Meat or Alternatives
The older we get, the more vital it is to have protein as part of our diets, and if you are recovering from surgery, your body will need high amounts of protein and iron. The regenerative power of amino acids cannot be underestimated as the protein will help repair any potential muscle damage and speed up the healing of any wounds.
The iron will create new blood cells and help you regain some of your energy and while you might suffer from digestive issues after surgery, slow cooked meats in sauces or ground meats can help you eat this vital source of protein with ease.
It’s not just meats that are high in protein too, you can also get it from –
Poultry
Seafood
Beans and lentils
Nuts
Eggs
Tofu
