While diverticulitis can’t be completely prevented, you can reduce the risk of developing diverticulitis and recurrences by:
1. High-fiber diet: Eat a balanced diet rich in fiber (25-30 grams/day) from:
– Fruits
– Vegetables
– Whole grains
– Legumes
2. Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water (at least 8 cups/day) to help fiber move through the digestive system.
3. Exercise regularly: Regular physical activity can help stimulate bowel movements and improve overall health.
