Individuals who have experienced injuries or surgery should take precautions when it comes to their diet. Consuming hot, spicy, processed, greasy, undercooked, and raw foods can increase the risk of infection and hinder wound healing. These foods can irritate the body’s mucosa and slow down the healing process.
Dr. Nguyen Anh Duy Tung from the Nutrihome Nutrition Center advises that patients follow a scientific diet to reduce inflammation and promote wound healing. He recommends avoiding foods that worsen inflammatory responses, increase the risk of infection or allergies. These include hot and spicy foods, processed and greasy foods, and undercooked meat.
Consuming raw meat, fish, and seafood increases the risk of infection due to potential contamination by harmful pathogens such as Salmonella and E. coli. Patients must avoid these foods to prevent complications like food poisoning and blood infections after an injury or surgical procedure. Allergies can strain the immune system, diverting resources from fighting infections and supporting wound healing. Patients should exclude any food allergies in their past or new ones to minimize any potential allergic reactions that can impede wound recovery.
Furthermore, patients should transition gradually from liquid to solid foods by consuming smaller meals throughout the day to ensure proper nutritional intake. Following a proper diet plan can significantly contribute to the healing process and overall well-being of individuals post-injury or surgery.
In conclusion, individuals should adhere to doctor-recommended dietary guidelines post-injury or surgery while monitoring wound progress closely. They should avoid any unusual symptoms while following a proper diet plan that reduces inflammation and promotes wound healing.
