\"\"How many and what kind of childhood injuries did you have? I am talking about stitched-up lacerations, arms or legs in casts, scars, etc? I had my wrist broken when I was 11-12 years old, and a laceration just under the lower lip after a bad fall during athletics training that was stitched up. That must have been around the same age. And if I am not mistaken, I also had chicken pox then. That didn’t leave any scars though.My kids are only 5 and 7 years old, and not doing too bad either when it comes to injuries and accidents. My son got stitches and a scar on his forehead before he turned 3. My daughter got stitched up on her chin just a couple of months back. She was playing horsie with her older brother. She was the horsie and it collapsed under the weight. Yesterday, my son had a bad fall while playing football in the park. He overbent and cracked his collarbone and now has his left arm in a sling. It seems to be terribly painful. The amazing thing is that children heal so fast. The doctors would not give us a clue as for how long he would be in pain, or how long he must wear the sling. After some research I found out it can be something between one and a few weeks. But I can already see improvement since yesterday.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
My own diet usually takes a back seat when my kids are sick. I seem to have an increased need for red wine and chocolates after long days of cuddling, holding hands, fulfilling requests for food & drinks, blankets, entertainment, and sleepless nights. And as I always do whenever my kids are sick, or in this case injured: I pay extra attention to their diet. Lots of raw fruit and veggies and as little inflammatory foods a possible that support the healing process.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This quinoa salad would fulfil all the requirements for speedy bone healing: lots of plant-based protein from the quinoa and almonds, combined with anti-inflammatory cinnamon, ginger, chili and cumin.<\/div>\n
This salad can be made in advance and eaten warm or at room temperature. Leftovers are good for lunchboxes the next day. Enjoy!<\/div>\n
