Can patients with chronic nephritis practice yoga?

Nowadays, with the continuous improvement of people's health awareness, many people hope to regulate their immunity through traditional exercises such as yoga, so as to achieve the good goal of preventing and curing diseases. At present, many patients with chronic nephritis cannot achieve satisfactory treatment effects after taking many drugs, so they also want to join the yoga industry to relieve their condition. So can patients with chronic nephritis practice yoga?

Yang Junxing, director of the Fourth Orthopedics Department (sports injury and rehabilitation department) of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, said that yoga is a relatively good exercise program, but even without a "parallel" coach, incorrect exercise methods can cause unexpected harm to the body.

Yoga stretching helps maintain blood vessel health

"Office workers who often sit for long periods of time and lack exercise are very suitable for exercising their body and mind through yoga." Yang Junxing, director of the Fourth Department of Orthopedics (sports injuries and rehabilitation) of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, said in an interview with the Xin Kuai Bao reporter that people who sit in offices for long periods of time have stiff bones and joints and tense muscles due to lack of exercise. The stretching movements of yoga have the effect of relaxing the meridians and activating the collaterals, and are similar to the traditional Chinese health-preserving exercises such as Five Animal Exercises and Eight-Section Brocade. Moreover, yoga movements are relatively gentle. While stretching the body, you need to coordinate your breathing, which will promote blood circulation throughout the body and unblock the meridians, helping to improve the problems of fatigue and mental stress in sub-healthy people.

In addition, yoga can improve waist and neck discomfort to a certain extent. The reason for the injury is related to improper exercise.

Beginners should not do difficult movements

Yang Junxing said that it is very important to know when to stop when practicing yoga. One of the main causes of yoga injuries is over-exercise. He said there are certain risks for beginners. For example, when learning yoga, you often have to do twisting joints. If you don't exercise regularly and don't master the essentials of yoga, you may get injured if you force yourself to complete the movements. It may also cause the joints to be too loose, affecting the stability of movement or walking.

Through a simple explanation of the above paragraphs, I believe everyone should have a more scientific and complete understanding of the question of whether patients with nephritis can practice yoga! In addition, I would like to explain that although it is relatively difficult to cure chronic kidney disease, we must do a more scientific care according to the doctor's instructions, so that we can better control the disease.
