Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting Podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. Let's talk about the best diet for a bone fracture. What foods should you be eating?

Once you had a fracture, let's say you had some trauma like I did with my shoulder and my elbow and my

leg where you actually broke the bone, what foods would be best? And this also includes some type of

surgery where they had to cut your bone. What things do you need to speed up the healing? First,

let's talk about what happens when you break a bone. It's quite fascinating how coordinated

and organized your body is in healing a bone fracture

in the perfect sequence of events. First thing that happens is you have this blood clot around

these two bones that have been broken. And with that blood that rushes in, you have all sorts of

things. You have white blood cells.

You have growth factors. You have immune cells. You have something called macrophages.

Macrophages are very large phagocytes, which are cells that eat things. So the macrophage is going to do a lot of

things. It's going to clean debris. It's going to increase

inflammation initially. And then later, it's going to decrease inflammation. The macrophage is

essential and critical in making sure that this bone heals correctly. It's also going to make sure that

that bone becomes solid again. And if there's anything

that slows down these macrophages, it's going to take longer and longer to heal. And it just happens.

What slows these guys down is high levels of sugar in the blood. This is why diabetics take longer

to heal. So hyperglycemia, high sugar in the blood, or a high

carbohydrate diet, you know, those things that they feed you at the hospital will slow down
