Generally, a healthy diet will include: 1.Sufficient calories to maintain a person's metabolic and activity needs, but not so excessive as to result in fat storage greater than roughly 12% of body mass; 2.Sufficient fat, consisting mostly of mono- and polyunsaturated fats (avoiding saturated and "trans" fats and with a balance of omega-6 and long chain omega-3 lipids; 3.Sufficient essential amino acids("complete protein") to provide cellular replenishment and transport proteins; 4.Essential micronutrients such as vitamins and certain minerals. 5.Avoiding directly poisonous (e.g. heavy metals) and carcinogenic (e.g. benzene) substances; 6.Avoiding foods contaminated by human pathogens (e.g. coli, tapeworm eggs); 7.Avoiding chronic high doses of certain food that are benign or beneficial in small or occasional doses... --- So eat micronutrient gained from meat, vegetables, and other foods is what makes diets healthy, not only consuming 'healthy' foods. For instance, milk, cheese, and other diary products are known to have a relatively high fat content. Removing such diary products from a diet may lower fat ingestion, but it will also negatively affect the intake of calcium and riboflavin that such foods offer. Foods such as grains, fish, corn etc. are healthy when consumed with a balanced diet, because in combination they supply us with all of the required nutrients. The most important aspect of any diet is maintaining a healthy intake & balance of foods..........
