Read the passage carefully and answer questions no 14 to 18.

Depending on the condition, patients may be advised to a liquid, soft or regular diet. Liquid diets are primarily fluid in consistency at room temperature. Also known as full-fluid diets, these include foods that are free from fiber and are nutritionally adequate. The advantage is that the nutrients are easily absorbed if the gastrointestinal tract is functioning normally. Such a diet is advised for persons who are unable to chew or swallow normally.

For example, coconut water, fruit juice, soup, milk, buttermilk, milkshakes, etc. A variation of this is also a clear liquid diet, which is even thinner in consistency, e.g., clear soups or juices (without pulp), very light tea, etc. A clear liquid diet is prescribed just after surgery. However, the limitation is that it is not easy to meet the nutritional requirements of the person completely. Soft diets provide semi-solid foods that are lightly seasoned and do not contain much fibrous or gas-forming foods. Such diets are easy to chew and digest.
