Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of a healthy diet?

A healthy diet generally limits saturated fat, cholesterol, and salt to support heart and overall health. Carbohydrates are an important source of energy, and a healthy diet does not need to be low in carbohydrates; it should favor nutritious sources such as whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. Therefore, “low in carbohydrates” is not a general characteristic of a healthy diet.
