Healthy eating is so important for our health. We are what we eat. Food impacts how we feel, how we look, and how our body heals. Good eating habits are especially important before and after surgery to help your body heal.

Some basic tips I give my patients are:

  • Stay well hydrated
  • Avoid sugar and processed foods
  • Eat a varied diet of veggies, animal protein, and fruit
  • Use fresh and organic ingredients as much as possible
  • Try Bone Broth….you can make your own or buy it in specialty stores. (Make sure if you buy it, it is organic). It contains so many good things that promote healing and overall health.

A great resource for learning more about how food affects our health is one of my favorite books, Deep Nutrition by Catheerine Shanahan, MD
