It’s all very well to say that it’s best to eat a whole food plant-based diet, but different foods have very different benefits that are often not shared across food groups.įor example, cruciferous vegetables (particularly broccoli) contain sulfurophane, a powerful antioxidant which isn’t found in other plant foods. It’s created by Dr Michael Greger (founder of ), from having researched the special benefits of different plant-food groups.

The most helpful guide for a healthy diet that I’ve ever come across, hands-down, is called the Daily Dozen Challenge.
