Nutritional overview - Healthy diets

Generally, a healthy diet will include:

*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;
*Sufficient quantities of fat, including monounsaturated fat, polyunsaturated fat and saturated fat, with a balance of omega-6 and long-chain omega-3 lipids;
*Avoidance of saturated fat.
*Avoidance of trans fat.
*Sufficient essential amino acids ("complete protein") to provide cellular replenishment and transport proteins;
*Essential micronutrients such as vitamins and certain minerals.
*Avoiding directly poisonous (e.g. heavy metals) and carcinogenic substances;
*Avoiding foods contaminated by human pathogens (e.g. e. coli, tapeworm eggs);
*Avoiding chronic high doses of certain foods that are benign or beneficial in small or occasional doses, such as
*foods or substances with directly toxic properties at high chronic doses (e.g. ethyl alcohol);
*foods that may interfere at high doses with other body processes;
*foods that may burden or exhaust normal functions (e.g. refined carbohydrates without adequate dietary fibre).

those diets are very healthy and if you`ll choose to follow them, you`ll be very pleased.
