The recovery period after surgery is crucial for both the surgical outcome and overall health, so making appropriate dietary adjustments is essential. The following dietary habits should be noted:
1. Balanced nutrition: After surgery, it is important to ensure adequate intake of protein, vitamins, and minerals to promote wound healing and physical recovery. It is recommended to consume more lean meat, fish, eggs, fresh vegetables, and fruits.
2. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables: Vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, which can promote skin regeneration and accelerate the healing process.
3. Avoid irritating foods: Spicy, greasy, seafood, and other irritating foods may exacerbate postoperative swelling and inflammatory responses and should be avoided as much as possible.
