What foods are best for hip surgery patients to eat?

Hi Ratnamala!

Thank you for reaching out to the HexaHealth community!

As such, there are no strict dietary restrictions after hip surgery. But it's important to include a healthy, balanced diet in your routine to promote faster and better healing. Here are a few essential tips:

✅ Include Protein-Rich Foods
Helps with tissue repair – eggs, lentils, paneer, chicken, tofu, etc.

✅ Add Calcium and Vitamin D
For strong bones - milk, curd, ragi, sesame seeds, and sunlight exposure.

✅ Stay Hydrated and Eat Fiber
Prevents constipation – fruits, veggies, whole grains, and plenty of water.

✅ Boost Immunity with Fruits and Veggies
Especially ones rich in Vitamin C, like oranges, amla, and bell peppers.

✅ Limit Processed and Sugary Foods
They may slow down recovery and increase inflammation.

A healthy plate = a speedier recovery! 💪
