YOUR BODY NEEDS NUTRIENTS TO RECOVERY PROPERLY!
WHAT SHOULD YOU EAT AFTER HAVING SURGERY?
When you’re recovering from surgery, it’s vital that you rest. Your body is working hard to heal, and staying off your feet is one of the best medicines. However, it’s equally important to fuel your body with the nutrients it needs to help with the healing process. But determining which foods to eat can be confusing — you have so many options! The best rule of thumb is to consume foods that will help you recover, strengthen your immune system and help alleviate post-surgery side effects. Here are the top six foods you should eat after surgery. Fruits and Vegetables The antioxidants in fresh fruits and vegetables will help boost your immune system by protecting your cells from free radicals. Free radicals are unstable molecules that can cause diseases, inflammation and other health issues. You can eat berries, oranges, fruits, peaches, carrots, bell peppers, Brussels sprouts, kale and other dark leafy greens. However, if you’re not keen on eating fruits and vegetables alone, try putting them in a smoothie! Soups and Broths You may experience nausea or loss of appetite after undergoing surgery. While it may be difficult to eat during this time, you must nourish and hydrate your body to recover properly. Soups and broths are excellent options if you want to eat something light. They are lightweight and easy to swallow and give your body the necessary nutrients it needs. Consider eating soups or broths that include black beans, vegetables and protein. Proteins and Whole Grains When you consume food that is high in protein, it can help build and repair muscle tissues — which is great after surgery! Lean meats like turkey or chicken are excellent for protein. However, Greek yogurt, eggs, beans, tofu and nuts are also great options. Whole grains are another great option if you become constipated and need additional fibers. If you have any dietary questions, please consult your health care provider.
