Dr. Marsha Davis answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

Healthy diet: 4 cups of fruits5 cups of vegetables, about 3 servings of whole grains, 5 servings of dairy(1%milk), 2 servings of red meats a week. 64 ounces of water a day. It is better to be a grazer & spread the food out than eat large portions. Your meats should be fish, chicken, turkey for the most part.
