Dr. Xu Shuai
After an ankle sprain, the following foods are recommended to promote recovery:
1. Protein-rich foods: such as eggs, fish, chicken, tofu, etc., which help repair damaged tissues and strengthen muscles.
2. Foods rich in vitamins: especially those high in vitamin C, such as citrus fruits, strawberries, spinach, etc., which help reduce inflammation and promote wound healing.
3. Calcium-rich foods: such as milk, soybean skin (tofu skin), shrimp, beef, etc., which support ankle joint tissue growth and aid in recovery.
4. Foods that promote blood circulation and resolve blood stasis: such as yam, hawthorn, black beans, red dates, etc., which can help reduce local swelling, improve blood circulation, and alleviate localized edema.
