Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Include protein-rich foods such as yogurt, chicken, and eggs in your diet as there is a loss of protein through burn wounds and the breakdown of muscles to produce extra energy for the healing process. The additional protein is required to rebuild lost muscle. 
  • Add more carbohydrates to your diet, such as potatoes, beans, and rice, as glucose in carbohydrates is essential for healing.
  • Eat foods rich in quercetin (a flavonoid) such as apples, cherries, broccoli, spinach, and blueberries.
  • Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and avoid drinking sugary beverages.
