There are many medical procedures that we may have to go through in life. Some of these can be simple procedures such as setting a bone or doing some type of cosmetic surgery. For others there may be more complicated procedures such as Advanced Laparoscopic surgery. No matter what procedure you are going to go through there are a few things that you should look at before going under the knife.
Sleep
Sleep is the key ingredient to our health. When we are able to sleep our bodies are given time to divert resources to healing illnesses and injuries. If we are unable to get sleep or the sleep we do get is interrupted or faulty in some way, then our bodies are unable to heal and correct errors.
Diet
It is vital that we have enough food in our systems so that our bodies have the tools and resources needed to help the healing process. When it comes to eating however, you will want to stop eating twenty-four hour to twelve hours before your surgery. You will also want to eat healthy foods and foods that don’t take a lot of time to digest. You want to make sure that you get all of the benefits from what you eat before a surgical procedure and your body is able to run fully while the procedures are being performed.
Hydration
You will want to make sure that you drink plenty of water before your procedures. Water will help hydrate your body and keep your kidneys and other organs strong. Don’t drink soda, alcohol or juices before a surgery. These will contain other compounds that could be harmful or result in your body not functioning properly in its greatest time of need.
Talk to your doctor about your specific requirements before a surgical procedure. Make sure that you follow them completely.
