Healing Fast After Surgery

Healing Fast After Surgery

Author: Nutritional Weight & Wellness, Inc. March 4, 2024 Duration: 35:51

Americans undergo an average of nine surgical procedures in their lifetime, so today, we’re sharing tips and tools on how to eat real food and support your body for the best possible surgical recovery. If you haven’t had a surgical procedure yet, odds are that something will arise in the future, even if it’s just a minor procedure. Both of our co-hosts for this show have had major surgeries and know firsthand what the typical recommendations are that your surgeon and nursing staff tell you to do ahead of time to prepare. Tune in to hear what you can do with food and a few key supplements to help your body heal to reduce some of your post-surgery pain, swelling, risk of infection, and slower wound healing.
