Read the following introduction. Then answer the question.
Eating a healthy diet is a lot like building a house. Health experts recommend starting with a good foundation of fruits and vegetables. Strive to include 5-7 servings of fruits and vegetables per day. This foundation will support strong walls for the daily recommended amount of grains, dairy products, and proteins. The roof of the house is the final 10% of a meal, which can be comprised of food products used sparingly - oils, salts, and sugars. A diet, just like a house, should be constructed carefully, using a firm foundation and building strong walls, to lead a healthy lifestyle.
