Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The ideal diet for him should include plenty of green leafy vegetables, proteins (chicken breast, turkey, soy, beans, egg whites). grains like rice, bran, whole wheat, fisk with healthy fats like mackerel, salmon. Avoid fruit juices and sugary drinks. Include fruits with a low glycemic index like strawberries in diet.
