with gut health. It’s also a quick-cooking grain which can be easy to prepare when energy levels are low, a symptom that can occur from RA and a side effect from some RA medications.

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.
