Your body needs extra energy and nutrients for recovery after surgery. However, there are some nutrients that play a special role in this. This article briefly explains them.
After all, anything that boosts your recovery is a good thing.
The importance of healthy nutrition
Many of us do not get the right nutrition and can already improve our health with small adjustments. Our health depends on what we put into our bodies. Eating enough fruits and vegetables, with the right nutritional value, is the best way to regain your health and keep your body healthy. Many conditions and diseases can be prevented simply by choosing the right foods.
Healthy living
We all want to be healthy, but of course this starts with healthy living. Nutrition and exercise are important parts of this. But what is healthy nutrition? Good nutrition ensures that we get enough nutrients. This obviously includes vitamins and minerals. These are important to function properly and to maintain good health. But vitamins and minerals can also help prevent certain diseases.

Eiwitten
Eiwitten zijn vooral belangrijk voor herstel van beschadigd weefsel. Eiwitten uit de voeding leveren diverse aminozuren die het lichaam nodig heeft als bouwstoffen voor lichaamsweefsel. Eiwitrijk voedsel helpt je lichaam ook om infecties en ontstekingen tegen te gaan, onder andere doordat ze de bloedsuikerspiegel stabiliseren.
Vitamine A
Vitamine A is belangrijk voor een gezond immuunsysteem en celgroei. Met name voor de aanmaak van botweefsel doordat het de productie van collageen activeert en helpt om nieuwe bloedvaten aan te maken. Doordat vitamine A het immuunsysteem stimuleert, vergroot het ook de weerstand tegen infecties. LEES OOK: Tasty food without guilt; swallow a No Regret before meals
Vitamin C, D and Omega 3 fatty acids
Vitamin C is the most well-known resistance vitamin. This vitamin stimulates the formation of white blood cells. White blood cells are an important part of our immune system, or resistance. Vitamin C can also shorten the duration of a cold and make symptoms less severe. Vitamin C is especially common in fruits and vegetables. So make sure you get enough of this. In addition, vitamin C also helps protect your cells from oxidative stress caused by toxins such as free radicals. Vitamin D helps against infections and helps maintain healthy bones. Omega 3 fatty acids (healthy fats) contribute to the immune system and have an anti-inflammatory effect.
From food
At NewFysic, we recommend eating two pieces of fruit and at least 250 grams of vegetables. This ensures you get enough vitamins and minerals to help strengthen your resistance and immune system. In addition, of course, we pay attention to ensuring that the diet is as complete as possible. That means a good distribution of carbohydrates, proteins and fats. In addition, we take into account that the diet is low in sugars and consists mainly of complex carbohydrates (with a low glycemic index) and that it contains a nice amount of fiber.
