Moreover, walking is suitable for both strong and weak people, so walking is a suitable exercise for liver cancer patients to exercise health. However, there are also some issues to pay attention to during walking.

The following are some issues that liver cancer patients need to pay attention to when taking a walk:

1. The walking time is generally about 30 minutes, choose the morning or after dinner, the speed, time and distance are not limited, and it is comfortable to do it step by step, once in the morning and once in the evening. You can gradually increase the pace according to your physical condition, and it is OK when you feel sweat on your body, but do not sweat profusely or over-exercise.

2. Walking is generally done with natural breathing, with stability as the standard. In order to exercise better, you can gradually carry out regular breathing training, try to make the exhalation time longer than the inhalation time, and then transition to abdominal breathing on this basis to improve ventilation and enhance cardiopulmonary function.

3. Relax your whole body and be calm, stroll leisurely in the garden, adjust your breathing and move your limbs.

4. Wear loose clothes, wear suitable shoes and socks, relax your mind and don’t worry about anything.

5. The place for walking should be chosen in a place with fewer pedestrians and vehicles and fresh air, especially in the woods, by the stream and on the lawn.

According to a survey, walking can also calm the nerves of liver cancer patients who suffer from insomnia, dreaminess, and unstable moods. Most of these patients suffer from heavy mental burdens. For these symptoms, walking is an ideal "treatment agent". Doing walking exercises before going to bed and then washing your feet with warm water can help you fall asleep.

What should liver cancer patients pay attention to when exercising?

Rehabilitation physical exercises for liver cancer patients include active and passive exercises. Active exercises refer to various exercises that one can do by oneself to increase muscle tension, improve endurance and stamina, and prevent muscle atrophy.

Passive exercise means that the patient passively accepts exercise with the help of others (such as massage), which improves local blood circulation, relaxes the mind and body, and thus helps the recovery of body functions. Rehabilitation physical exercise should be from simple to complex. Gradually increase the amount of exercise so that you can adapt to the needs of daily life. You can start by doing some simple small movements in bed or beside the bed, gradually transition to taking care of your own life, and then exercise outdoors depending on your physical condition. The easiest way to exercise outdoors is to take a walk, which can be done in the early morning, after meals, and before going to bed. When walking, your gait should be calm, you should not think about anything, wear loose clothes, and the time can be long or short, but it is best not to feel tired.

If liver cancer patients exercise more, it can not only improve their own resistance and help better control the disease, but also avoid the occurrence of mental illness through exercise. Therefore, moderate physical exercise is very beneficial for patients.
