Hearty and Nutritious

Two recipes to fill you up without weighing you down.

Too often, the nutritious foods leave you feeling hungry. You need meals that satisfy your hunger while giving you the nutrition your body depends on.

We wanted to do our part to keep you feeling full yet healthy, so we pulled out two recipes from our Healthy Eating Guide for Psoriatic Disease. You can get your own free copy of this beautifully photographed guide and recipe booklet where you will find information on foods with anti-inflammatory properties as well as a number of recipes gathered from the community and reviewed by a registered dietitian.

Remember, no food can cure disease, including psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. Before you make any changes to your diet, consult with your health care provider.
