The Challenge:
Surgery, even in its least invasive forms, takes a toll on your body and leaves you more susceptible to infection. Significantly increased nutritional and metabolic demands are imposed on your body as it fights to sustain and recover from the significant trauma of surgery. This is an enormous challenge and one that requires every cell in your body to be operating at peak capacity.
Healing and recovery occur at the cellular level and are driven by optimized nutrition.Vital micronutrients fuel your cells’ ability to repair and rebuild tissue. Optimizing these essential vitamins, minerals and co-factors has the remarkable ability to foster and accelerate healing. Without them, your cells are unable to perform the required reparative functions properly and your recovery is compromised.
Unfortunately, due to the diminished nutrient levels in today’s food sources, many people lack these vital nutrients, which are essential to the body’s natural healing processes.
That is why proper nutrition before and after surgery is so important to your overall recovery and successful outcome. Think of the operating room as a battleground and your body as a soldier. You wouldn’t send a soldier into battle unarmed would you? Then why send your body into the O.R. without arming your cells with the vital micronutrients they need to sustain and heal from surgery?
