A week ago I broke my finger. That same evening the finger was plastered. I remembered that I heard somewhere that during the fusion of bones you should not drink anything related to fermentation, so that there are no complications. A week has passed, I try not to look at beer, but there is another stronger temptation - natural kvass. Will it hurt if I drink a glass, I really want to.
No it won't hurt. Drink to your health!
In Tibetan medicine, special healing beer was brewed as a tonic.
Beer is brewed in soft water purified from mineral salts, which is of course not very healthy, but mineral supplements can be taken.
Oooh, with fractures you can drink THIS way.
In this regard, I have a lot of examples when wives and relatives reproach me for
that their relatives claim that they drink ipec: like “Here the doctor ALLOWED it” Of course, I can recommend in some cases a glass of dry red wine, or 50 grams of cognac or vodka, but not
liters and in partisan conditions “SO THAT THE ENEMIES DON’T GET ENOUGH” is a criterion of measure and possibility. In addition to everything, you evaluate the patient, if he is an adult and adequate, then this
one thing, but if the worldview is at the level of a teenager or child, then “Do not give MATCHES TO CHILDREN
People, are you serious? What kind of state does the body need to be put into so that it doesn’t heal a broken finger? Drink whatever you want for your health!
You don't need to drink anything. What if a person also has diabetes mellitus coupled with Raynaud's syndrome?
Ideally, you should only drink slightly mineralized water. But it's boring and tasteless.
Therefore, the water should be diluted.
The main thing is not to get carried away. Heavily diluted water can be harmful.
Yes, and not every water thinner is suitable.

A friend told me that when she broke her arm, her grandmother put her on a milk diet, and her arm healed in 2 weeks.
The ideal diluent for drinking water for fractures is rectified ethyl alcohol of the “Extra” brand. Dilute to taste, but not less than 1:1
But they say there is also Alpha brand alcohol.

Milk contains a lot of calcium. Accordingly, dairy derivatives, cottage cheese in the first place, too.
In addition, phosphorus, which is abundant in seafood, is useful for rapid bone healing.

The Lux brand is practically a techie, but you can drink it.
The “Extra” brand is exactly what is used in the production of drinks.

Milk also seems to have a lot of calcium, so that helped.

That's right. Of course, consumption of milk and dairy products is recommended. What I mean is that the treatment of fractures is not only a diet, but also observation by a specialist, immobilization of the fracture site, and R-control of the fracture site is still necessary
quote: Milk also seems to have a lot of calcium, so it helped
“A lot” is how much? In the sense, what is the daily need for this element during a fracture (or without it) and how much milk must be swallowed to satisfy it?
Why are people learning the school curriculum so poorly? Fuck this algebra, it can’t be useful in life very often (although it helps me a lot personally), but why the school textbook “Anatomy. Physiology. Hygiene” is so ignored? A book useful for life.
A fracture is a nuisance that can happen to anyone, regardless of what age a person is. Legs, arms, hip bones - you can break them even at home. Treatment of such an injury is a long and not entirely pleasant process, where every little detail matters.
However, despite the seriousness of such bone damage, many simply do not consider it necessary to adjust their diet while in a cast. In fact, there are some representatives of plant and animal foods that can increase the speed of regeneration. This will allow the leg bones to heal much faster.
For the entire period of treatment and rehabilitation (about two months), foods containing large amounts of vitamins should become the basis of the patient’s diet.
Proper nutrition will help the body recover faster from injury. The process of bone tissue restoration will be carried out only if a sufficient amount of calcium enters the body. Calcium can be obtained from a huge number of foods. First of all, this is any milk, eggs, nuts, some types of cereals, as well as all kinds of fish. Moreover, preference should be given to small fish, since they can be eaten with bones.
But other types of seafood should not be neglected, because they, like raw milk, should form the basis of the patient’s menu. In addition to calcium, the products listed above contain vitamin D, which not only helps it be better absorbed by the body, but also plays a significant role in the process of recovery of the body after an injury.
You also need to be in the sun more often. It is thanks to the ultraviolet rays of the sun that vitamin D is produced in sufficient quantities.
A lot of calcium is contained in sesame seeds. Of course, you can eat them in their pure form, but they will not be as tasty. It is best to use ground sesame mixture as a seasoning for various dishes. In addition, do not forget about kozinaki prepared with sesame seeds. Such a delicacy will not only be tasty, but also healthy.
Don't think that calcium is the only nutrient needed to repair a broken bone . In addition to it, four types of elements are known that help not only strengthen bone tissue, but also contribute to its fastest fusion.
This list includes the following vitamins:
Products containing the above beneficial elements should be given preference and made the main guests of your refrigerator and stomach during treatment and rehabilitation.
Foods rich in vitamin C are citrus fruits, rose hips, kiwi, and sweet bell peppers. If the bone was broken in winter, when there are much fewer healthy fruits and vegetables on the shelves, then eating based on them will not allow you to get enough vitamins. In this case, you can buy ascorbic acid, known since childhood, at the pharmacy, which contains concentrated vitamin C.
Vitamin A is found in large quantities in carrots, pumpkin, many types of fruits, as well as in fish oil. You can find a sufficient amount of vitamin B in yeast, nuts, wholemeal bread and, of course, fruits. Moreover, you can consume fruits not only raw, but also in the form of freshly squeezed juices and purees. It is best to cook them yourself rather than buy them in supermarkets. There will be practically no benefit from such juices and purees.
Following a diet during treatment includes some rules that should be strictly followed. There are foods that must be excluded from the menu. And this should be done not in order not to recover (you will move little during most of the treatment), but to increase your chances of a speedy recovery and bone healing.
The main reason for refusing certain dishes is their ability to “wash out” calcium from the human body.
The list of prohibited products includes:
The benefits of proper nutrition while in a cast should not be underestimated, because by following some simple rules, you can help your body recover in a much shorter period of time.
Regeneration of a broken bone requires the patient not only care and rest, but also a careful approach to nutrition and taking special medications that promote healing of bone tissue.
The recovery period after a bone fracture can range from 3 weeks to several months. All this time, the body needs additional building material. A broken bone heals with the help of a so-called callus - a growth at the site of the fracture. Studies have shown that proliferation (reproduction) of cells for this layer begins on the second day after the fracture. Therefore, you need to start taking vitamins for fractures immediately after the injury.
Organic connective tissue in the fracture zone is formed by the synthesis of collagen protein. At the next stage of bone restoration, this protein is strengthened by filling it with salts and microelements, which are stored in the human skeletal system and delivered to the injury area through the bloodstream.
In this regard, the main building components for bone tissue regeneration are:
Studies have shown that insufficient dietary protein intake leads to a significant delay in the development of callus. In this case, a person with a fracture develops hypoproteinemia, when, as a result of a lack of protein, the patient’s body begins to use its own protein, which is reserved for other needs.
Therefore, daily protein intake should be increased to 150 grams. per day, and most of this diet should consist of animal protein. It is supplied by such products as boiled meat, baked and steamed fish, eggs, cottage cheese and cheese. For fractures, jelly products are also recommended, since gelatin is essentially an extract of collagen protein from animal bones and joints.
After the first stage of callus formation, its calcification begins. Usually the human body has enough mineral materials for the continuous creation and resorption of bone tissue. However, if the fracture is complex and multiple, and the bone has been crushed, then the natural supply of calcium in the patient’s body may not be enough. Therefore, for any fracture, doctors first prescribe drugs with calcium (Calcimin, Calcium D3). And since this microelement is absorbed only in combination with vitamin D, most drugs offer an optimal combination of these two substances.
If, for example, you take vitamins for a broken arm, then at the same time you need to avoid taking foods that remove beneficial substances from the body. Thus, one cup of coffee can remove the daily dose of calcium from the body: instead of 10 mg of calcium, 50 mg is lost. And if a person is used to drinking three cups of coffee a day, then we can assume that his fracture will take a very long time to heal.
When taking vitamin supplements, do not forget about natural foods rich in calcium. Among them there is a champion in calcium content - sesame (1.4 g of Ca per 100 g). During the period of bone tissue restoration, it is advisable to introduce this product into the diet.
Calcium is in close interaction not only with vitamin D, but is also directly related to phosphorus. In proportions of 2 (Ca) to 1 (P), they balance each other and participate in many metabolic processes in the body. It is noteworthy that excess phosphorus is just as harmful as its lack - in both cases, calcium levels decrease.
Phosphorus deficiency can lead to brittle bones and the likelihood of fractures. If the patient is already taking vitamins for a broken leg, then it would be useful to pay attention to the phosphorus content in the preparations. Phosphorus salts are involved in the formation of bone cells. Products containing phosphorus include:
The trace element zinc performs many functions in the body, including cell growth and repair of damaged tissue. The cell genome includes more than 100 nucleoproteins, which contain zinc. The first sign of a lack of this element in the body is a slowdown in growth.
To compensate for its deficiency, you need to include foods such as apples, figs, honey, grapefruit, nuts and green tea in your diet.
If minerals are the building material for bone regeneration, then vitamins are the biocatalyst that delivers chemical material and regulates the process of bone growth. For example, B6 is responsible for strengthening the collagen structure of bone tissue. B2, B6 and B12 are involved in the process of hematopoiesis, and B1, B2 and B6 are responsible for the normalization of the nervous system.
The entire group B can be replenished by drinking fresh beer in small quantities. Legumes, buckwheat, spinach, fish and bananas are also rich in these vitamins. When prescribing a course of treatment, the group B complex is often prescribed intramuscularly as injections.
We have already written that this element is paired with the microelement calcium. Its function literally translates to “delivering calcium.” Thanks to it, calcium is absorbed and promotes tissue growth. It also regulates the amount of enzymes to preserve minerals in bones and teeth.
The peculiarity is that the body is able to synthesize it itself when the body is exposed to direct sunlight. It is not necessary to sunbathe - a little sun on the face and skin of the hands is enough.
This vitamin helps restore bone density. It holds minerals and enzymes in place, and with a deficiency of C, building materials simply crumble from the collagen base. Its deficiency manifests itself in bleeding gums and the appearance of bruises on the skin. The human body is unable to synthesize or store this vitamin, so it must be replenished regularly through fresh fruits and vegetables. A large amount of it is found in cabbage, onions, lemons and oranges, rose hips, dill, and sea buckthorn. It is present in small doses in all fruits and berries.
As you can see, a person vitally needs vitamins for bones after a fracture. You can replenish their supply with the help of special medications prescribed by doctors. At the same time, one should not forget about diet and a balanced, varied diet. In this case, the fractures will heal quickly and without complications.
We recommend that you watch the video below:
A bone fracture is a complete or partial violation of its anatomical integrity. This situation occurs when a load exceeds several times the strength of the injured area.
There are many reasons for a fracture, but they can all be divided into two main groups:
In case of injury, the severity of the victim’s condition and the clinical picture are determined by the number and size of the damaged bones.
If, as a result of exposure to traumatic factors, damage to the tubular bones occurs, then, as a rule, this is accompanied by massive blood loss and the development of a traumatic shock clinic.
After such serious injuries, patients recover very slowly; the treatment and rehabilitation process can take several months.
The pain syndrome that occurs after an injury is one of the most negative factors.
Pain is an evolutionarily formed protective mechanism from the effects of damaging objects or diseases.
But, despite its important function, it not only causes psychological and emotional discomfort to a person, but also affects the processes of regeneration of damaged tissues.
When a fracture occurs, two types of pain occur: a distinction is made between “primary” and “secondary” pain , each of which has its own time and place of occurrence and differs in the nature of the sensations.
The whole complex of pain during a bone fracture can be divided into several main pathophysiological units:
The nature of the body's functional response to pain during fractures depends on the nature of the pain and its location.
If the victim has an open fracture, then from the skin and muscle receptors, information about tissue damage along afferent pathways reaches certain segments of the spinal cord, where further formation of ascending signals to various parts of the brain occurs.
When exposed to pain, the patient experiences certain changes in some parameters of the functional state of the neuroendocrine system. After receiving a signal about a fracture, the adrenocorticotropic and somatotropic functions of the pituitary gland provide an adequate hormonal response to the adrenal cortex. In the blood of the victim immediately after the injury, the concentration of catecholamines sharply increases, the level of blood glucose rises, and the concentration of the hormone insulin decreases. As a reaction to injury, the concentration of somatotropic and adrenocorticotropic hormones in the blood increases.
Pain syndrome during fractures very often causes a disturbance in the general condition of the victim.
Effective pain management not only alleviates the patient’s physical suffering and improves his psycho-emotional state, but also prevents hemodynamic disorders, gas exchange and metabolism.
When a traumatic factor impacts a bone, the victim experiences sharp pain at a certain point of injury. Swelling and hemorrhages occur in the surrounding soft tissues, and a change in the mobility and shape of the injured limb is possible.
The victim can sometimes hear the crunching of damaged bones at the time of injury.
There are several ways to relieve pain after bone fractures:
They are one of the main methods of treating pain from bone fractures. Although they have a number of side effects, they provide the most adequate pain relief.
Most often from this group it is used for bone fractures:
Narcotic analgesics can only be used in a hospital setting, since these medications require special accounting and write-off.
They are usually used in the most severe cases, with multiple fractures with damage to soft tissues and internal organs.
These drugs can be used in the early period after minor surgical interventions. Painkillers for fractures have little analgesic activity and may not be effective in the most severe cases.
Although the patient can buy many of the drugs in this group at a regular pharmacy, they must be used strictly as prescribed by the doctor, since each drug has its own contraindications and side effects .
Tablets for fractures from the metamizole group are used extremely rarely at the present stage of medical development, only in the most exceptional cases. Studies have proven the toxic effect of analgin on the liver.
The most common tablets used for bone fractures are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Nurofen is widely used in traumatology, and sometimes stronger drugs are Nise and Ketanov.
Ointments can be used locally: “Ketanal”, “Nise”, “Anesthetic ointment”.
For injuries to large skeletal bones, for example, a broken leg, not only painkillers are used, but also tablets containing calcium and chondroprotectors. These products promote good tissue nutrition and rapid regeneration.
Nutrition for arm fractures does not differ from nutrition for other types of fractures. Healing of a broken arm or leg can take anywhere from 3 weeks to several months. This directly depends on the complexity of the fracture and the general condition of the person. It has been proven that proper nutrition promotes rapid healing of fractures. A special diet will be required to heal the fracture and form a callus. It should be based on foods rich in calcium, because calcium is a building material for bones.
Bone tissue plays several important functions in our body:
Bone tissue consists of mineral salts, which make the bones hard, bone cells and collagen fibers, which give the bones elasticity. Bone tissue is constantly in the process of renewal. Old cells are destroyed and new ones appear in their place. In older people, these processes slow down, the amount of collagen decreases, and bones become more fragile. Therefore, the likelihood of limb fractures increases significantly with age.
A bone fracture is any violation of its integrity. The symptoms of a fracture cannot be confused with other diseases - severe pain, swelling of the injured limb, its deformation, and limited movement.
There are many reasons for fractures: domestic and work injuries, falls, accidents. Diagnosis is not difficult. This is an x-ray of the injured limb. Based on this, a diagnosis is made. A fracture can only be treated under the supervision of a doctor.
In order for a broken arm or leg to heal quickly, the body needs help. These are vitamins and microelements that we get with food. Here are the necessary substances for accelerated bone fusion:
Calcium is the most important building material for bone tissue. It is found not only in dairy products. Quite a large amount of calcium is contained in fish (especially sea fish), almonds, and sesame seeds (they contain the most calcium).
Vitamin D is also necessary for the absorption of calcium. You can take it in the form of a medicine. Products rich in this vitamin include butter and fish. But it’s best when the body synthesizes this vitamin itself. It’s easy to help him - you need to take sunbathing. However, you should not abuse this.
Magnesium also helps calcium be better absorbed by the body. Bananas, spinach and lettuce, wheat germ, and seafood are rich in this microelement.
Phosphorus can be obtained from caviar, yolk, hard cheeses, beans, buckwheat and oatmeal. However, it is worth noting that excessive consumption of these products will lead to impaired calcium absorption.
Folic acid is needed by the body for the formation of collagen fibers. It is found in different types of cabbage, citrus fruits, beef liver, bananas, and legumes.
Vitamins play a decisive role in fractures. After all, they play the role of a connective network that strengthens the bone structure. These beneficial substances are found in large quantities in fresh vegetables and fruits. Therefore, for various fractures, it is necessary to introduce as many of these products into the diet as possible.
Nutrition for a broken arm or leg bone should be different from usual. Eat small meals 5-6 times a day. Drink plenty of still water (up to 2 liters per day).
Try not to eat high-calorie foods, because a fracture implies restriction in movement.
And this can lead to weight gain, which, in turn, will be an additional burden on the bones.
In addition to proper nutrition, do not forget about physical therapy. The injured limb must be developed. Otherwise, you risk the fact that your hand will not fully restore its motor function.
In addition to proper nutrition, traditional medicine recipes will ensure speedy healing of a broken arm or leg. By supplementing them with the treatment regimen prescribed by your doctor, you will very quickly restore your injured limb.
An accident that results in a fracture can happen to anyone. And this does not even depend on the age and status of the person. You can break your leg anywhere, even at home. Therapy for such an injury is a rather complex and lengthy matter, in which little things should not be neglected. We are talking about proper nutrition during bone tissue restoration. There are some types of food that will help this process happen faster.
Often a leg fracture is accompanied by damage to tendons and muscle tissue. Because of this, a large amount of protein disappears in the human body. To repair these tissues, the body will need support in the form of certain vitamins and minerals, namely B, C, D, zinc, phosphorus and potassium.
If the human body contains little protein and it does not come in the required quantity with food, the body will spend the protein that is contained in the blood. Doctors call this process hypoproteinemia. This will lead to a decrease in protein in the blood, which will affect the person’s general condition and well-being. As a result, bone tissue will heal very slowly.
When a leg is broken, a large bone can also be damaged. Then the patient will need to add about 150 grams of protein to the body with food. It is very good if half of such food is of plant origin, half is of animal origin. The second includes eggs, fish, and meat products.
Products that contain gelatin or another element that may have a similar effect (jelly from poultry or pig meat, jelly, etc.) will be very useful for restoring protein tissues.
The main helpers for the fusion of the leg bone will be vitamin D and calcium. Their full intake into the body will be the element that will help quickly get a person back on his feet after a fracture. Their presence in the body in normal quantities accompanies the rapid fusion of cartilage and bone tissue.
Some foods that contain calcium include:
The following foods are rich in vitamin D:
Scientists have also proven that the human body can synthesize vitamin D on its own. To do this, it simply needs ultraviolet rays from the sun. Therefore, it is worth remembering that even a person with a cast can benefit from being in the sun.
But you shouldn’t limit yourself to taking foods with calcium and vitamin D3. There are many other components that make bones heal. Proper nutrition for leg fractures includes the obligatory consumption of vitamin C. And if you use it in addition to calcium and vitamin D3, you can get a wonderful scheme for bone tissue restoration, in which vitamin C plays the role of a binding component.
In order to satisfy the body's need for vitamin C, you should eat a lot of citrus fruits or bell peppers. In these products you can find a storehouse of this useful substance. And it doesn’t matter at all in what form they were consumed - whole or crushed into juice.
Of course, eating fresh fruits and juices is not a luxury for everyone. But in this case, ordinary ascorbic acid, which contains the required amount of vitamin C in a canned state, would be an ideal option.
Other foods that need to be consumed in order to get the required portion of this vitamin are:
The combination of vitamins C, D3 and calcium gives a positive result for the restoration of bone and cartilage tissues of the leg.
While treating a broken leg, you need to follow some diet. And this must be done unquestioningly, because the duration and ease of recovery depends on the implementation of these simple rules. There is a list of foods that are strictly not recommended to be eaten after fractures.
One of the main reasons for this step is that these products “take” calcium from the body, which means they weaken the bones.
These products are:
You should not turn a blind eye to this list, because proper balanced nutrition is a significant part of success during the treatment of leg fractures.
Healing a fracture is a particular stress for the human body, so during this period it is simply vital to eat right. It is worth paying enough attention to your eating habits.
It is important to drink the right amount of fluid. The norm is about 2 liters per day. The food that a person plans to eat in one day should be divided into 5-6 meals. Thus, meals become fractional and portions are quite small.
Typically, patients with leg fractures spend a lot of time in bed and move very little, so it is worth eating low-fat and low-calorie foods, which are quickly absorbed by the body. In addition, due to an inactive lifestyle, fats will be burned much more slowly, which can lead to obesity. After treatment, excess weight will be a burden on newly strengthened legs.
In normal conditions, the fracture heals in one and a half to two months. Based on this, you need to plan your diet.
Very often, patients with a broken leg spend little time on nutrition and pay more attention to drug treatment. But proper nutrition will only enhance the effect of medications and help speed up the process of restoration of bone tissue and cartilage.

Is it possible to drink alcohol if you have a fracture? This is a question in which the answer may depend on the opinion of the treating physician, the patient's lifestyle prior to the injury, and the stage of treatment for the injury.
The video in this article on the topic: Is it possible to drink alcohol if you have a broken bone will not be posted, but we will consider the arguments of doctors who hold opposing points of view.
Is it possible to drink alcohol if you have a broken leg? Such information is primarily of interest to people who drink alcoholic beverages to excess on a daily basis, because they are the ones who most often break the femur. The simplest answer and traditional instructions are no, you cannot drink, and during the entire period of treatment.
Because the effect of alcohol on bone fracture is as follows:
For your information. Studies at the University of Nebraska at Omaha and Temple University Health System in Philadelphia have shown that drinking 20-25 ml of alcohol equivalent daily can initiate and maintain bone loss. The higher the dose, the more intense bone tissue degradation occurs.
It is worth clarifying that all of the above negative effects are a consequence of excessive and regular consumption of alcohol, especially their surrogate forms. However, external use of alcohol is encouraged. Alcohol compresses after a fracture locally increase blood supply to the injured area, and they can be applied immediately after removing the plaster.
Traumatologists who oppose the categorical ban on drinking alcohol justify their point of view as follows:
There are two moments when liberal doctors, arguing in favor of moderate alcohol consumption, nevertheless prohibit drinking altogether:
What can you drink and in what quantities? It is best to discuss these issues with your treating specialist.
In general, narcologists and traumatologists give the following general recommendations:
Yes, you can, especially for women after 40-45 years old.
However, there are two necessary conditions that must be met in order for the intoxicating drink to “turn” into a medicinal one:
And in conclusion of this article, let us remind you that the decision to take alcoholic beverages during the rehabilitation process remains with the patient, but you should smoke as little as possible. The price of each cigarette smoked is a clear step back in the treatment of a fracture due to the inevitable decalcification of bone tissue.
