What is good to eat after a fracture?

  In order to promote fracture healing, the diet of fracture patients can be based on the early, middle and late stages of fracture healing with different foods according to the development of the disease to promote hematoma absorption or bone scab production.   In the early stage (1-2 weeks), the injured area is swollen with blood stasis, the meridians are blocked, and the qi and blood are blocked, so the main treatment in this stage is to activate blood circulation, remove blood stasis, and move the qi and dissipate. According to Chinese medicine, if the blood stasis does not go away, the bone cannot be born” and “if the blood stasis goes away, the new bone is born”. It can be seen that eliminating swelling and dispersing stasis is the first priority for fracture healing. In principle, the diet should be light, such as vegetables, eggs, soy products, fruits, fish soup, lean meat, etc. Avoid eating spicy, hot, sour and greasy food, especially fatty and tonic products, such as bone soup, fatty chicken, fish stew, etc. Otherwise, the stagnation of blood stagnation will be difficult to dissipate, which will delay the course of the disease, delay the growth of bone scabs and affect the recovery of joint function in the future. At this stage, the dietary therapy can be 10 grams of Panax ginseng, 10 grams of Angelica sinensis and 1 pigeon, stewed and cooked, with meat and soup together, once a day for 7-10 days.  In the middle stage (2-4 weeks), the stasis is partially absorbed, and the treatment in this stage is based on harmonizing the camp and relieving pain, eliminating stasis and creating new ones, and connecting bones and tendons. The diet is changed from light to highly nutritious to meet the needs of bone scab growth. Bone broth, chicken and animal liver can be added to the initial recipes to supplement more vitamin A, D, calcium and protein. Food therapy can be used 10 grams of angelica, 15 grams of bone fragments, 10 grams of sequestra, 250 grams of fresh pork chops or beef ribs, stewed for more than 1 hour, soup and meat together, and used for 2 weeks.  Late stage (more than 5 weeks) After 5 weeks of injury, the bruises and swelling of the fracture part are basically absorbed and bone scabs have already started to grow, which is the late stage of fracture. It is advisable to treat the fracture by tonifying the liver, kidneys, qi and blood to promote stronger bone scabs, as well as to relax the tendons and activate the joints adjacent to the fracture so that the joints can move freely and regain their former functions. Diet can be released from the taboo, recipes can be accompanied by old hen soup, pig bone soup, sheep bone soup, stewed water fish, etc. Those who can drink wine can use Duzhong bone tonic wine, chicken blood vine wine, tiger bone papaya wine, etc. Food therapy can be used wolfberry 10 grams, 15 grams of bone crushed tonic, 10 grams of sequelae, 50 grams of coic rice. Decoct the dregs of the bone crushed tonic and sequestra first, then add the other two flavors together to cook the porridge and eat. Take the congee once a day for 7 days, with an interval of 3-5 days after each course of treatment, for a total of 3-4 courses of treatment.
