An evidence-based daily nutritional checklist requiring specific daily portions of berries, cruciferous vegetables, greens, legumes, flaxseeds, nuts, spices (turmeric), whole grains, and hydration to maximize dietary antioxidant power (ORAC) and inhibit arterial plaque formation. Primary Citation: How Not to Die: Discover the Foods Scientifically Proven to Prevent and Reverse Disease (2015). Verified Public Record: "The single most powerful choice you make each day is what you put at the end of your fork. A daily dozen of whole unrefined plant foods floods the vascular system with polyphenols that preserve endothelial function." — How Not to Die (Part 2: Dr. Greger's Daily Dozen Checklist, p. 267 (2015))

One tablespoon of ground flaxseed daily supplies mammalian lignan precursors that protect vascular elasticity and support endothelial health.
