Self Magazine advice

From the April issue of Self Magazine:

Don't want to inherit Grandma's arthritic joints? Go easy on her meat loaf. People who eat 14 ounces of red meat weekly may double their risk for inflammatory arthritis compared with those who eat less than 7 ounces, a study in the journal Arthritis & Rheumatism suggests. The high collagen content in meat could be a factor in an immune system response that affects joints. Instead of steak, reach for protein-rich foods like nuts, legumes and tofu.
