Diet for patients with fractures

In daily life, fractures are easy to occur if you are not careful. Fractures bring great pain to patients and their families. In addition to going to the hospital for regular treatment after a fracture, the diet of patients with fractures is also very important. Patients with fractures cannot eat many foods, such as shrimp, leeks, toon, etc. Eating it will slow down wound healing and even cause inflammation and suppuration, causing secondary damage to patients with fractures.

There are also many foods that can help fracture patients heal their wounds faster after eating them. This requires the family members of fracture patients to learn more about this aspect, take good care of the patients' diet, and make the fractures heal as soon as possible, so as to contribute to the family and society.

The dietary principle is to be light, such as vegetables, eggs, soy products, fruits, fish soup, lean meat sauce, etc. Three to four weeks after the injury, most of the blood stasis is absorbed and the fracture is in the middle stage of recovery. Treatment should be harmonious, focusing on harmonizing the blood circulation to relieve pain, removing blood stasis, promoting new blood, and connecting bones and tendons. The diet is changed from light to appropriate high-nutrition supplements to meet the needs of callus growth, supplementing vitamins A, D, calcium and protein. Six to eight weeks after injury. The swelling caused by the fracture has been basically absorbed and callus has formed. Treatment should be tonic, by nourishing the liver and kidneys, qi and blood, to promote the formation of a firm callus, as well as relaxing the muscles and tendons to allow the adjacent joints to move freely and flexibly and restore their previous functions. Dietary restrictions can be lifted and high-nutrition food can be given as tonic. Those who can drink can be given Eucommia ulmoides and Drynaria fortunei wine, tiger bone and papaya wine. Diet is only to cooperate with treatment. Grasping the principle that light food is suitable in the early stage of fracture, support in the middle stage, and tonic in the late stage, and choosing appropriate food will have a positive effect on promoting fracture healing.

In addition to paying more attention to diet, patients with fractures should also exercise more. Since the recovery period for patients with fractures is relatively long, as the saying goes, it takes 150 days to heal a broken bone, which is five months. This requires the family members of the fracture patient to have enough patience and take good care of the fracture patient's diet so that the fracture patient can recover as soon as possible.
