FOODS TO HEAL WOUND AFTER A SURGERY

There are plenty of food which helps to heal patients who have just undergone an operation.

For Indians, we have been taught by our forefathers that eating sore fish or 'fin' soup heals the wound faster.I always remember that my grandmother and my mother would prepare delicious sore fish curry for those who have gone for a surgery.

i will post the recipe in my next post.

Other foods that heal wound are by eating plenty of fruits and vegetables. Good fruits such as guava which is rich in Vitamin C and papayas which has healing enzymes to help the wound to heal faster.

Doctors also advise their patients to consume fruits juices to heal their wound. This is because fruit juices travels directly to the desired cells of the body parts compared to when we eat the fruits as a whole.

Another remedy for these patients to drink boiled water to flush all toxins from their body. Everyone should drink atleast 8-10 glasses of water daily

A very important fruit that must be consumed by a heart patient who had a heart attack and who has just undergone a surgery is the kiwi fruit. This is because kiwi fruit contains high level of Vitamin C and the the nutritional values in the kiwi fruit provides strength and helps to restore a weak immune system.

This fruit can also be consumed by an ailing elderly patients and also to patients who have been ill for a long time.
