Nutrition Matters Before And After Surgery.

Nutrition, both before and after your surgery, can play a vital role in how quickly and well you recover. From reducing your risk of infection to possibly lessening the appearance of scarring, the role nutrition plays in healing from any surgical procedure should not be overlooked.

The foods you eat significantly affect weight, blood pressure, mood, and your body’s overall function. Food has so much control over how the body operates, it also dictates how well it will respond to surgery and trauma.

When you have surgery, swelling and inflammation are your body’s natural reactions. They happen because the body sends extra blood to the site of the trauma and incision, which carries nutrients and platelets that help the healing process.

Food sensitivities   can wreak havoc on your health. Different from food allergies, food and chemical hypersensitivities are still a function of your immune system. Any disorder with an inflammatory component can be prompted by irritating food or chemicals, but the following are some examples:

Migraine and headache
Autoimmune disease
Rheumatoid arthritis
Fibromyalgia
Crohn’s disease (an inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD)
Ulcerative colitis (an inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD)
GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease)
Irritable bowel disease
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EE)
PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome)
I use the patented MRT (mediator release test) to evaluate 170 common food and food chemicals and determine a person’s reactive foods. Then, utilizing the LEAP diet protocol, we develop a customized eating plan to reduce inflammation. Pain relief and reduction of symptoms are usually seen within 10-14 days.
