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

What is a Mediterranean diet?

So, what’s considered a “Mediterranean” diet? If you’ve never tried it, maybe it’s about time! The food prepared in Mediterranean style is simple and delicious, and chock-full of health benefits as well. A Mediterranean diet is usually high in fruits and vegetables and low in saturated fat. It incorporates more fish and healthy oils rather than red meat. Many of their fats, such as olive oil, come from plant sources. This is much healthier for our bodies when compared to animal-based fat, such as butter or heavy cream.
