Piercing tips: Foods to avoid when newly pierced
After getting an ear piercing, most people wonder what to avoid after getting an ear piercing. After getting an ear piercing, we should avoid eating the following foods to avoid infection and pus such as:
Sticky rice
Newly pierced people should avoid foods made from sticky rice such as sticky rice, banh khuc, mochi, banh giay, etc., during the time the wound heals. Because according to Oriental medicine, the ingredients in sticky rice will cause the wound to accumulate toxins, swell and gradually appear pus. Thereby, it can cause infection and the wound healing time will also be longer than normal.
Seafood
Seafood contains a lot of protein and vitamins that are good for the human body. However, it is not good for people who have just had their ears pierced, because seafood can cause allergies and make the piercing site inflamed, swollen, and painful.
Spinach
Water spinach has the ability to stimulate the growth of epithelial tissue and skin at the wound site after piercing. Therefore, after piercing your ears, you should avoid eating water spinach to prevent scarring during the wound healing process.
Beef
The amount of protein in beef can promote the growth of cells in the skin and mucous membranes and cause the wound at the damaged site to become discolored. Therefore, you should not eat beef after getting a piercing.
Egg whites
Egg whites are also something you should avoid after getting your ears pierced. Because egg whites have a much higher protein content, they have the ability to regenerate collagen and melanin pigments, which can not only cause your wound to scar but also cause an unsightly appearance.
Foods containing stimulants
Some foods contain stimulants such as beer, alcohol, cigarettes, coffee, sugar, chocolate, etc., which will make your body sensitive and vulnerable. Not to mention these substances also damage the stomach and intestines, so you should limit the use of stimulants after piercing your ears.
Chicken
Chicken contains protein, which is good for your health, but it can make your open wound itchy and infected. So this is a food you should avoid eating after piercing.
Foods high in sugar
Foods high in sugar or refined carbohydrates have the effect of breaking down the two structures of collagen and elastin (substances that help regenerate skin structure), causing wounds to not only take a long time to heal but also cause inflammation and scarring.
Foods high in Nitrates
Processed fast foods such as sausages, bacon, etc., often contain a lot of Nitrate, which will damage your body, leading to a longer lasting effect.
