Amino Acids for After Surgery Recovery Tips/ Home Care in Beverly Hills

Recovering after surgery is not just about getting adequate rest or taking care of a wound; a healthy diet is essential for post-surgery healing. A diet rich in nutrients can help with recovery time, help you regain your strength and help boost your immune system. Sometimes it can be difficult to eat enough after surgery due to loss of appetite, but not getting enough nutrients can slow healing and delay the closure of incisions. There are some foods, however, you can try to optimize your healing process.

Certain amino acids seem to help wounds heal faster. The amino acid glutamine is particularly good for post surgery healing. A Harvard Medical School review of glutamine indicates that people who got the amino acid intravenously after surgery spent an average of four fewer days in the hospital. Glutamine also helps your immune system function and appears to be needed for normal brain function and digestion. Foods rich in amino acids are:

Fish, chicken, eggs, brown rice, walnuts, raw spinach, almonds and sunflower seeds. Amino acid-rich foods also tend to be good sources of protein, which is essential for healing after surgery.

Getting older comes with risks and rewards...and some wearing down is expected. Enter the question, "Should You Have A Knee of Hip Replacement?" Joint replacement surgery can be a life changing move for the right patients. However, it won't help everyone who suffers knee of hip pain. So how can we know? WebMd.com comes in with a wonderful article highlighting some scenarios that may help you decide.

Joint replacement is great for people with bone damage, such as Osteoarthritis. If you are experiencing pain and stiffness to the point that other options aren't helping, consult your doctor.
