The Importance of Considering Vegetables in the Diet

Dr. Steven Gundry recommends incorporating vegetables from the Chicory family, such as radicchio, Belgian endive, and frisée. These vegetables contain compounds like inulin that promote the growth of friendly gut bacteria. He suggests including cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts, as they offer numerous health benefits. However, excessive consumption of cruciferous vegetables can suppress thyroid function, so moderation is key.
