Whenever I get injured it takes me quite awhile to heal.

Cat scratches that used to heal in 2 days now take as much as 10 for example.

I'm guessing it's my shit diet, what foods should I be eating to promote healing?

Well, what's your current diet?

It's a side effect of getting old. There's no fix for it.

Various TV dinners, burgers, pasta, eggs, toast, canned soups.

Even my mother heals faster than me, I'm only mid 20s.

Cut these out and increase burger consumption. The only acceptable tv dinners are hungry man and kids cuisine

That doesn't sound good. You might want to get a blood test to make sure you don't have anemia, or something more serious like leukemia.

I got a check up a few months ago, I'm fine whcih shocked me.

Not even high cholesterol.

I'm sedentary(desk job) and eat like shit, I can only guess that's why I heal slow.

are you joking?
are you poor?
is this bait?

you need veg, dude. eat an apple every day. have fresh carrots and berries every day. eat leafy greens like spinach, kale, collards.

Assuming it's not some sort of disease, typically youd wanna up protein intake.
When you say 10 days to heal do you mean to stop bleeding, or like you'll have a scab for 10 days or what?

>> No.10111073

>>10111061
I figured my poor intake of vegetables was to blame, but I'm not sure how much that affects the healing process.

I do eat a little bit everyday, in what's in my TV dinner or soup.

Practically nothing in comparison to people healthier.

Cat scratches stick around as long as 10 days until completely undetectable, aka no more scab.

Shit used to heal in 2.

Ah ok, then i would say it could be a protein deficiency (unlikely since you say you eat eggs), vitamin A or vitamin C deficiency.
I would do some research and be more conscious about what you eat and what kind of nutrients you actually get in your diet, you know, read labels etc.

This can be a symptom of diabetes.

You may want to start cutting down on sugar in your diet.

I concur. Slow healing is one of many early warning signs. You may not be diabetic. It might be that your cat has been working out.

>sedentary
This is compounding it on top of your shitty diet. Pretty much every study on the subject shows that active people heal faster than sedentary people.
Aside from cleaning up your diet, get some exercise. Even if it's just a walk around the neighborhood.

Serious answer is get your blood glucose tested. The sedentary lifestyle, poor diet and slow healing?

That's a sign of the diabetes my dude.

Doesn't the body release some sort of chemical that causes your body to heal quicker when you're cuddling? Can't remember what it's called
