Top Nutrients to Support Your Post-Surgery Recovery 💪✨ I always try to encourage my patients to give their bodies what it needs to heal and thrive! I’ve previously talked about foods to avoid - like salty/sugary foods to minimize inflammation. Here’s a list of key enzymes, vitamins, and minerals to support recovery after surgery: 🍍Bromelain – A powerful enzyme that reduces inflammation, promotes healing, and breaks up bruising/hematomas. 🥦Quercetin – A flavonoid with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties to support the body’s natural recovery process. 🍊Vitamin C – Boosts collagen production for tissue repair, reduces bruising, and enhances immunity. Vitamin A – Supports wound healing and strengthens the immune system to fight infection. 💊B-Complex Vitamins – Aid in energy production, stress management, and red blood cell formation for faster recovery. 🥩Zinc – Promotes collagen production and tissue regeneration while boosting immunity. 🥉Copper – Supports collagen cross-linking and works with vitamin C and zinc to rebuild connective tissue. 🍓Bioflavonoids – Strengthen blood vessels, reduce bruising, and enhance vitamin C absorption. 🌟 #drkieutips #PostSurgeryRecovery #HealingSupport #NutritionMatters #RecoveryTips #PatientCare #WellnessJourney
