Zhang Jianxin, chief physician of Department I of Bone of Xiamen Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that it is really necessary to supplement calcium after human fracture, but in fact, the calcium content in bone soup is very small, and there is a lack of vitamin D that can promote calcium absorption. Therefore, drinking bone soup can not achieve the effect of calcium supplementation. In addition, the fat content of bone soup is very high, which is easy to cause hyperlipidemia, hypertension and other diseases for fracture patients who need to stay in bed for a long time.
"Patients with fractures need calcium supplements. They may wish to drink more milk and goat's milk and eat more foods with high calcium content such as shrimp." Zhang Jianxin also said that after the fracture, the patient's body is in a state of high metabolism, and there will also be negative nitrogen balance and loss of potassium and phosphorus, and it is more necessary to supplement nutrition in a balanced and reasonable way.
Doctors suggest that for fracture patients who need bed rest in the early stage, the daily supply of heat energy and protein can be properly controlled in diet, because too much protein will produce a lot of acidic substances in the body's metabolism and excrete them from urine. When these acidic substances are discharged, the amount of calcium in urine will increase, which will lead to the loss of calcium in the human body and increase the burden on the kidneys.
For fracture patients who need to limit their activities, the diet should be mainly digestible and easily absorbed animal protein such as fish, shrimp, milk, eggs and poultry, and should be light and low in salt (no more than 5 grams of salt per day) and fat to avoid the influence of animal fat and fried food on calcium absorption. At the same time, don't take too much calcium to prevent urinary calculi. Under normal circumstances, it is enough for adults to consume 1000mg- 1500mg of calcium every day. If the intake of calcium is too high, you should drink more water to promote the discharge of calcium.
Zhang Jianxin also suggested that patients with fracture should be properly supplemented with zinc after operation, which is beneficial to wound healing. Also add a variety of vitamins, it is best to have fresh vegetables and fruits for every meal to prevent constipation. Patients with fracture should have diversified diets, match the thickness, eat less meals, eat less sweets, drink less coffee, strong tea and carbonated drinks, and control alcohol and tobacco.
