Foods for RA: Colorful Produce
Nutritionists often advise people to add color to their diet. Why? The substances that give fruits and vegetables their color — flavonoids and carotenoids — are also potent antioxidants. Antioxidants are an important component of an inflammation-fighting diet. Vitamin C is another antioxidant found in many fruits and vegetables.
Fruits and veggies high in these antioxidants include blueberries, blackberries, squash, sweet potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, peppers, oranges, broccoli, and melons.
Choosing colorful foods — with red, orange, yellow, blue, green, and purple hues — will ensure you eat a variety of fruits and vegetables and help you have a balanced diet.
