Can women with colon cancer exercise?

Although the incidence of colorectal cancer is getting higher and higher, if people can do a good job of prevention in their daily lives, the disease can be completely avoided. There are many ways to prevent colorectal cancer, and the most important thing is to develop good eating habits. However, exercise is even more essential, such as aerobic exercise, which is very helpful in preventing colorectal cancer. So can female colorectal cancer patients exercise?

Experts suggest that female colorectal cancer patients should exercise more in their daily lives to strengthen their physical fitness and improve their immunity and resistance. However, the amount of activity should be moderate and not excessive, which will have the opposite effect. This will not only exercise the body, but also help patients eliminate depression and relax their tense spirit.

Exercises that female colorectal cancer patients can do include:

1. Leg curling exercise: Lie on your back, bend both knees and lift them up at the same time, bring your thighs to your abdomen, then return them to their original position, and repeat more than 10 times.

2. Leg raising exercise: Lie on your back, raise both legs at the same time (keep your knees straight), then put them down, and repeat more than 10 times.

3. Bicycle exercise: Lie on your back, flex and extend your legs alternately, imitating the action of pedaling a bicycle. Move flexibly, and extend as far as possible. Do it for 20 to 30 seconds.

4. Sit-ups: Lie on your back, tighten your abdomen, flex and stretch, sit up, touch your toes with both hands, 7 to 8 times each time.
