Dietary adjustment for patients with fractures. Most patients with fractures often have a loss of appetite and do not want to eat. Elderly patients, people with weak constitution or poor mental endurance are more likely to develop, especially in the short period after injury or surgery. On the basis of psychological care, more efforts should be made in diet. Make it rich in nutrients, with good color, aroma and taste, and can stimulate appetite. Those who have difficulty moving their arms need to be fed. Eat more peppers, tomatoes, amaranth, green vegetables, cabbage, radish and other vegetables rich in vitamin C to promote callus growth and wound healing.

It’s a fracture. According to research, patients with fractures may need to supplement trace elements such as zinc, iron, and manganese. Animal livers, seafood, soybeans, sunflower seeds, and mushrooms contain more zinc; animal livers, eggs, beans, green leafy vegetables, wheat, and bread contain more iron; oatmeal, mustard greens, egg yolks, and cheese contain more manganese. One thing is certain, the elderly who suffer fractures due to osteoporosis must actively supplement calcium and vitamin D to assist absorption while treating fractures. Fracture patients often have constipation, and it is more common in bedridden patients. It is advisable to eat more vegetables containing more fiber, and eat bananas, honey and other foods that promote defecation. If necessary, take laxative drugs, such as 6-9 grams of Maren Pills, once or twice a day; or 20-30 ml of liquid paraffin, once a night. Bedridden patients are prone to urinary tract infections and urinary tract stones, so they should drink plenty of water to diuretic. Fracture patients have no special restrictions on their diet, except that they should not smoke. Smoking can affect fracture healing. Through X-ray monitoring, we learned about the growth of new bone in fracture patients after surgery. It was found that it took an average of 2.98 months for smokers to grow 1 cm of new bone, while it only took 2.32 months for non-smokers and about 2.32 months for quitters. 72 months.

Used for bone fractures. Taboo foods (1) Avoid blindly supplementing calcium. Calcium is an important raw material for forming bones. Some people think that supplementing more calcium after a fracture can speed up the healing of the broken bone. However, scientific research has found that increasing calcium intake does not accelerate the healing of broken bones. For fracture patients who have been bedridden for a long time, there is a potential risk of causing an increase in blood calcium, accompanied by a decrease in blood phosphorus. This is due to long-term bed rest, which on the one hand inhibits the absorption and utilization of calcium, and on the other hand increases the reabsorption of calcium by the renal tubules. Therefore, for patients with fractures, there is no lack of calcium in the body. As long as they strengthen functional exercises and move as early as possible according to the condition and the doctor's instructions, they can promote the absorption and utilization of calcium by the bones and accelerate the healing of the broken bones. Especially for patients who are bedridden after a fracture, blindly supplementing calcium is of no benefit and may even be harmful. (2) Avoid eating more meat and bones. Some people believe that eating more meat and bones after a fracture can help the fracture heal early. In fact, this is not the case. Modern medicine has proven through many practices that patients with fractures who eat more meat and bones will not only fail to heal early, but will delay the healing time of the fracture. The reason is that the regeneration of bones after injury mainly relies on the functions of periosteum and bone marrow. Periosteum and bone marrow can only function better under the condition of increasing collagen, and the main component of meat bones is phosphorus. and calcium. If consumed in large amounts after a fracture, it will increase the inorganic content of the bone and lead to an imbalance in the proportion of organic matter in the bone. Therefore, it will hinder the early healing of the fracture. But fresh meat and bone soup is delicious and can stimulate appetite, so there is no harm in eating less. (3) Avoid patients with partial eclipse and fractures, which are often accompanied by local edema, congestion, bleeding, muscle tissue damage, etc. The body itself has the ability to resist repair, while the body repairs tissues, grows muscle in long bones, forms bone callus, removes blood stasis and reduces swelling. The raw materials are based on various nutrients. It can be seen that the key to ensuring smooth healing of fractures is nutrition. (4) Avoid indigestible food. Fracture patients often have a loss of appetite and suffer from constipation due to limited mobility due to plaster or splint fixation, swelling and pain at the injury site, and mental anxiety. Therefore, the food must be nutritious and easy to digest and laxative. Avoid eating potatoes, taro, glutinous rice and other foods that are prone to flatulence or are indigestible. It is better to eat more fruits and vegetables.

(5) Avoid drinking less water. Patients with fractures in bed, especially those with fractures of the spine, pelvis and lower limbs, have difficulty moving. Therefore, they should drink as little water as possible to reduce the frequency of urination. Although the frequency of urination is reduced, greater trouble will also occur. . For example, bedridden patients have less activity, weakened intestinal peristalsis, and reduced drinking water, which can easily lead to constipation. Long-term bed rest and urinary retention can also easily induce urinary tract stones and urinary tract infections. Therefore, bedridden fracture patients can drink water if they want without any worries. (6) Avoid eating too much white sugar. Ingesting a large amount of white sugar will cause rapid metabolism of glucose, thereby producing metabolic intermediate substances, such as pyruvic acid, lactic acid, etc., causing the body to be in a state of acidosis. At this time, alkaline calcium, magnesium, sodium and other ions will be immediately mobilized to participate in neutralization to prevent the blood from becoming acidic. Such a large consumption of calcium will be detrimental to the recovery of fracture patients. At the same time, too much white sugar will also reduce the content of vitamin B1 in the body. This is because vitamin B1 is a necessary substance when sugar is converted into energy in the body. Insufficient vitamin B1 greatly reduces the activity of nerves and muscles, and also affects the recovery of functions. Therefore, patients with fractures should avoid eating too much sugar. (7) Avoid taking Panax notoginseng tablets for a long time. In the early stage of fracture, local internal bleeding, blood stasis, swelling and pain may occur. Taking Panax notoginseng tablets at this time can shrink local blood vessels, shorten coagulation time, and increase thrombin, which is very appropriate. However, after a week of recovery from the fracture, the bleeding has stopped and the damaged tissue begins to repair, and repair requires a large amount of blood supply. If you continue to take Panax notoginseng tablets, the local blood vessels will be in a state of contraction, and the blood will not flow smoothly, which is detrimental to fracture healing. . (8) It is forbidden to drink sherbet if you have a broken bone. Fractures are different from general skin and flesh injuries. Hard bones take a long time to heal, ranging from 1 month to more than half a year. After the position is fixed in the hospital, it is often necessary to continue recuperation and recovery at home. It is especially important to provide good home care and promote healing. "Food is the most important thing for the people", and the same is true for patients with fractures. Letting patients with fractures eat well is a very important aspect of home care. Although most fractures do not cause internal organ damage, due to trauma or surgery, rest all day, and reduced exercise, the original life pattern is disrupted, and the appetite may be poor, which is more obvious in a short period of time after the injury. Elderly patients and people with weak constitution or poor mental endurance are more likely to occur. On the basis of psychological care, more efforts should be made in the patient's diet pattern and preparation to ensure that the food is nutritious and has good color, aroma and taste to stimulate appetite. Those who have difficulty moving their arms need to be fed. Eat more tomatoes, amaranth, green vegetables, cabbage, carrots and other vegetables rich in vitamin C to promote the growth of fibrous callus and wound healing. Bones are extremely hard and are mainly composed of organic and inorganic substances. The largest proportion of inorganic substances is calcium. 99% of the calcium in the human body is concentrated in the bones. After an injury or fracture, people naturally think of letting the injured person eat more calcium to speed up healing. I don’t know since when, bone soup has become the best supplement for injured people with fractures. However, based on medical experience and experimental research, no evidence has been found that patients with fractures need additional calcium supplements. After a fracture, local blood circulation in the injured area is impaired, the tissue becomes acidic, and decalcification may occur at the fracture end. However, the released calcium is not transported away and excreted, but is dissolved in the surroundings. After the local traumatic inflammation returns to normal, it is deposited as the main material for repairing fractures. According to recent research results, patients with fractures need to supplement trace elements such as zinc, iron, and manganese. Some of these elements participate in the formation of enzymes in human metabolic activities, and some are raw materials for the synthesis of collagen and myoglobin. It has been determined that the serum concentrations of the above substances in patients after fractures decreased significantly. Therefore, appropriate supplementation in the early stages of fracture may be beneficial to healing. Animal livers, seafood, soybeans, sunflower seeds, and mushrooms contain more zinc; animal livers, eggs, beans, green leafy vegetables, and wheat flour contain more iron; oatmeal, mustard greens, egg yolks, and cheese contain more manganese. Patients with fractures can eat more. In addition, medications containing these substances can also be taken. In the early stage of fracture, due to worry and inactivity, qi stagnation and inability to move, constipation is common, and it is more common in bedridden patients. It is advisable to eat more vegetables containing more fiber, and eat some bananas, honey, etc. to promote defecation. Patients with fractures do not need to "taboo" and have no special restrictions on diet. But one thing that needs to be mentioned in particular is not to smoke.

The infamous cigarette has been linked to a host of illnesses, including heart disease and cancer, and can impair the ability of skin wounds to heal
