Diet

Whether you are recovering from organ surgery, oral surgery, bone surgery, laparoscopic surgery, tumor removal surgery, or any other - the right diet plan can have a big impact on the speed of your recovery and healing. Pain, bleeding, swelling, and surgery site inflammation will naturally occur at and around the surgery site. More specifically, by giving your body proper quantities of key nutrients, cleansing protocols, and avoiding the wrong foods can greatly assist in reducing the severity of the pain and swelling.

Water

Dehydration can lead to feelings of fatigue. If your body is imbalanced enough, it can lose its sense of thirst and even mistake it for hunger (for sweets, snacks, etc).

Substituting soda, coffee, black tea, or even fruit/veg juice for your water needs does not hydrate as well as water. Whereas certain herbal teas/extracts can contribute to your daily requirement, and even speed healing, black tea is acidic and diuretic.

Your water should be as pure as possible. That is to say, should not contain chlorine, farming pesticides, heavy metals, microbials, or other chemicals not properly filtered from the municipal recycling systems.

Quantity – since each body and physiological condition is unique, listen to your body’s responses. Activity level, humidity, genetics, stress, and even gender (the Mayo notes that men need more water than women) are factors. Try drinking a single glass of water and check, for example, if it reduces false hunger pangs. Did you know that staying hydrated will actually help you to lose weight? If a person is dehydrated, then their body may compensate by retaining excess water as a protective measure.

The U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine determined that an adequate daily fluid intake is:

• About 15.5 cups (3.7 liters) of fluids a day for men

• About 11.5 cups (2.7 liters) of fluids a day for women

That may seem like a lot, but these recommendations cover fluids from water, other beverages and food. About 20% of daily fluid intake usually comes from food and the rest from drinks.

Other studies suggest about 6 - 8 glasses (8 oz) of just water per day. Also, except for the morning flush where you should have 1-2 glasses, water is better assimilated in smaller quantities more often; in other words, it’s better to sip throughout the day rather than wait for hours then drink a lot in one go.

How do you know you might need more water?

Here are 5 tell-tale signs:

1. Dryness: dry lips, skin, eyes, and hair

2. Inflammation: skin rashes and burns, clogged pores leading to acne, red eyes

3. Urine color: your pee is dark yellow instead of light yellow (or clear)

4. Constipation: if you don’t have a bowel movement for 1 full day or longer

5. Sweat: little to no sweat when exercising or in a hot environment

6. Symptoms: such as fatigue, dizziness, and confusion

Timing – the best time to drink more water is first thing in the morning. This flushes the system after a long night. On the other hand, because water dilutes digestive juices, drink no more than a ½ cup within 15 minutes before a meal or no more than ½ cup within 60-90 minutes after a meal.

Electrolytes – Bio-science has confirmed that hydration is more effective when you take electrolytes with the water. That is to say, your body will absorb more water and benefit from it better when you make it more bio-available this way.

Here are some ways to increase the bio-availability of water:

○ Take a pinch of salt with every glass you drink (approx 1/8 tsp per pint). Note that putting salt in your meal is not the same as having it with your drinking water. You can also just take a pinch and wash it down rather than mixing it in. If your stomach is a little uneasy with this at first, then drink the water more slowly. Moderate this if you’re on a low-salt diet… these other additives can help.

○ Add drops of a mineral concentrate such as:

▪ Basic/alkaline: sodium chloride, potassium, calcium, and magnesium ( Note: never drink alkaline water after eating as it neutralizes stomach acid and prevents digestion)

▪ CELL FOOD, by NuScience

▪ ConcenTrace, trace mineral drops (this gives additional benefits of mineralizing your body for improved healing)

○ There are other electrolyte drinks, but beware of those with added sugars or worse, artificial sweeteners

○ Add a few drops of peppermint essence or lemon juice

Temperature – modern tastes, especially American, prefer ice-cold water. This puts a strain on your body because it’s much colder than your internal temperature and requires your body to expend extra energy to warm it. This matter is made worse if you drink the cold water just before a meal because the cold water also paralyses your stomach, which is not what you want just before putting food into it. After a meal, your body uses heat along with gastric juices to help digest the food; therefore, cooling it down with a glass of ice-water demands extra energy and hinders digestion – something you do not want. So at least room temperature or even warmer. In Traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic Medicines, warm/hot water is always preferred because it imparts more energy to your body. Also keep in mind that sipping warm/hot liquids is helps prevent cold/flu as it maintains your internal body temperature.

Quality –don’t trust your tap water unless you are sure it’s from a pure source. There are very few places in the world where municipal water is wholesome. So if you don’t already have a water filter, get one now. Much is written on how to best purify water, so to quickly sum it up:

Water distillers

○ They take out all minerals from tap water (you need all the minerals you can get) and makes the water acidic. Tip: you want to eat and drink as much alkaline foods as possible. Read more about this in the Alkalizing and blood (re) building section. If you choose to drink this, then be sure to re-mineralize it or extended usage could be depleting.

Reverse osmosis

○ They also take out most (of the few remaining) minerals and although not as bad as distillation, will make the water acidic. The reverse osmosis process wastes about 2x the amount of water that you actually can drink.

Bottled water

○ Besides polluting the environment with plastic bottles and often having poor quality standards, poisonous dioxins from the plastic bottle often leach into this water. This is especially the case where a bottle of water is left in a hot place like inside a car, in the sunlight, or washing the bottle in hot-soapy water for reuse will also trigger this dioxin release.

Water softeners

○ Water that has been softened (treated to replace the calcium and magnesium with sodium) is not fit to drink as it’s too high in refined sodium.

Well or fresh spring water

○ Lucky you if you can get this! Just be sure there is no run-off from any nearby farming chemicals.

Water filters

○ A good quality water filter is probably the easiest, cheapest, and best quality water you can get. There are many filters on the market, so here’s one of the best that I have already tested, use, and recommend:

Chlorine from the shower and bath

While we’re on this topic, you should also consider getting a shower filter to remove all chlorine from your shower water. Why? The chlorine that your lungs absorb from taking a single shower will give you as much chlorine as if you had just drunk 8 glasses of water, which then adds to the toxic load on your body. Also, chlorine rapidly dries and ages your skin.

Salt

This is a very important – and widely misunderstood topic. It’s also a big topic, so here’s the summary version. People with high blood pressure are concerned about salt increasing this problem. Note that unrefined is much better at alkalizing and produces less blood pressure increase than common refined table salt. If you find that even these better quality salts trouble your blood pressure, than one can increase potassium, which will naturally lower the pressure.

Table salt – which is also what they use in most processed foods – has been ravaged in multiple refinery processes that remove useful trace minerals and then adulterated with toxic substances like bleach to whiten it, sugar to stabilize the added Iodine and as anti-caking chemical, moisture absorbents, Aluminum...
