What Should Be Avoided During Wound Healing?
Disease description:
I sustained a laceration on my arm and am currently in the wound-healing phase. What foods should I avoid during wound healing?
During wound healing, avoid spicy and irritating foods as well as seafood—common allergens—as these may delay wound healing and increase the risk of infection. If a skin wound occurs, promptly disinfect it to prevent infection. Consuming high-protein foods can help accelerate wound healing.
