Answer: The options are missing from the question,the options are;

"I will eat a diet that is low in fiber"

"I will avoid eating nuts and seeds"

"I will decrease my intake of fats and red meats"

"I will continue to work out by lifting weights"

The correct answer to the question is C

"I WILL DECREASE MY INTAKE IF FATS AND RED MEATS"

Explanation: Diverticular disease is the disease of the intestine that is characterised by formation of pouches,pockets or sac like structures in the intestine causing pain and sometimes inflammation.these small pouches are known as diverticula.

Individuals are encouraged to take meals that are high in fiber,fibers from vegetables and fruits and also to reduce their intake of red meat and fats as well as maintain a high level of physical activity inorder to decrease their risk of having diverticular disease.

It is yet to be proven that seeds and nuts can prevent diverticular disease but one can take a high fiber content meals once he or she presents with diverticular disease.

In diverticular disease,the goal is to apply less pressure on the abdomen inorder to avoid pain, an attack on the intestine or bursting of the pouches.

A patient with diverticular disease therefore needs to do activities and that will put little or no pressure on the abdomen, activities like vomitting,bending, straining at stool,lifting heavy objects and wearing tight) restrictive clothing can cause intraabdominal pressure and thus precipitating an attack on the already diseased intestine.
