Salmon

Salmon contains protein, B vitamins, selenium, iron, zinc, and omega-3 fatty acids. Furthermore, studies reveal that when taken as a supplement, its omega-3 fats may boost wound healing, improve immunological response, and reduce inflammation.

Furthermore, 3 ounces (85 grams) of wild-caught salmon provides more than 70% of your daily selenium needs, a mineral that controls inflammation and immunological response. Although eating salmon is probably safe, you should see your doctor before taking fish oil supplements or after surgery. Although recent evidence suggests that these supplements do not raise the risk of bleeding, some surgeons still advise against using fish oil.
