The wound on my leg has not healed yet

It is said that the legs are the first part of a person to age. In fact, the legs are not only the most important part of the human body, but also the part most prone to various injuries. Some people may be injured for various reasons, and because the legs involve a lot of movement, wounds heal easily once they occur. If a wound does not heal, it will naturally have a great impact on a person's quality of life, physical health and other aspects. So why does the wound on the leg not heal? How to promote wound healing?

Foods such as bananas, taro, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, eggplants, peanuts, mangoes, bananas, taro, duck meat, etc. should be avoided after an injury.

Foods that are good for wound healing

Zinc: Zinc deficiency can reduce the function of fibroblasts. Zinc is mainly found in foods such as fungus, kelp, pig skin, and pig's trotters.
