You can help healing by eating healthy. Follow a diet high
in vitamin C, protein and zinc. Vitamin C is found in citrus
fruits such as oranges and grapefruits. Vitamin C is also in
vegetables such as broccoli and brussel sprouts.
Meat, fish and milk products are high in protein and zinc.
Choose low fat protein. Your health care provider may want
you to take multivitamins or nutritional supplements as well.
