I'm sure that the change in diet that was suggested would be a really good start, but I would suggest that you make certain you have an excellent primary care physician. If he or she isn't able to give you all the answers you need, ask for a referral to a specialist. Diet, exercise, good medical care, and if needed, proper medication. Meditation is also known to help. Good luck to you....
If your PCP says it’s okay to start exercising, walk out your front door - walk five minutes, turn around and go home. Then one week later, increase the walk to 10 minutes out, 10 minutes back. Easy does it, no need to increase fast. I listen to audio books when i’m walking/running.
But as they say, always check with your doctor first. Good luck!
I am 82. Live one day at a time and do your best. And enjoy your life. Sounds Pollyanna but only way I know.

Take a look at the Mayo Clinic Diet Plan.
Follow the vegetarian or Mediterranean plan.
