instruction: What is the current recommendation for a healthy diet?
response: The current guidance on eating a healthy diet consists of eating a balance of healthy foods. Most of your meal should consist of a mix of fruits and vegetables, taking into account that potatoes are not considered to count as a vegetable as they have a negative impact on blood sugar. A quarter of your meal should consist of whole grains, things like whole wheat, quinoa, oats, brown rice and things made from them such as whole wheat bread and pasta. The other quarter of your plate should consist of proteins such as fish, poultry, beans and nuts. You should limit red meat and avoid processed meat such as bacon and sausages. You should choose to cook or dress your food with healthy plant oils, such as olive oil or sunflower oil and avoid partially hydrogenated oils which contain trans fats. You should drink water, coffee or tea, avoid sugary drinks and limit fruit juice to only one small glass a day.
