Dietary precautions for patients with fractures

should

1. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits.

2. Eat more vegetables rich in vitamin C, such as green peppers, tomatoes, amaranth, green vegetables, cabbage, and radish, to promote callus growth and wound healing.

3. Supplement trace elements such as zinc, iron, and manganese. Animal liver, seafood, soybeans, sunflower seeds, and mushrooms contain high levels of zinc; animal liver, eggs, beans, green leafy vegetables, and wheat flour contain high levels of iron; oatmeal, mustard greens, egg yolks, and cheese contain high levels of manganese.

avoid

(1) Avoid blindly supplementing calcium. For patients who are bedridden after a fracture, blindly supplementing calcium is of no benefit and may even be harmful.

(2) Avoid eating too much meat and bones. Some people believe that eating more meat and bones after a fracture can help the fracture heal earlier. In fact, this is not the case. Modern medicine has proved through many practices that if patients with fractures eat more meat and bones, it will not only fail to heal early, but will delay the healing time of the fracture.

(3) Avoid eating foods that may cause bloating or indigestion, such as sweet potatoes, taro, and glutinous rice.

(4) Avoid drinking less water. Bedridden patients with fractures, especially those with spinal, pelvic and lower limb fractures, have great difficulty in moving, so they try to drink less water to reduce the frequency of urination. Although this reduces the frequency of urination, it also creates greater trouble. If bedridden patients have less activity, weakened intestinal motility, and drink less water, it is easy to cause constipation. Long-term bed rest and urine retention can easily induce urinary stones and urinary tract infections. Therefore, bedridden patients with fractures can drink water whenever they want without having to worry too much.
