What can't you eat if you have a fracture?

There are actually not so many taboos on diet after a fracture. There are many foods that patients can eat, so that malnutrition will not occur in the body. However, try not to eat spicy and irritating foods as much as possible. These foods will cause bowel movements, which is not conducive to your recovery. Supplement your body with more protein and vitamins.

The purpose of therapeutic diet is to replenish the body's losses and promote wound healing. Phase 1: 24 to 48 hours after injury, mainly focusing on maintaining blood volume and electrolyte balance. There is no need to rush to supplement nutrients during this period. Phase II: At this time, attention should be paid to supplementing sufficient nutrients to prevent infection, promote wound healing, restore muscle vitality and prevent weight loss. 1. Arrange meals reasonably, 4 to 6 meals a day, increase the amount of food you eat, and choose easily digestible foods for snacks.

2. Provide adequate energy and a balanced combination of protein, and choose more foods containing high-quality protein such as eggs, milk, and lean meat. 3. Choose vegetable oil instead of animal fat. Control the amount of cooking oil used throughout the day to 20-30g. Choose steaming, boiling, stewing, braising and other cooking methods instead. Try not to choose frying, deep-frying, or baking. 4. Pay attention to calcium intake. Adults should supply more than 800 mg of calcium per day to promote bone healing and maintain the best bone condition. Milk and its products are rich in calcium and have a high absorption rate. In addition, dried shrimps, green vegetables, beans, etc. are also good sources of calcium.

5. Appropriately increase the sunshine time and take vitamin supplements such as vitamin D in moderation. The recommended amount for adults is 10μg/d (400IU/d), and for the elderly it is 10-20μg/d (400-800IU/d). 6. Increase the intake of dietary fiber by 25-30g per day, ensure more than 500g of vegetables per day, and take dietary fiber supplements appropriately.

1. Energy requirements increase by 20% to 25%. If the patient has a co-existing infection, the requirement increases to 50%. 2. Patients with fractures who are bedridden for a long time should pay attention to supplementing their diet with foods rich in vitamin D and minerals, such as animal liver, seafood, animal bones and carrots. 3. Drink plenty of water. 4. To keep bowel movements smooth, you should eat more vegetables and fruits.

Most fracture patients need to rest in bed. On the one hand, this will cause limb disuse atrophy and further reduce bone mineral content. On the other hand, it will reduce the synthesis of endogenous vitamin D, thereby affecting the body's absorption of minerals, all of which are not conducive to fracture healing. For patients who lie still and do not move, bone calcium will dissolve and be excreted through the kidneys, causing osteoporosis. This is the so-called disuse decalcification. Long-term bed rest and reduced activity will slow down intestinal peristalsis, making constipation more likely, and will also lead to a serious loss of water and electrolytes, causing imbalance. A proper diet is beneficial to bone healing.
