How To Heal Wounds Faster?
Now generally speaking, wounds recover much better in a moist closed environment now, wounds are usually maintained by having regular dressing changes wound cleaning and special dressings but before we go too much deep into, this is something that your doctor or nurse will advise you on as part of your post-surgery aftercare, In this, we will suggest your nutritional and lifestyle advice which is often overlooked by many patients and it can actually delay inhibit and even complicate wound healing.
Tip 1: Hydration now you know it may sound simple but remember this dehydrated skin is less elasticized more fragile and more susceptible to breakdown dehydration also reduces the efficiency of our blood circulation so less oxygen and nutrients are able to get to the wound which desperately needs them so to avoid dehydration it's pretty simple aim for six to eight glasses of water a day unless you recommended otherwise by your healthcare professional.
Tip 2: Now if you're not getting enough protein it can actually impair the remodeling and rebuilding stage of the wound healing process it can also impair collagen production, which will mean that the wound will be weaker and can also increase the risk of an infection. The protein-rich foods include meats, poultry, beans, and many more but don't worry keep running through all the tips and this blog will tell you everything you need to know but at the end of the blog you can click a really useful link https://www.esht.nhs.uk/wp-content/up... at the last below which explains how much to eat what to eat and various different other information for a healthy diet.
Tip 3: Energy now your main source of energy is from carbohydrates and fats but collagen production takes a lot of energy now depending on the complexity and the size of your wound you may actually need to increase your calorie intake but your doctor will inform you of this and if it's needed they'll involve a dietitian in your care, now the reason you need the carbohydrates and energy available is that if you don't your body's going to use those precious proteins we mentioned earlier for energy and we don't want that you also need the fats available so your body can make cell membranes fats are also useful again because they're going to prevent your body from using protein for energy.
Tip 4: Vitamins and minerals now eating a balanced and varied diet should get you all of these now for chronic wound healing sometimes supplementation is required, which a dietitian will initiate. The main vitamins for wound healing are vitamin A vitamin B and the most important one vitamin C, vitamin C is actually needed for collagen production cross-linking and even the formation of new blood vessels at the site of the wound and vitamin C can be found in a variety of different foods just oranges, broccoli, strawberries, Kiwis. After the foods the vitamins are found more useful now in terms of minerals zinc copper and iron and the main ones that are involved in wound healing now you should be able to get all these in a varied and balanced diet quite easily now if you're wondering which foods are found in please go through the link https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/vitamin.... Now in terms of what they do zinc plays a key role in protein and collagen production in tissue growth and wound healing and iron is part of the system that provides oxygen to the site of the wound
Tip 5: Smoking if you do smoke please try to quit or stop entirely it's probably best if you try and quit before the surgery smoking actually delays the wound healing it actually reduces the amount of oxygen that gets to the wound it increases your blood sugar and even has been shown to increase the pain at the site of the wound and nobody wants that now please remember if you are ever worried about a wound or you just want to get checked out to make sure it's okay it's always best to check with the nurse doctor or pharmacist so they can advise appropriately.
