5 tips to heal wounds faster

Minor injuries can impact your skin and can disrupt your busy life by making things slow. Here are five simple tips that can help in healing wounds faster

 Increase your protein intake

Protein-rich foods like chicken, eggs, green leafy vegetables, tofu and beans contain macronutrients that can build strong tissues and heal wounds

Include seasonal fruits in your diet

Fruits are a good source of micronutrients like minerals and vitamins. Adding fruits like apples, papayas and citrus fruits can help provide all the essential nutrients required at the time

Drink ample water

Keep yourself hydrated as water can help flush out all the unnecessary toxins 

Use aloe vera

Aloe vera gel contains glucomannan that can help with cellular regeneration and wound healing

Control sugar intake

Make sure to limit the intake of sugar in your diet as high blood sugar increases the chances of infections, which hampers wound healing
