Summarize the following:
Add fruits and vegetables like strawberries, oranges, apples, or spinach into your meals to help you get 75–90 mg of vitamin C daily. Opt for healthy sources of protein, such as eggs, lean meat, dairy, and seafood, in your meals since your body needs to work harder while you’re healing. Have about 0.36 grams of protein per pound of body weight. Try to incorporate foods into small meals or snacks throughout the day to ensure you get enough.  For example, if you weigh 150 pounds (68 kg), then you would need 54 g of protein daily. If you don’t get enough vitamin C in your diet, talk to your doctor about starting vitamin C supplements. Vitamin C helps boost your immune system while protein provides your body with energy and nutrients that promote healing. Try to have at least 8 glasses of water spaced throughout the day so your skin doesn’t dry out. Avoid sugary or caffeinated drinks, such as juice, soda, or coffee, since they can dehydrate you more and prevent your cut from healing as quickly. Dry skin can make it more difficult for cuts to heal and may also leave more noticeable scars. Set up a routine where you work out for at least 30 minutes per day, 5 days per week. Try walking or jogging, light weight training, biking, or swimming since they’re lower intensity and won’t be as painful on your wound. Continue staying active even after you’ve healed completely since it will help you prevent injury and heal quicker in the future.  If you have a severe cut, talk to your doctor about what activities you’re able to do. Exercising allows more blood and oxygen to your wound so it’s able to receive nutrients and heal. Cut down on any alcoholic beverages or smoking of any kind since it can stress your body and make you dehydrated. If you regularly drink or smoke, wait until your wound heals completely before starting again. Otherwise, your cut may take longer to heal or leave a scar. Smoking and drinking can affect how your body processes nutrients and makes it more difficult for your cut to heal.
Include more vitamin C and protein into your diet. Drink water so you stay hydrated and heal quickly. Practice regular exercise to increase blood flow and speed up recovery. Avoid drinking alcohol or smoking.
