My father is 61 years old and is diagnosed with pulmonary lung fibrosis. what is the ideal diet for such condition?

Healthy weight: With pulmonary fibrosis the lungs are stiff which means it is hard to get them moving. So the key as far as diet goes is to minimize the amound of weight that he has to move with his chest.
