In a world dominated by convenience and processed foods, growing your own food may seem like a step back in time—but it’s one of the healthiest steps you can take.
Dr. Gregory Duhon, MD, highlights the numerous benefits of cultivating your own fruits, vegetables, and herbs, from improving diet quality to promoting physical activity, and how these simple practices contribute to a healthier, longer life.
Improved Diet Quality
Research suggests that individuals who grow their own food are more likely to consume fruits and vegetables daily. This increase in dietary variety can lead to improved intake of essential nutrients and reduced consumption of processed foods.
