Directions
- Soaking grains like rice helps make them more digestible, which helps the body absorb nutrients better and makes nutrients more available. If you don’t have time to soak the rice, at the very least rinse and drain it well before cooking.
- Whole grain rice is a better choice for people with arthritis for many reasons, including the ability to fight inflammation. Refined grains have very little nutritional value and can worsen inflammation throughout the body.
- Both pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds are high in vitamin E, which acts as an antioxidant, protecting the body from inflammation and free radical damage to cells.
