A fracture is an injury in which the bone is partially or completely broken due to a strong external force, etc. Due to the high external force at the moment of injury, the fracture is often accompanied by varying degrees of local soft tissue damage. Therefore, the main clinical manifestations are: local pain and pressure at the fracture site, local soft tissue swelling and subcutaneous ecchymosis, limb deformity and abnormal movement. Bone is the only tissue in the body that has the potential for complete regeneration and repair after injury, but the repair process is very slow and requires a large amount of nutrient supplementation. As the saying goes, it takes 100 days to break a bone, so what do fracture patients eat to get better fast? The exceptionally hard bones are mainly made up of organic and inorganic substances, and the largest proportion of inorganic substances is calcium, so people think of fracture patients to make up more calcium to speed up the healing, so bone soup has become the first choice of many families of fracture victims. In fact, the ingredients in bone broth are mainly pig bones or cow bones, which contain a lot of calcium, but the calcium inside the bones is in a combined state, and it is impossible to change the crystalline calcium into a free state by ordinary cooking methods, so no matter how long it is boiled or cooked, the calcium inside the soup is still minimal, and there is only some collagen-like material, so bone broth is not a calcium supplement. At the same time, there are a lot of oily substances in bone broth that are free from the bone marrow, so patients often suppress their appetite after drinking it and cannot eat other foods, which seriously affects the balanced intake of nutrients. Therefore, giving bone broth to fracture patients is often counterproductive to the healing of fractures. What should a patient eat after a fracture? Some fracture patients have experienced trauma or surgical blows, and many fracture patients need to be bedridden for a long period of time, avoiding exercise and disrupting their original rhythm of life, often losing their appetite and not wanting to eat. Elderly patients, those with weaker constitution or poor psychological tolerance are more prone to this. Therefore, on top of psychological care, more efforts should be made on diet. The core points should be a balanced diet and nutritional enrichment. Post-trauma or post-surgery physical exertion requires rich nutritional support, and the healing of fractures and tissue repair also require a balanced diet. The five types of nutrients required by the human body, protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals, should all be consumed, with special attention to increasing protein intake. The specific food should be nutritious, with good color, aroma and taste, stimulating appetite and easy to digest and absorb. The repair of trauma requires abundant protein, so if you have a good appetite, you should eat high-energy, high-protein meals. Specifically, you should eat more foods that can be converted into organic bone glue, such as lean meat, fish, eggs, milk, legumes and fresh vegetables. Collagen, calcium, phosphorus, and vitamins C and D are all osteogenic elements, so it is important to focus on replenishing these substances after a fracture, especially in the elderly. Fruits rich in vitamin C include hawthorn, fresh dates, kiwi, strawberries, cinnamon, lychee, citrus, etc. Vegetables include yellow flowers, alfalfa, peppers, bell peppers, rape shoots, cauliflower, kale, bitter gourd, bean sprouts, green cauliflower, green amaranth, etc., which can promote bone scab growth and wound healing. Vitamin D supplementation can be done by eating more fish, liver, egg yolk, etc. and getting as much sunlight as possible. Foods rich in copper, zinc and iron include lean meat, liver, shrimp and soy products. Calcium supplementation is also indispensable, such as shrimp, sesame paste, soy products, dairy products, etc. What can not eat or eat less after the fracture patients? In addition to bone broth, avoid foods that are not easy to digest, such as yams, glutinous rice and too spicy food. Although calcium is an important component of bones, excessive calcium supplementation is not beneficial to the treatment of fractures, but may cause an increase in blood calcium. Patients with fractures who are not deficient in calcium should not blindly take calcium supplements as long as they strengthen their functional exercises to promote the absorption of calcium and accelerate the healing of broken bones. Also avoid excessive consumption of sugar and herbal preparations with vasoconstrictive effects, such as Panax ginseng. It is worth mentioning that smoking can significantly inhibit fracture healing.
