My final comments on stress fractures have to do with nutrition. Since the right foods can strengthen our immune systems as well as our bones, it is important to eat healthy foods. Calcium and Vitamin D are especially important for bone health and strength.
But in addition to that you should be eating lots of fruits and vegetables which will help strengthen your immune system and promote healing. As I mentioned before, stress fractures can be difficult to heal because they are often in the foot and we keep walking on it. While it may not hurt while we're walking, the act of walking puts pressure on the area of injury and may not allow it to heal. Having a strong immune system will assist your body in the healing process.
