The Importance of Good Nutrition Before & After a Joint Replacement
before a joint replacement
When preparing for joint replacement, it is important to ensure that you are getting the right nutrition to prepare your body for the surgery. Eating a balanced diet full of healthy proteins, fats and carbohydrates will help to build up your strength and give your body the energy it needs for the surgery. Aim to include plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits, lean meats and fish, whole grains, and healthy fats in your diet.
After a joint replacement
After joint replacement surgery, it is equally as important to eat a balanced diet full of nutrients in order to help your body recover. Eating plenty of protein will help to rebuild the muscles around the joint, while also helping to heal the surgical site. Additionally, it is important to make sure that you are getting enough of the vitamins and minerals that your body needs for healing. Aim to include plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits, lean meats and fish, whole grains, and healthy fats in your diet.
