I often get messages from kidney patients asking if they can exercise, and my answer is basically yes, “Yes”! “Life is exercise” is a familiar saying that applies to most people. Life for each of us that is short and precious, but also fragile, one of the keys to cherish life is exercise, and exercise itself can improve the body’s physical fitness and immunity, to prevent disease, health and longevity to lay a solid foundation. Therefore, once the kidney disease patient’s condition is controlled and stabilized, that is, you can start to carry out the exercise within your ability, the form of which varies from person to person, and the amount of exercise is progressive. We recommend an article that tells you the benefits of daily exercise to our lives, so don’t be lazy! Few lifestyles can have as great an impact on overall health as exercise workouts. If you exercise one hour a day, you are 40% less likely to die prematurely than someone who exercises only 30 minutes a week. The many benefits of exercise, count them today! 1, reduce colds Studies have shown that walking 4 days a week for 40 minutes at a brisk pace can reduce the number of colds by 25% to 50% throughout the year and shorten the duration of colds by half. This is because moderate exercise enhances the function of the immune system. 2, improve depression Harvard Medical School study found that depressed patients who participated in aerobic exercise have improved, and even exercise can be used to replace antidepressants. Follow-up surveys show that after the end of the study to adhere to regular exercise is less likely to have another attack. 3, help prevent osteoporosis Exercise will stimulate the body’s bone cells, thereby preventing osteoporosis and bone thinning. High-impact sports (such as dancing, jumping rope or playing tennis) can better stimulate bone growth and maintain bone density. Strength training is also important. Lifting weights, push-ups, and pull-ups can also stimulate bone growth. The American College of Sports Medicine recommends the “osteoporosis prevention exercise program”, which is strength training and aerobic exercise. 4, lower blood pressure Proper exercise can help patients with high blood pressure to better reduce blood pressure. 5, reduce chronic pain even if only 10 minutes of aerobic exercise, can significantly reduce chronic pain. This may be the exercise released a natural painkiller called endorphins. 6, against chronic fatigue syndrome British researchers asked a group of patients with chronic fatigue syndrome to walk or do other aerobic exercise at least 5 days a week, gradually increasing the amount of exercise to 30 minutes each. After three months, their symptoms were significantly improved and felt much better. After one year, 3/4 of the exercisers had resumed normal daily activities and some had returned to work. 7.Prevent cancer Regular exercise can reduce the risk of colon cancer by 25%, and walking four times a week for half an hour each time is enough. Exercise can also reduce the risk of colon polyps (which can develop into colon cancer). 8, relieve constipation Reasonable exercise helps promote intestinal blood supply and colon peristalsis, which can play a role in relieving functional constipation. If you have constipation, in addition to medication under the guidance of your doctor, you can also exercise reasonably to relieve constipation according to your own situation. 9, help lower blood sugar Exercise can improve insulin sensitivity, so cells can better use the available insulin to ingest glucose, maintaining sensitivity to insulin can help diabetics reduce the need for drugs. 10, improve sex life Exercise allows the brain to produce endorphins, which improves mood and stimulates the release of sex hormones. Exercise also increases blood flow to the reproductive area, making men and women feel more pleasurable sexually. 11, fight addiction Research has shown that exercise can help short-term and long-term addiction patients recover. Short bursts of exercise can distract addicts from the urge to indulge in harmful substances. Researchers at Brown University School of Medicine found that engaging in 12 weeks of aerobic exercise increased the number of days of abstinence and reduced the amount of alcohol consumed per day by alcohol-dependent patients in recovery. 12, improve Parkinson’s disease The study found that patients with Parkinson’s disease who played tennis, bowled and practiced boxing for one hour on a game console, three days a week for four weeks, showed that the participants moved their bodies easier, had improved fine motor skills and had more energy. Their scores on the depression test also dropped faster. 13, stroke prevention Increasing heart rate can play a big role in preventing cardiovascular disease. Just 30 minutes of vigorous exercise a day can get the heart rate up and reduce the risk of stroke by 20 percent. If the intensity is appropriately high, this risk can be reduced by another 7%.
