Suitable food to eat after fracture

1, high-energy and high-protein diet

A high-energy, high-protein diet helps to restore vitality. But it should be eaten after 2 weeks of fracture. At the beginning of fracture, it is advisable to have a light diet.

2, vitamin D.

If you have been recuperating indoors after a fracture and can't get the sun, it is easy to lack vitamin D. Therefore, after the fracture, you should eat more foods rich in vitamin D (such as fish, liver, egg yolk, etc.) and get as much sun as possible.

3, vitamin C.

Fruits rich in vitamin C include hawthorn, fresh jujube, kiwi fruit, strawberry, longan, litchi, citrus, etc., while vegetables include yellow clover (grass head), hot pepper, sweet pepper, oil flowering cabbage, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts (soup), bitter gourd, watercress, green cauliflower and green amaranth.

4. Water

After fracture, it is easy to cause constipation because of sedentary. At this time, you should drink more water to ensure the smooth intestine.

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 make the healing speed of fractures slower. The reason is that bone regeneration after injury mainly depends on the role of periosteum and bone marrow. Periosteum and bone marrow can only play a better role under the condition of increasing bone collagen. The ingredients of Rougutou Decoction are mainly calcium and phosphorus. If a large amount of calcium and phosphorus are ingested after fracture, the inorganic components in bone will increase, which will lead to the imbalance of organic matter and inorganic components in bone and hinder the early healing of broken bone. Therefore, patients with fracture should not take meat and 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.

2. Calcium supplementation

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

Therefore, for fracture patients, there is no shortage of calcium in the body. As long as we strengthen functional exercise and exercise as soon as possible according to the condition and according to the doctor's instructions, we can promote the absorption and utilization of calcium by bones and accelerate the healing of broken bones. Especially for patients in bed after fracture, blindly supplementing calcium is not beneficial and may be harmful.
