It depends on the specific situation

In order to promote fracture healing faster and better, patients with fractures should also eat different foods according to the early, middle and late stages of fracture healing and the development of the disease, so as to promote hematoma absorption and callus formation.

Early stage (1 to 2 weeks): At this time, the injured area is obviously swollen and painful, the meridians are blocked, and the flow of qi and blood is not smooth. The treatment during this period is mainly to promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, and promote qi and reduce swelling. The diet should be light, and it is advisable to eat more vegetables, eggs, soy products, fruits, fish soup, lean meat, etc. Avoid spicy, sour, dry, hot, and greasy foods, especially fatty and nourishing foods such as bone soup, fat chicken, beef and mutton too early. Otherwise, it may cause blood stasis that is difficult to dissipate, slow the growth of bone callus, and affect the recovery of joint function in the future.

Recommended diet therapy - peach kernel porridge: take 15 grams of peach kernels and an appropriate amount of brown sugar, mash the peach kernels, soak them in water and grind them into juice to remove the residue, add brown sugar, glutinous rice, 400 ml of water, and cook them together into porridge. Eat it twice a day for 7 to 10 days. It has the effects of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, reducing swelling and relieving pain.

In the middle stage (2 to 4 weeks), the swelling at the fracture site is reduced, but the bruise has not yet completely healed, and callus begins to form. The treatment should focus on harmonizing the blood circulation, relieving pain, removing blood stasis, promoting new growth, and connecting bones and tendons. The diet should be changed from light to appropriate high-nutrition supplements. Bone soup, Panax notoginseng chicken, etc. can be added to the initial diet to supplement more vitamins A, D, calcium and protein.
