What exercise is suitable for cancer patients? 1, swimming
Cancer patients swimming 3~4 times a week can improve cardiopulmonary function and prolong their survival time. Because exercise can increase dopamine nerve content, dopamine has anti-cancer effect and can improve immunity. But swimming time should avoid excessive hunger and satiety.
2. Yoga
Yoga is a mild aerobic exercise, which can increase the oxygen content in the body and inhibit the growth of cancer cells. When practicing yoga, the body and mind are integrated and relaxed. Practice 30 minutes to 60 minutes a day, 3 to 4 times a week, and listen to soothing yoga music when practicing yoga, which can enhance physical fitness and achieve the effect of preventing cancer.
Step 3 walk quickly
Cancer patients can walk as long as their physical strength permits. When exercising, the pace is a little slower and the frequency is a little faster, but the exercise should not be excessive. Walk for ten minutes at first, and then gradually increase the amount of exercise and exercise time after the body adapts. When you exercise, your body sweats slightly.
Step 4 jog
Jogging is a good aerobic exercise, which can increase the oxygen content in the body, inhibit the development of cancer cells and promote the apoptosis of cancer cells. Choose suitable soft sports shoes when jogging, so as not to cause joint and heel pain. Jogging is based on slight sweating and you can't do strenuous exercise.
Step 5 take a walk
Cancer patients with weak constitution can choose to walk in parks with fresh air and smooth roads, and enjoy the surrounding flowers or chat with their families as much as possible, which can alleviate their depressed mood. Walking for an hour after a meal not only promotes food digestion, but also helps to recover from illness.
6. Tai Ji Chuan
Tai Ji Chuan belongs to mild aerobic exercise, which can cultivate self-cultivation. Cancer is a chronic consumptive disease, patients are often tired and weak, and vulnerable to cold pathogens. Tai Ji Chuan is a mild aerobic exercise, which can strengthen the body resistance and eliminate pathogens, achieve the balance of yin and yang, promote the recovery of illness and prevent cancer cells from recurring or metastasis. Tai Ji Chuan plays twice a day in the morning and evening, and should be calm when exercising, which can improve sleep problems and reduce physical discomfort.
Warm reminder, cancer patients should adopt the principle of gradual exercise, and exercise should be based on the premise that the body does not feel tired. There are 10 minutes of warm-up activities before exercise, such as stretching your limbs or walking in place. Replenish water reasonably during exercise to avoid dehydration and affect the condition. Try to arrange the exercise time at 9- 10 or 4 pm.
