People who adopt a healthy dietary pattern are also more likely to adopt other healthy lifestyle behaviors.

This is why in 2015 the US Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee proposed the following:

A healthy dietary pattern is higher in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low‐ or non‐fat dairy, seafood, legumes, and nuts; moderate in alcohol (among adults); lower in red and processed meats; and low in sugar‐sweetened foods and drinks and refined grains.

Even though most dietary patterns share common features, they differ significantly in the types of basic ingredients they use and the cooking methods. Hence, there is no one healthy dietary pattern for all, but people can adopt the one they prefer that satisfies not only their taste but also their sociocultural identity in an attempt to achieve long‐term adherence to it and, eventually, better health.
