You are What You Eat
As you begin to recover from your surgery, you’ll most likely encounter higher levels of inflammation in your body as it begins to heal itself. The overall goal is to promote a healing environment by reducing inflammation and one of the ways this can be accomplished is through the foods we choose to eat as individuals. The old adage “you are what you eat…” never rings truer than when recovering from a surgery. By consuming high-quality, healthy foods which possess anti-inflammatory properties, you may notice a quicker recovery time as your body begins to heal.
