The question is incomplete as options are not given, however, the correct options are as follwos:

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

"I will avoid eating nuts and seeds."

"I will decrease my intake of fat and red meat."

"I will continue to work out by lifting weights."

The correct answer would be - "I will decrease my intake of fat and red meat."

Explanation:

A high-fiber diet, majorly from vegetables and fruits, and a very low intake of fat and red meat should be consumed to prevent diverticular disease.

Intense physical activity also helps to decrease the risk of this disease. Diet with high fiber is also recommended once the diverticular disease is persisting in an individual. Currently, there is no evidence to support the theory that diverticulitis can be prevented by avoiding nuts and seeds. Patients of this disease should avoid intraabdominal pressure because it may cause an attack.

The correct answer would be - "I will decrease my intake of fat and red meat."
