Eggs contain several nutrients that aid in tissue recovery. Egg yolk boasts high levels of zinc, while the egg white contains amino acids necessary for tissue rebuilding. Zinc is a critical component of healing as it aids in cell division and maintenance of mucous membranes. The body must create new tissue, necessitating the consumption of zinc in the diet to heal an injury. This mineral is also responsible for maintenance of healthy immune function, helping to ward off infection that may result from bodily trauma.
