As we age, our ability to heal ourselves decreases. Not only can open wounds heal painfully slow in our aging community, but the longer healing process increases risk for infection.
However, along with following doctor’s orders, you can aide your body’s SUPERPOWER to heal itself through proper nutrition.
This includes eating plenty of lean proteins, staying hydrated and eating well balanced meals.
Supplementation of amino acids like arginine and glutamine, vitamins A, C and E and protein may further aide in healing your open wound. Please, before you supplement, check with your healthcare provider. Supplements can interfere with medications you are currently taking.
