Appropriate exercise and health care for cancer patients are helpful for the body's recovery and improvement of immunity, and thus can better resist the disease. Here we will introduce to you what kind of exercise is suitable for liver cancer patients. I hope the following content can be helpful to everyone.

After cancer is diagnosed, treatment measures should be taken as soon as possible. After the tumor is removed or the disease is controlled by radiation or chemotherapy, you should appropriately participate in some physical exercise within your ability to improve the body's immune function. Physical exercise will increase the number of white blood cells in the blood, and white blood cells have the ability to devour cancer cells and bacteria. At the same time, physical exercise can also improve the body's metabolism and enhance the body's resistance. The principle for cancer patients to participate in exercise is to do it according to their ability and proceed step by step.

How to perform rehabilitation exercises after cancer surgery? Appropriate whole-body activities are necessary for cancer patients after surgery, but this must be based on the physical condition allowing it and varies from person to person.

(1) If there are no contraindications after surgery, the patient should get out of bed and move around after 1 to 7 days, i.e., early ambulation. The patient can be supported by family members to walk around the ward to promote the recovery of body functions.

(2) If the surgical trauma is severe and the patient has poor physical strength and cannot get out of bed, the patient can do limb exercises and turn over in bed.

(3) If your body recovers well, you can gradually increase the amount of exercise and change the content of your exercise, from walking, qigong, tai chi to aerobics and even jogging.

Walking is good for health. Among the rehabilitation exercises for cancer patients, walking is the first recommended one. It does not require much exercise and is simple and easy to do. It is not limited by time, space and other conditions. Except for bedridden patients, all cancer patients can choose this form of exercise.

Walking can be done at any time regardless of the season. In spring, you can walk on the grass, in summer, by the river, in autumn, you can admire the lotus pond, and in winter, you can walk through the pine forest. Each has its own fun and can relax you.

Walking is not restricted by space. Whether you are strolling slowly on the country roads or strolling on the city boulevards, the vast space, green environment and fresh air will make people feel refreshed and relaxed.

There is a science to taking a walk. The ancients said: "Walking means being relaxed and unrestrained. You should walk and stand, stand and walk, and maintain a leisurely and relaxed attitude."

Here are some tips for taking a walk:

(1) Wear loose clothing and suitable shoes and socks. If you are old and frail, you can walk with a cane to ensure safety.

(2) Take a leisurely walk, feel relaxed and at ease, and clear of all distractions.

(3) Walk with ease, as if you are strolling in a garden, so that all the meridians are unblocked and the internal and external organs are coordinated, so that the qi and blood in the whole body are balanced.

(4) Take it step by step and do it according to your ability. The time can be long or short, and you should make sure that you are physically tired but not out of breath.

(5) Walking time: First, take a walk in the morning, surrounded by flowers, plants and trees, which can refresh the mind and regulate qi and blood. Second, take a walk after a meal. The ancients believed that "after a meal, the food stops in the stomach, so you must walk slowly for several hundred steps to disperse the qi and transfer it to the spleen, which will easily cause iron to rot." Third, take a walk before going to bed, which can relax the mind and promote sleep. You can also take a walk at other times. The key is to persist in it, and you will benefit in the long run.

The above is the answer to the question of what kind of exercise is suitable for liver cancer patients. I hope the above content can be helpful to everyone. I wish patients can get rid of the disease as soon as possible.
