4. Up Your Calcium Intake
While you are healing from a break or fracture, your body needs all of the nutrients it can get – and giving your body some extra help during this period can mean that you heal your fracture at a much faster, better rate than if you didn’t. Almost everyone knows that calcium is one of the essential building blocks for bones, so after a break or fracture can be one of the best times to naturally increase your calcium levels.
Dairy products are one of the most obvious sources for calcium, but not the only ones by far. Many fruits and nuts also happen to contain more calcium than you would think, and some even contain more per volume than milk.
If you are unable to consume calcium through dairy products, there are many alternatives out there – including just opting for a few months of calcium supplements or a comprehensive multivitamin which can support your body.
