What to eat to heal a fracture in children

During the recovery period of children's fractures, they can eat more foods rich in calcium, protein and vitamins, which will help promote bone healing and overall recovery. Parents need to pay attention to the scientific nature of the diet and avoid excessive or blind supplementation.

Fractures are essentially damaged bone cells, so the body needs to be provided with enough "building materials" to repair bones. Calcium is an important component of bones, while vitamin D acts as a "courier" to help calcium be better absorbed; protein can supplement the raw materials needed for bone cell reconstruction. It is worth noting that partial or unbalanced diets may prolong recovery time.

In daily diet, you can choose foods with good calcium supplement effects such as milk, yogurt, and sesame paste. Get more sun or eat some mushrooms to supplement vitamin D. High-quality protein can be supplemented from fish, eggs, and soy products. In addition, fruits such as oranges and kiwis that are rich in vitamin C can help produce collagen and further promote bone recovery. Vinegar can be added when cooking bone soup to help calcium seep out, but it is not a "universal tonic" for fracture recovery.

In terms of diet planning, you should eat less high-sugar, fried or irritating foods, which may affect the efficiency of nutrient absorption. Fracture recovery is also inseparable from rest and rehabilitation exercises. Parents can adjust the amount of activity and nutritional direction according to the doctor's advice. When the condition is complicated, you need to communicate with the doctor in time and seek professional help.
