How Poor Nutrition Leads to Bedsores?
Many people do not connect food and nutrition to bedsore development, but the link is very direct. Skin needs protein, vitamins, and minerals to stay thick, elastic, and strong. When a bedridden patient is not eating well, the skin becomes thin and fragile over time. Fragile skin cannot withstand the pressure and friction that bedridden patients experience every day. Small amounts of pressure that healthy skin would handle easily become enough to damage malnourished skin. Protein, Vitamin C, and zinc are the three most important nutrients for skin resilience. Alongside good nutrition, using Cimidaxil D+ wound healing spray supports skin health externally and helps prevent early pressure sores from developing into open wounds.
