Does drinking bone broth after a fracture really help you get better faster? The answer is different from what you think, let's take a look

In life, many people must have had the experience of "fracture", especially in the adolescent stage, when the bones are not fully developed and the bones are relatively fragile, which may cause fractures when they fall.

　　In addition, the elderly, menopausal women, etc., are affected by bone loss and osteoporosis , which may also lead to fractures.

　　In most cases, after timely and scientific treatment after fracture, most patients can partially or fully recover limb function.

　　According to the current clinical data, fracture treatment usually goes through three steps, that is, assessment of the patient's general condition, treatment of open wounds, and fracture fixation .

　　However, the recovery of fractures is not recovered in just a few days, and patients still need a period of drug treatment and recuperation. Because of this, there are many ways to recover from fractures, among which "drinking bone soup to supplement calcium" is widely circulated .

　　In the eyes of many people, it not only conforms to the so-called "shape complements the shape" concept of traditional Chinese medicine, but also has a large amount of calcium in the bones, which can naturally have the magical effect of supplementing calcium and promoting bone recovery.

　　So the question is, can drinking bone soup after a fracture really supplement calcium?

　　First of all, it is undeniable that animal bones do contain a large amount of calcium , but the calcium in animal bones requires the release of a large number of hormones in the animal body to convert it into water-soluble substances . After the animal is slaughtered, it has lost the ability to secrete hormones, and the hormones originally in the body have already lost their activity , so it cannot release calcium.

　　Many people blindly believe that by repeatedly boiling the bones at high temperature, calcium will be incorporated into the bone broth. But in fact, the calcium in bone broth is in the form of calcium phosphate . Even if the pressure cooker repeatedly boils the bones for more than 2 hours, the amount of calcium in the bones into the water is very small. The average calcium content in every 100g of bone broth is only 1.9mg.

　　Even a perfectly healthy adult who drinks bone broth from a small bowl at home is only ingesting 2-3mg of calcium . To meet the daily body's calcium needs by relying on bone broth, at least one time is required . Drink 400 bowls. Don't say whether you can drink a lot of soup, even if you can drink it, it is actually not good for your body!

　　Because the thick white color of bone broth when it is boiled is not the performance of calcium dissolved in water, but the bone broth contains a lot of excess fat .

　　Not only that, but purine, a substance that is easily soluble in water, also penetrates into bone broth . Fracture patients try to supplement calcium through bone soup, and the final outcome is likely to become more and more fat, hyperuricemia to find themselves, and even risk of gout.

　　I have to say that there are indeed foods that contain more calcium and are suitable for fracture patients in life, but it does not refer to bone broth. It 's milk, green leafy vegetables, soy products, various nuts , and more. However, for fracture patients, it is important to supplement calcium through food, but what is more important is to cooperate with doctors to carry out scientific treatment and choose suitable drugs.

　　Finally, it should be emphasized that if the patient wants to recover as soon as possible after a fracture, what the patient needs to do is not only to supplement with food. In fact, from a clinical point of view, the most important thing for fracture recovery is rest. Only by resting, cooperating with drug treatment and dietary adjustment, the speed of bone recovery will be accelerated.

　　In addition, during the recovery period, patients should also conduct regular re-examinations according to the doctor's recommendations to observe the specific recovery of the bones.
