Jia Kai, deputy director of the Nutrition Department of Chaoyang Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University, said that in fact, the content of calcium in bone soup is very low, and there are some other substances in bone soup, such as fat and purine. Once ingested too much, it will inhibit the absorption of calcium, which is not conducive to the recovery of the disease. Therefore, bone soup is not a good food to promote fracture recovery.
So what to eat after fracture is good for the recovery of human bones?
Jia Kai said: "In the process of bone reconstruction, high-quality protein and calcium are mainly needed. At the same time, for the absorption and utilization of calcium, the demand for vitamin D will also increase. On the basis of a balanced diet, milk can not only provide high-quality protein, but also provide calcium that is well absorbed and utilized. " He also suggested that patients with fractures should try to avoid greasy, high-sugar and high-calorie foods during the healing process, so as not to affect the absorption and deposition of calcium. Usually, the diet should be light and easy to digest.
Besides paying attention to diet after fracture, we should also prevent complications.
Pan, chief physician of Orthopaedics Department of Tsinghua Chang Gung Hospital affiliated to Tsinghua University, said that the first thing to pay attention to after fracture is the change of pain. There will be traumatic reaction after fracture, that is, swelling. If the swelling becomes more and more serious, it will compress nerves, blood vessels and muscles, which is called "osteofascial compartment syndrome". In severe cases, it will cause muscle and nerve necrosis, leading to disability. The second is joint function exercise. If you don't move for a long time, there will be rigidity. For the lower limbs, if they don't move, it is easy to have complications such as thrombosis, bedsore and pneumonia. Therefore, you must do the ankle pump activity of the ankle joint of the lower limb under the guidance of a doctor.
The process of bone healing is very important, but in order to fundamentally prevent the occurrence of fractures, people need to improve their safety awareness in their daily lives, so experts also give some suggestions.
The first is to maintain good living habits. Drinking less strong tea will affect the absorption of calcium and cause bone loss. Second, maintaining proper exercise can enhance the quality of bones and help maintain the coordination and balance of the body. The third is to maintain a safe home environment, which is very important for the elderly.
Experts pointed out that old people are prone to fractures at home, so they must take good care to prevent accidents. (Xiao Jinbo Qiu Shuang finishing)
