Food suitable for eating after fracture

1, high-energy and high-protein diet

A high-energy, high-protein diet helps to restore vitality. But eat it two weeks after the fracture. In the early stage of fracture, a light diet is appropriate.

2, vitamin D.

If you have been recuperating indoors after the fracture and can't get sunshine, you will easily lack vitamin D, so you should eat more foods rich in vitamin D after the fracture (such as fish, liver, egg yolk, etc.). ) and get as much sunshine as possible.

3, vitamin C.

Fruits rich in vitamin C include hawthorn, fresh jujube, kiwi fruit, strawberry, longan, litchi and citrus. And vegetables are Huang San leaves (grass heads), peppers, sweet peppers, rape blossoms, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts (soup), bitter gourd, watercress, cauliflower and amaranth.

4. Water

After fracture, it is easy to cause constipation because of sedentary. Drink plenty of water at this time to ensure smooth intestines.

Misunderstanding of diet after fracture

1, eat meat and bones after fracture

Many people believe that eating more meat and bones after fracture can promote the early healing of bones. However, new scientific research believes that eating more meat and bones for fracture patients can not promote the early healing of fractures, but will slow down the healing of fractures. The reason is that bone regeneration after injury mainly depends on the action of periosteum and bone marrow. Periosteum and bone marrow can only play a better role when bone collagen increases. The ingredients of meat and bone soup are mainly calcium and phosphorus. If you take a lot of calcium and phosphorus after fracture, it will increase the inorganic components in bone, lead to the imbalance of organic matter and inorganic components in bone, and hinder the early healing of fracture. Therefore, patients with fracture should not use bone soup to supplement calcium in the early stage, but should eat more foods that can be converted into organic collagen, such as pigskin jelly, milk, bean products, fresh vegetables and fruits.

Step 2 supplement calcium

Calcium is an important raw material for bones. Some people think that calcium supplementation after fracture can accelerate fracture healing. However, scientific research has found that increasing calcium intake can not accelerate fracture healing, and there is a potential danger of increasing blood calcium and decreasing blood phosphorus for fracture patients who have been in bed for a long time. This is the result of long-term bed rest, on the one hand, it inhibits the absorption and utilization of calcium, on the other hand, it increases the reabsorption of calcium by renal tubules.

Therefore, for patients with fractures, there is no calcium deficiency in the body. As long as we strengthen functional exercise and exercise as soon as possible according to the condition and the doctor's instructions, we can promote the absorption and utilization of calcium by bones and accelerate the healing of fractures. Especially for patients lying in bed after fracture, blindly supplementing calcium is not only useless, but also harmful.
