How to make the wound recover faster?

   has been in charge of clinical nutrition catering for more than ten years in the hospital, and has dealt with countless patients. Many of them are patients in the recovery period after surgery, so how do they need to adjust their diet during the wound recovery period?

   accounts for the largest proportion of our human body is the water, ancient cloud: women are made of water, men are made of mud. This is pure joke, in fact, men are also made of water. The moisture content of our body accounts for 60%~70%, the moisture content of female body is higher than that of male. It can be said that water is the source of life and the root of life.

  In the wound recovery period, in addition to the need for sufficient water intake to facilitate the excretion of toxins produced by the body, the water intake after surgery is mostly input in the form of normal saline or glucose liquid, of course You can also drink water according to the doctor''s advice. In addition, the most important nutrient is protein, especially the demand for high-quality protein will increase. Because the protein accounting for 16% not only constitutes the main material basis of our body, but also the nutrients necessary to maintain our health. If protein intake is poor during surgery recovery, not only will the wound heal slowly, but it will also increase the chance of infection.

Some amino acids in high-quality protein have a positive effect on wound healing and anti-infection, such as arginine. Arginine has a positive effect on wound healing, which is a recognized fact in clinical nutrition. Arginine as a conditional amino acid has a very obvious effect on the immune response of lymphocytes and wound healing after surgery. As a condition, it must have amino acids to participate in energy metabolism and detoxification in the body, which can promote energy balance and detoxification of the body. The most important thing is that arginine has the effect of stimulating insulin secretion, promoting muscle tissue growth and enhancing body immunity.

  Foods rich in arginine include seafood, lean meat, poultry, milk and their products, as well as chocolate, nuts and so on. During the wound recovery period after surgery, the patient''s general activity is limited, and some dietary adjustments are required. Master Yan Lin of the Shaolin Temple Superintendent once told me that "everything in the world needs to be activated." Not only is our appetite and nutrient absorption.
