What is the soft diet?

Low in fiber and seasoning, easily digested High fiber Spicy foods only Raw vegetables

Correct Answer:

Low in fiber and seasoning, easily digested

Explanation:

Soft diet focuses on texture and gentle digestion, using foods that are soft, easy to chew and swallow. Because the aim is to minimize digestive workload, these foods are typically low in fiber and mild in seasonings, so they pass through the system with less effort and less irritation. That’s why describing the diet as low in fiber and seasoning and easily digested best matches the concept. High-fiber foods add bulk and require more chewing and digestive processing, so they don’t fit. Spicy foods can irritate the GI lining and are not characteristic of a bland, gentle diet. Raw vegetables are harder to break down and chew, so they aren’t part of a soft-diet pattern.
