Good nutrition is important before surgery

¦ I am due to have knee surgery next month. What protocol would you advise to help with the recovery?

>> Now is time to start preparing your body for your surgery, and to make a difference to its outcome.

Be in as good a shape as you can before the operation. If your knee prevents you from walking and cycling, then swimming or gentle water exercises are more manageable — consult a physiotherapist for tips.
