What is suitable for people with fractures and what is not suitable for them?

Bone growth needs: collagen, calcium, phosphorus and vitamins C and D, all of which are osteogenic elements, so it is important to supplement these substances after fracture, especially for the elderly.

1, high-energy and high-protein diet: it 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, you can't get sunshine, and it is easy to 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. The vegetables are alfalfa (grass head), pepper, sweet pepper, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts (soup), bitter gourd, watercress, cauliflower and green amaranth.

4, water: after the fracture, due to sedentary, it is easy to cause constipation. Drink plenty of water at this time to ensure smooth intestines.

Foods that can't be eaten:

1, bone soup: Many people think that bone soup can supplement calcium. In fact, calcium in bones cannot be directly absorbed by people. The main nutrition in bone soup is collagen. Eating more collagen is beneficial to fracture patients, but it is not advisable to eat more collagen within 1-2 weeks after fracture, because it is too greasy, which is easy to cause blood stasis and affect recovery.

2, calcium supplementation: Although calcium is an important component of bones, calcium supplementation is not good for the treatment of fractures, but may cause an increase in blood calcium. If fracture patients are not calcium deficient, as long as they strengthen functional exercise, they can promote the body's absorption of calcium and accelerate fracture healing, and should not blindly supplement calcium.

3, indigestible things: patients with fractures often lose appetite because of long-term rest at home, swelling and pain in the wound. If you eat too much nutritious and greasy food, it will not only upset your stomach, but also cause constipation. Therefore, after the fracture, you should eat more foods that are conducive to digestion and laxative, and avoid eating sweet potatoes, taro, glutinous rice and other foods that are prone to flatulence or indigestion.

4. Sugar: Excessive consumption of sugar after fracture will lead to a large loss of calcium, which is not conducive to the rehabilitation of fracture patients. Too much sugar will also reduce the content of vitamin B 1 in the body, while insufficient vitamin B 1 will greatly reduce the activity ability of nerves and muscles and affect the recovery of function.

5, Sanqi tablets: taking Sanqi tablets in the early stage of fracture can shrink local blood vessels and treat fracture bleeding. But after a week of fracture recovery, the bleeding has stopped, and the injured bone needs fresh blood supply to recover quickly. In this case, taking Sanqi tablets will cause blood vessels to contract all the time, which is not conducive to fracture healing.
