Bumps and bruises are inevitable in our lives, so wounds are still very common in life. No matter whether it is a big wound or a small wound, everyone hopes that it can heal as soon as possible.

How to treat wounds and make them heal faster has become an important part of clinical nursing work. A wound is a disruption in the function and integrity of tissue in the body, and wound healing is a complex process of repair. There are many factors that must be present for wound healing to occur. If these factors are not adequate, healing will be delayed or impaired. How to treat wounds and make them heal faster has become an important part of clinical nursing work.

Wound healing is the result of the interaction of multiple cells and molecules. The process is divided into several stages and is constantly changing. Understanding this process and the physiological knowledge of wound healing will help medical staff develop and implement comprehensive wound care and wound dressing plans for different individuals and different wounds, eliminate factors that may cause wound non-healing, make full use of available resources and mobilize the patient's potential to participate in the wound healing process, which will play a positive role in promoting wound healing. In simple terms, wound healing is about fighting against some of the factors that cause the wound to not heal. If the factors that may cause the wound to not heal are eliminated, the wound will naturally heal more easily.

In addition to wound care and wound dressing, a healthy diet is also crucial for wound healing. Preparing some protein-rich foods at home will undoubtedly help the wound heal quickly and is also a warm care for the injured. Here are five foods that can promote wound healing:
