After a rib fracture in the elderly, calcium and vitamins can be properly supplemented, such as eating more milk, eggs, fruits, vegetables, fish, shrimp and nuts, which are richer in calcium or vitamins and are beneficial for fracture recovery. However, a balanced diet should still be emphasized. Families often think that bone broth is good for fracture recovery, so they give the elderly a lot of bone broth, but this is a misconception. The fracture patients should pay attention to a light diet and less spicy food. For the elderly, the recovery rate after the fracture is already slow and requires rest and less activity, which makes it easy to have constipation, so it is recommended to eat easy-to-digest food, you can also let the patient eat the right amount of bananas, honey, etc.
