Some obstacles that occur with surgery recovery/ After Surgery Care in Calabasas

The period of time after a major surgery is not a time to try to drop the pounds. Serious side effects of surgery may leave alterations in your body that inhibit the ability to consume nutritious, healing foods. A-1 Home Care has trained our caregivers to watch out for these common food related mishaps:

After surgery, drugs, fatigue and complications can make eating unappealing. The mouth and throat can be sore or dry, medicine can make food taste metallic, and even the sense of smell can be diminished. In these circumstances, it’s best to experiment to see what’s the most palatable. Also, serve small portions throughout the day. Standard portions can seem overwhelming to someone who has to muster the strength just to chew.

Live In Care in Calabasas

Of the 27 million people in the United States with Arthritis, many are taking vitamin D supplements to treat pain and control the spread of the disease. However, an article by the New York Times suggests that vitamin D is not effective in reducing arthritis related pain or restoring cartilage. This is unfortunate news for an incurable condition with few options for treatments.

The study observed 146 men and women with painful knee arthritis who were assigned to take Vitamin D supplements or placebos. Though knee pain lessened slightly for both groups, there were no differences in bone density or cartilage lost.
