Maintain a light and balanced diet, supplemented with protein, vitamins, collagen, soy products, milk, meat, and eggs. Avoid oily and spicy foods, and refrain from smoking and alcohol consumption. You may consume collagen-rich tendon foods such as beef tendon and cow's trotters, which are beneficial for tendon repair. Diabetic patients and others with specific medical conditions should avoid sugary foods. Patients should get adequate rest, avoid staying up late, increase fluid intake appropriately, and consult their attending physician for any additional dietary concerns.
