Wound healing and recovery from illness require high protein and vitamin C.Foods high in protein include animal products such as fish,chicken,beef,pork,seafood,lamb,eggs,cheese,and milk.Foods high in vitamin C include many fruits (cantaloupe,kiwi,oranges,papaya)and vegetables (spinach,brussels sprouts,and all colors of bell peppers).Whole-wheat bread,although a healthy choice,is not a good source of either protein or vitamin C.
