Diet to Prevent Diverticulitis / Best Foods for Diverticulitis:

Diet is the most important aspect in the management of diverticulitis.
Unfortunately, once these pouches are formed you will have them for life. But you can prevent diverticulitis by being careful with your diet.
Preventing diverticulitis is easy; the mantra is to exercise regularly, drink lots of water, and eat high fiber foods such as-
* Fruits - apple, peach, pear, berries
* Vegetables - broccoli, Brussels sprouts, carrot, squash, spinach, potato, beans, legumes
* Whole grains - brown rice, oatmeal, whole wheat bread.

Here's the amount of fiber you can get from these foods-
* A cup of cooked legumes and beans contain 15g to 17g of fiber.
* A cooked medium sized artichoke will give you 10.3g of fiber.
* A cup of cooked peas will give you about 9g of fiber.
* A cup of boiled broccoli and Brussels sprouts contain 5.1g and 4.1g of fiber respectively.
* Berries contain about 8g of fiber per cup.
* A medium sized pear gives about 5.5g of fiber.
* Cooked grains too contain 4g to 7g of fiber per cup.

Aim for 20 to 35 grams of fiber each day.

Drink at least 8 cups of fluids daily, preferably water. This will help soften your stool.

Infertility affects about 9% of married women who are of childbearing age, according to a national survey conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. While couples can't control all of the causes of infertility, they can control their eating habits. And, nutrition and a healthy body weight for both partners can have a significant impact on the ability to conceive.

Women following the "fertility diet" chose:

* Less trans fat (chips- fried food…)and more monounsaturated fat (from foods such as avocados and olive oil)
* Less animal protein (red meat 🥩)and more vegetable protein
* More high-fiber, low-glycemic carbohydrate-rich foods (including whole grains)
* More vegetarian sources of iron (leafy vegetables) and fewer meat sources
* Multivitamins
* High-fat dairy instead of low-fat dairy.

In general, eating more vegetables and a variety of types, eating healthy monounsaturated fats instead of saturated and trans fats, making at least half your grains whole, and getting enough calcium-rich foods — including dairy — will help you meet nutrient needs and promote a healthy weight.

Does the type of kidney stone I had affect food choices I should make?


Yes. If you have already had kidney stones.
Based on the type of kidney stone you had, you may be able to prevent kidney stones by making changes in how much sodium, animal protein, calcium, or oxalate is in the food you eat.
You may need to change what you eat and drink for these types of kidney stones:
* Calcium Oxalate Stones
* Calcium Phosphate Stones
* Uric Acid Stones
* Cystine Stones

Exemple of restricted diet for
Calcium Oxalate Stones

Reduce oxalate
If you’ve had calcium oxalate stones, you may want to avoid these foods to help reduce the amount of oxalate in your urine:
* nuts and nut products
* peanuts—which are legumes, not nuts, and are high in oxalate
* rhubarb
* spinach
* wheat bran

Reduce sodium
Your chance of developing kidney stones increases when you eat more sodium. Sodium is a part of salt. Sodium is in many canned, packaged, and fast foods. It is also in many condiments, seasonings, and meats.

Limit animal protein
Eating animal protein may increase your chances of developing kidney stones.
A health care professional may tell you to limit eating animal protein, including
* beef, chicken, and pork, especially organ meats
* eggs
* fish and shellfish
* milk, cheese, and other dairy products
Although you may need to limit how much animal protein you eat each day, you still need to make sure you get enough protein. Consider replacing some of the meat and animal protein you would typically eat with beans, dried peas, and lentils, which are plant-based foods that are high in protein and low in oxalate.

Get enough calcium from foods
Even though calcium sounds like it would be the cause of calcium stones, it’s not. In the right amounts, calcium can block other substances in the digestive tract that may cause stones. Talk with a health care professional about how much calcium you should eat to help prevent getting more calcium oxalate stones and to support strong bones. It may be best to get calcium from low-oxalate, plant-based foods such as calcium-fortified juices, cereals, breads, some kinds of vegetables, and some types of beans.
