It is well known that a proper exercise is very beneficial for our body. But for Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) patients, taking exercise should be careful. Well, is there any exercise restriction on patients with FSGS?
Exercise restriction on patients with FSGS
FSGS patients should avoid strenuous exercise and choose aerobic exercise such as swimming, yoga, taichi, and so on. Here, some people may ask how long is appropriate. Frankly speaking, it completely depends on your own illness conditions. Of course, not the longer the better. If you feel uncomfortable during the exercise, you should stop immediately. At the beginning, you can take exercise for just several minutes and gradually increase the time. Moderate exercise can alleviate high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia and high blood sugar so as to maintain a healthy weight and further prevent vascular embolism diseases.
Exercise benefits
Proper exercise can relieve symptoms of FSGS:
Boost energy
Exercise can help the blood vessels to transport oxygen and nutrients to your tissues and help your cardiovascular system work more efficiently so as to boost your energy.
Alleviate back pain
Exercise can alleviate back pain by increasing muscle strength and improving flexibility and posture.
Relieve edema
When doing exercise, you will sweat. Sweating can drain some fluid away from our body so as to relieve edema.
Maintain a good body weight
Furthermore, exercise is the best predictor of weight loss maintenance. It not only burns calories but also increases metabolism.
Before starting any exercise, you should get permission from your doctor. If you have any question, you can send an email to kidneycares@hotmail.com or leave a message below.
