Question

Hello, what should we eat for burns?

Answer

In the early stages of a burn, the wound requires proper treatment. It needs regular disinfection and anti-infection therapy. For third-degree burns, scarring or skin grafting may be necessary. In terms of diet, it’s important to enhance nutrition by choosing high-protein foods such as meat, eggs, and dairy products, and eating light foods while avoiding spicy and stimulating foods. Particularly, black foods should not be consumed, such as soy sauce, as it can cause melanin to sediment, making it difficult to eliminate scars.
