Colorful produce, fish, walnuts and flaxseed promote tendon and ligament healing. Tendons are tough, flexible bands of tissue that connect muscle to bone. Ligaments are similar bands that connect bone and cartilage to joints and organs. Healthy connective tissues support your ability to move, exercise and lift objects freely. Tendons and ligaments may be damaged by overuse, illness or injuries, such as tendinitis. In addition to medical treatments, physical therapy and rest, certain foods may help your ligaments and tendons heal.
Protein makes up the bulk of your tendons and ligaments. Collagen makes your tissues strong, while the protein elastin in ligaments provides some elasticity. Protein from your diet allows your body to produce new collagen and elastin to help keep your tendons and ligaments strong. Sedentary adults need about 0.4 gram of protein for each pound of body weight -- or about 60 grams for a 150-pound person, according to Stony Brook University.
