Abstract
People who have injured themselves most of the time go to the hospital. Doctors are seen who have gone to medical school and been encouraged to prescribe pills, and that is the totality of the event. No one speaks about the proper nutrition and how that encourages a shorter healing period. In turn many people do not seem to realize the vital role nutrition plays in recovery. The significance of nutrition is so important that not only should nutrients be considered for the injured, but for anyone who wants to fight muscle degeneration which comes with age and/or inactivity. Really, that includes everyone. After considering this idea you are thinking I am willing to eat healthily, but I am lost as what to incorporate into my diet. This paper asks the question of what nutrition can benefit the human body during recovery? With secondary data from ten sources, I was exposed to evidence that suggested substances I did not consider, and reasons to use them I never thought of. I had an idea of what to consume as part of my diet, and that helps keep the body in good condition. I take protein, a cocktail of vitamins and a variety of other supplements. When I embarked on the search to answer the question of what nutrition can benefit the human body during recovery, I was surprised and immediately wanted to gain these compounds. The answers to this research question not only included protein powder, but one article suggested it should be meat protein, while another article suggested taking it throughout the day. Other nutrition supplements mentioned included Creatine Monohydrate, Vitamin D, and Omega 3. These findings have significant importance because they give the tools to individuals to improve their health. Then the question becomes why doctors do not incorporate this into a patient's recovery plan?
