After surgery, your body goes through a lot to rebuild and recover. In addition to the healing from the actual procedure, it needs to repair tissue and replace fluids. The extra activity that occurs raises your metabolism and may require additional essential calories and nutrients such as proteins and certain vitamins. Here’s what you can do to make your recovery as effectively as possible:
1. Eat Enough Protein As muscle tissue is damaged or moved aside during surgery, your body instantly tries to repair and make new muscle. This requires protein. Add poultry, meat, fish, eggs, yogurt, cheese, beans and nuts to your meals and snacks.
2. Get the Right Vitamins In addition, there are specific vitamins that are involved in healing such as vitamin C, which aids in soft tissue (collagen) repair and vitamin E, which plays an important role in antioxidant defense.
3. Food sources of vitamin E: Almonds, sunflower seeds, peanuts, wheat germ and plant oils are rich in vitamin E.
4. Add On The Calories Many people lose weight at the time of diagnosis because of stress, chemical imbalance caused by the disease, or dysfunction of digestive organs or simply nausea.
