Vitamin C promotes wound healing and increases sensitivity to stress such as injury and infection. During infection and fever, the loss of this vitamin also increases, so its response to stimulation plays an important role. At the same time, the wound healing process after operation needs to be filled with collagen, and the formation of collagen fibers needs the help of vitamin C.
Vitamin C exists in various vegetables and fruits, mainly green vegetables, spinach, oranges, red dates, kiwis, oranges, grapefruit, cauliflower, grape juice and tomatoes. According to research, the optimal dosage of vitamin C per person per day should be100-200mg, with a minimum of 60μ g..
2. Foods containing vitamin A
Vitamin A is also a nutrient that can promote wound healing and whiten skin. Vitamin A plays an important role in cell differentiation, epithelial fibroblast proliferation and collagen synthesis. Vitamin A deficiency will hinder the healing of surgical wounds.
Therefore, if you want to make the wound heal quickly, you can eat more foods containing vitamin A: animal liver, egg yolk, carrots, tomatoes, milk and so on. Adult men need to take 700 micrograms of vitamin A every day, but be careful not to overdo it to avoid harm to their health.
3. Foods containing glucose
Sugar is the main energy supplier of human body, and supplying sufficient energy is indispensable for wound healing. During the period of wound healing, you can eat more fruits rich in sugar, which not only increases sugar, but also absorbs enough vitamins.
In order to get enough glucose in one day, it is necessary to pay attention to eating foods rich in glucose every meal. It is best to absorb glucose slowly: macaroni, cereal, biscuits, black beans, rice, tapioca flour … The above foods can gradually release glucose. It is useless to keep eating fast sugar, white sugar and sweets to maintain vitality.
4. Rich food in protein.
Some amino acids in high-quality protein have a positive effect on wound healing and anti-infection, such as arginine, which has a very obvious effect on human lymphocyte immune response and wound healing after surgery. Most importantly, arginine can stimulate insulin secretion, promote the growth of muscle tissue and enhance the body's immunity. Foods rich in arginine include seafood, lean meat, poultry, milk and its products, as well as chocolate and nuts. In addition, glutamine and cysteine are both essential amino acids for wound healing. Studies have shown that timely and appropriate supplementation of glutamine can effectively prevent the decomposition of muscle protein, and increase the volume of cells and promote muscle growth through cell hydration. When we eat meat, we always like to eat meat next to bones, which is not only delicious, but also more biting. It is because glutamine is more in the muscles of bones, and the rest is in the lungs, livers and stomachs of animals. Cysteine is a common amino acid in organisms, which can be transformed from methionine in the body. Foods rich in methionine are fish and eggs.
5. Foods containing zinc
Zinc is very helpful to the normal operation of the human body, and it will have an impact on metabolism, immunity, tissue healing and repair. Zinc can combine with vitamin C, participate in the synthesis of collagen in the body, increase resistance and promote wound healing.
The best way is to eat more foods containing zinc (1 1 mg for men and 8 mg for women). Foods rich in zinc include lean meat, seafood (especially oysters, which have the highest zinc content), grains and other plants rich in protein, such as beans.
