How to exercise for esophageal cancer

Cancer patients must arrange appropriate exercise according to their condition. Do not over-exercise. If you exceed the body's tolerance limit and overload the body whose immune function has already declined, it will be detrimental to the body's recovery. It is generally recommended to do some housework that does not consume much physical energy, such as washing clothes, cooking, buying groceries, and sweeping the floor.

Suitable sports include walking, fishing, mountain climbing, swimming, traveling, Tai Chi, practicing Guolin Qigong, etc. However, you must take care of your own physical strength. Walking, Tai Chi, and breathing fresh air are all good for patients in the recovery period of esophageal cancer.

We need to strengthen our confidence and courage to take part in physical exercise. Many esophageal cancer patients think that since they have an "incurable disease" anyway, what's the point of taking part in physical exercise? This understanding is extremely wrong. Not only should cancer patients take part in physical exercise, but also such exercise programs are very meaningful for esophageal cancer patients. For example, jogging can provide 8 times more oxygen per day than usual. Jogging can also make people sweat. Sweat can excrete carcinogens such as lead, strontium, and beryllium from the human body, and can improve the body's ability to produce white blood cells. Therefore, jogging can prevent cancer.

After comprehensive clinical treatment, patients with esophageal cancer need to increase nutrition, participate in appropriate physical activities, strengthen their physical fitness and improve their immunity as soon as possible, which is very beneficial to the recovery of the disease. Physical exercise can not only improve cardiopulmonary function and digestive function, but also improve the function of the nervous system, improve the body's ability to adapt to external stimuli, relieve the tension and anxiety of the patient's cerebral cortex, and help rest and sleep. Before participating in physical exercise, you should ask a doctor to have a comprehensive physical examination to fully understand yourself, and then choose your favorite sports that suits your situation according to your own situation. In the process of participating in physical exercise, you should be good at self-observation to prevent adverse reactions, and check your body regularly to adjust your exercise methods.
