Please if possible eat red meats to promote good post-op wound healing
Sunday, August 24th, 2008Recently had a lovely MTF who required tonics to stimulate red blood cell production and slow to respond. Serum iron was extreemely low. Ultimately gave Venofer, iron sucrose injection 200 mg. Her only animal dietary protein was turkey.
A medical study relating to wound healing and diet
classified patients into 3 groups, pure vegetarians,
those that also ate chicken and fish, and those that
ate all common foods including red meats
Those who eat red meats heal the best and quite
honestly probably have the best iron reserves to
assist with making more red blood cells to replace a loss.
