Antioxidants are a group of nutrients that help protect the body from damage caused by free radicals. Free radicals are molecules that can damage cells and tissues in the body, including bone tissue.
During the healing process, your body produces more free radicals than usual as part of the immune response to the injury. It’s important to eat a diet that includes plenty of antioxidant-rich foods, such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds, to help neutralize these free radicals and support the healing process.
In addition to dietary sources, it may be necessary to take antioxidant supplements during the healing process to ensure adequate intake. Talk to your doctor about whether supplements are recommended for your specific fracture and overall health. Eating a diet rich in antioxidants can also help support overall bone health and reduce the risk of future fractures.
