Which foods help promote healing?!


Question: Which foods help promote healing.?
I tore a ligament in my knee and want to do everything to speed up the healing process. Does anyone know which foods are best or even what else I can do to move my recovery along a little bit quicker. I am already resting, icing, and elevating it as well as keeping my knee in a wrap. I don't see a specialist till Monday.Health Question & Answer
