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. Read on to learn more about why nutrition is important and how it may help your body achieve a quicker recovery.

For this reason, we’ve partnered with a team of local nutritionists to best assist our recovering patients on their journey towards health and wellness. Our nutritionist partners will be sure to provide you with a detailed plan of what to eat and what to avoid as you begin your new lease on life. You may even enjoy this new, healthy diet so much, you’ll continue to incorporate it into your daily lifestyle well after you’ve successfully recovered.

Some of the best anti-inflammatory foods consist of the following:

•Berries
