  What is a healthy diet?
  A healthy diet is a way of eating that that reduces risk for
  complications such as heart disease and stroke. Healthy eating includes
  eating a wide variety of foods including vegetables, whole grains,
  fruits, non-fat dairy products, beans, and lean meats, poultry and
  fish. There is no one perfect food so including a variety of different
  foods and watching portion sizes is key to a healthy diet. Also, make
  sure your choices from each food group provide the highest quality
  nutrients you can find. In other words, pick foods rich in vitamins,
  minerals and fiber over those that are processed.
  People with diabetes can eat the same foods the family enjoys. Everyone
  benefits from healthy eating so the whole family can take part in
  healthy eating. It takes some planning but you can fit your favorite
  foods into your meal plan and still manage your blood glucose, blood
  pressure and cholesterol.
