Question

protein diet to promote

for a wound

Answer 1

Protein is a macronutrient necessary for body building (tissue repairing and tissue rejuvenation or tissue building)

When there is a wound the tissues are affected leading to death of tissues, exucates,pus formation resulting in oozing or discharge from an open wound.

Protein in simple helps to provide polyunsaturated fatty acids and collagen fibers to enhance healing. A deficient nutrient cannot produce this enzyme resulting in poor wound healing or no healing. As protein is lost in the exudates it has to be replaced a very high protein diet.For a better and faster healing the required quantity of protein is 2gm/kg or more as required and advice of the healthcare professionals.
