Can I exercise during gastric cancer?

Many patients with gastric cancer have such questions, can they exercise during gastric cancer? Experts say that it is not a question of whether they can exercise or not, but they should exercise. However, they should control the degree of exercise and take not feeling tired as the standard. Being tired is not beneficial but harmful. What kind of exercise is suitable during gastric cancer?

Patients with gastric cancer can exercise, but they should exercise in moderation and not be too tired. Patients with gastric cancer should pay special attention to their diet. Failure to pay attention is likely to aggravate the condition and worsen the condition. Avoid eating spicy and irritating condiments, such as pepper and mustard; do not drink strong alcohol, strong tea and other irritating foods; avoid overly oily and overly rough foods, such as fried chicken, fried dough sticks and other fried foods. To improve gastrointestinal function, you can eat anti-ginseng, which can improve immunity and inhibit the spread of cancer cells.

The best recommended form of exercise is walking. The essentials of walking are as follows: It is recommended that gastric cancer patients should wear loose clothing and appropriate shoes and socks when walking after surgery to ensure safety. When walking, you should be calm and relaxed, and abandon all distractions. When walking, your steps should be relaxed, like strolling in a garden, so as to achieve a peaceful Qi and blood circulation throughout the body. When walking, you should follow the principle of gradual progress and exercise according to your ability. The walking time can be long or short, and you should be physically tired but not out of breath.

One thing that needs to be made clear is that if the patient has no contraindications after surgery, he or she needs to perform moderate whole-body exercise to promote the recovery of body functions. However, if the postoperative trauma is severe and he or she cannot get out of bed, he or she can do some exercises in bed within his or her ability, such as turning over.
