Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Include protein-rich foods such as yoghurt, 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 diets such as potatoes, beans and rice as glucose in carbohydrates is essential for healing.
  • Eat foods rich in quercetin (a flavonoid) such as apples, cherry, broccoli, spinach and blueberries.
  • Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and avoid drinking sugary beverages.
  • Always wear full clothes or use sun protection before going under the sun, it will protect your skin from sun damage.
  • Do not use harsh products on your skin as it damages your skin. 
  • Keep your skin moisturized to avoid dry skin.
