Nourishment Note

Avocado

Avocadoes are both a fruit and a fat, and contain a variety of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to help keep your body working it’s best.

Cannellini Beans

Cannellini beans are rich in folate, an important nutrient for those with RA as certain drugs can increase your folate needs.

Olive Oil

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