Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Diet plan for your husband is as follows:

  • Do not use table salt, i.e, avoid using salt for him over and above what you use in cooking vegetables and other dishes.
  • Avoid pickles/white bread/soups/noodles/any kind of food requiring excessive preservation/lentil cakes (papad or appalam), chutneys and indigenous powders (churans).
  • He must not take alcohol more than 2 pegs a day (in case he drinks). It would be better to quit the habit.
  • He should do daily exercise under supervision of physician.
  • Must try to keep his weight under control (Body Mass Index BMI- 23).
  • Avoid sweets/fried items/saturated fats/pure processed carbohydrates like potato chips etc.
  • Diet should have fibers/vegetables/nuts/legumes/ fruits/low fat dairy products.
  • Try to do meditation and yoga.
  • He should quit smoking (In case if he smokes).

Hope this helps.
