If you are eating healthy, fruit and vegetables, then you are doing fine with the diet. Blueberries, olive oil are fine. Just eat what is available and in season. Do the exercises daily and you will stay healthy.

I would only take advice from your doctor on this one. Ask him what kind of exercises are safe and how to do them.
