How can the wound heal faster? In fact, in addition to avoiding wound infection, we need to supplement nutrition, such as protein (amino acids), vitamin C, zinc and so on. Therefore, the healing process can be completed faster and the wound can heal faster. Protein promotes tissue regeneration and recovery. Due to various reasons, such as bleeding, exudation, suppuration and tissue necrosis of our wounds, a great deal of protein is lost. At this time, the synthesis speed of protein will decrease, and the regeneration of tissue and the recovery of its function will be obviously delayed, especially in the case of serious lack of granulation tissue. Collagen formation is not good, and wound healing is delayed accordingly. At the same time, improve human immunity and avoid concurrent infection. Food sources in protein: Many foods rich in protein in daily diet are beneficial to human health, such as meat, eggs, poultry, fish, dairy products, bean products and nuts.

Vitamin C- promotes the formation of collagen molecules. Vitamin C has the function of catalyzing hydroxylase, which is very important for wound healing. Because when the human body lacks vitamin C, procollagen molecules are difficult to form, thus affecting the formation of collagen fibers. Prolyl and lysine must be hydroxylated by hydroxylase to form procollagen molecules. Food sources of vitamin C: Foods rich in vitamin C include jujube, hawthorn, cherry, kiwi fruit, orange and lemon.

Zinc promotes wound healing. During the healing process, the wound needs more zinc than usual. Therefore, wounds are more sensitive to zinc deficiency than normal skin. Studies have shown that whether our body is short of zinc before injury or not, zinc is short among tissues in the body after injury, thus forming zinc redistribution among tissues. However, it should be noted that not all types of zinc salts can accelerate wound healing. For example, tape containing zinc oxide can significantly promote wound healing, while zinc sulfate has no such effect. Food source of zinc: The food rich in zinc in daily life is oyster, followed by meat, liver and eggs. Brown rice, soybeans, peanuts, walnuts, Chinese cabbage and white radish also contain a lot of zinc, but the absorption rate of human body is relatively low.

Finally, in our daily diet, in addition to supplementing the above nutrients, we should also pay attention to supplementing unsaturated fatty acids, vitamins and trace elements such as iron and copper. At the same time, when our body lacks vitamin A, the wound will heal slowly. And it is prone to ulcers. Also pay attention to wound care. If the wound is not handled properly, it will not only slow down the healing speed of the wound, but also cause wound infection.
