How People with Rheumatoid Arthritis Benefit from a Mediterranean-style Diet

Nuts and legumes

Add more nuts and legumes onto your plate. It’s a healthy way to get your protein without having to eat as much animal fat, which can increase the risk for high cholesterol and heart disease. These foods are rich in fiber and antioxidants as well, which are not only great for your digestive tract but can also help fight off any toxins in your body as well. Adding nuts and beans to a salad or soup can really help beef up the protein level of your meal. More protein also means you’ll feel full and satisfied too!
