Recovery Begins Before Surgery
Why it is important to prepare your body for Surgery
You would not run a marathon without training before the day of the race, the same principle applies when preparing for surgery. Optimizing your nutrition with the specific vitamins, minerals and nutrients prior to surgery helps to reduce risk of complication, speed up recovery, and support an overall smooth experience.
Fueling for Surgery
-
Energy Burn and Muscle Loss
Your body burns a lot of additional calories during and after surgery. The body’s main source of energy comes from carbohydrates but once it has burned through all of your available carbohydrate it turns to muscles. Our focus pre-operative is to build up nutrient stores to support muscle and tissue repair and reduce inflammation in the initial post-operative period.
