The essential guide to eating well after surgery or injury. Recovering from surgery or a serious illness can be one of the most physically demanding experiences anyone will ever face. However, what most people don’t realise is that the foods that they choose to eat during this time can make a big difference to how easily, and how quickly, they can recover.
In Heal Better, Heal Faster, Lynn Slovak shares practical, evidence-based nutrition strategies to support your body through this process, whatever your surgery may have been.
In it, you’ll learn which foods help support wound, bone and tissue repair, discover those that reduce the risk of infection, and gain a better understanding of the key nutrients needed to strengthen your body’s own natural healing responses. There is also a detailed discussion of the importance of the gut microbiome as well as guidance on what to limit and even avoid completely while your body is working hard to recover.
“What I like about this book is that it gives you the tools to be more in control of your own healing, armed with plenty of practical information for you and your family. It’s a beautiful hardback book, with an attractive, cheery cover, so it would make a great gift.”
