What fruits can help wounds heal faster after surgery?

Of course, you can speed up wound healing after surgery through some reasonable diet, such as grapefruit, bananas, and fresh dates. These fruits are relatively common, but they are very effective in speeding up wound healing after surgery.

1. Grapefruit

Pomelo is sweet and cool in nature, and has the effects of strengthening the spleen and digestion, relieving cough and phlegm, reducing swelling and relieving pain, promoting qi and relieving alcohol, and anti-inflammatory and relieving spasms. It has a certain effect on relieving symptoms such as cough, shortness of breath, excessive phlegm and asthma, thirst, irritability and stomach problems. In addition, grapefruit can promote wound healing and treat sepsis.

2. Banana

Bananas are beneficial fruits rich in starch, sweet in taste and cold in nature. For some people with hemorrhoid congestion and those undergoing hemorrhoid surgery, eating bananas can reduce the expansion of postoperative blood stasis and speed up the recovery of postoperative wounds. After eating a banana, don’t be stingy with the remaining part at the root. You can directly apply it evenly on the wound. Apply it 4 to 5 times a day for several days. Not only will the wound heal quickly, but it will also keep the skin lubricated and smooth.

3. Fresh dates

Vitamin C supplementation is beneficial for wound healing. According to the measurements of Chinese experts, the vitamin C content in every 100 grams of fresh dates can reach 200-500 mg, which is higher than the 60-200 mg content in kiwi fruit. The potassium, iron and other elements in them are also among the best among fruits. Therefore, eating a handful of fresh dates every day can meet the body's daily vitamin C supply. But please note that fresh dates cannot be preserved for a long time. They will lose their fresh and crisp taste within a few days at room temperature. Therefore, they should be eaten as soon as possible after buying them.
