Some people think that calcium is the end-all-be-all of bone health, but that isn’t exactly true. Don’t get us wrong, calcium can do great things for your bones, but not on its own. In fact, if you take in too much calcium without vitamin D then it could actually build up within your body and cause more harm than good.
That’s why it’s so essential that you get enough vitamin D when consuming high levels of calcium to speed up the healing of a boxer’s fracture. Vitamin D will help your body absorb the calcium that you take in and ensure that it’s utilized to accelerate the healing of your metacarpal. If you want to get a lot of vitamin D then eating tuna is a great way to do so. You could also step out into the sun and get some vitamin D that way.
