USE THE PARAGRAPH TO 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.
