Fractures:

Fractures are very incapacitating to their sufferers not only because of the pain involved but the use of immobilization for at least six weeks to heal them. There are numerous types of fractures and it is essential to get a x-ray of any suspected fracture to prevent deformation while healing. Bones undergo an amazing healing process, which can be supported both nutritionally with vitamins and herbs.

Some fractures are slow to heal, and benefit greatly from supplements. It is important that the healing site be as strong as possible to prevent any future risk of fracture in the same location.

Severe pain at the suspected site of trauma.
Natural contours of the shape of a limb disrupted.
Severe swelling.
Hematoma.
Loss of function of the body part involved.

Lifestyle Changes:

Immobilization is essential. Don’t try to do anything with the effected side.
Exercise of the opposite limb is proven very beneficial to decrease loss of muscle mass of the broken side! The body is believed to do this through muscle memory, and all studies show excellent retention of strength on the broken side.
Continue exercising every day for 1 hour utilizing cross training to rest the affected body part.
Stop smoking. Smoking leads to brittle bones.
Avoid alcohol.

Dietary Changes:

Avoid caffeine.
Drink 10 glasses of water daily.
Eat more calcium rich foods such as low fat dairy products and leafy green vegetables.
Eat 5 servings of fruit and vegetables daily.
Eat more essential fatty acids to decrease inflammatory pathways in the body. Eat fish 3x per week, more seeds and nuts, and canola and olive oil.
