Nuts and Seeds to Fight Arthritis

In the Mediterranean diet, nuts and seeds play a vital role. As a member of the protein food group, nuts are an excellent source of plant-based protein and fiber. Nuts and seeds provide healthy fats, such as anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids.


Enjoy a small handful of nuts or seeds daily; choose raw, lightly roasted, and unsalted varieties of nuts. Mix flaxseeds into batters for baked goods, sprinkle chia seeds into smoothies, top your salads with sliced almonds, or add some crushed pistachios onto your pasta.
