The Daily Dozen Checklist
In the quest for a healthier lifestyle, nutrition takes center stage.
Dr. Michael Greger, a renowned expert in the field and founder of NutritionFacts.org, offers a practical tool called the Daily Dozen checklist. This user-friendly guide helps individuals effortlessly include vital nutrients in their daily diet.
The Daily Dozen emphasizes a diverse intake of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, herbs, and spices. Hydration is crucial, along with regular physical activity. Dr. Greger also recommends supplements, acknowledging that while whole foods are ideal, some may benefit from additional support, especially with nutrients like Vitamin B12.
