I AM A HEART PATIENT WHO HAS UNDERGONE BY PASS SURGERY I ALSO HAVE DIABETES TYPE 2 WHAT EXERCISES CAN I DO WHAT EXERCISES SHOULD I AVOID

Ans: It is best to consult your doctor and/or physiotherapist to follow the appropriate protocol for recovery from surgery. In terms of Yoga, gentle practices like Suksham Vyayam would be ideal in the early stages. You should also follow the breathing exercises prescribed during this time to restore pulmonary function. After that whenever you are medically cleared to start exercising again you can progress to the next level. Now, you can start doing simple yogic breathing practices as well as gentle postures like Standing Side Bend (Ardha Katichakrasana), Triangle (Trikonasana), Tree (Vrikshasana), Eagle (Garduasana), Cobra (Bhujangasana), Seated spinal twist (Ardha Matsyendrasana), Shavasana (Corpse Pose) and Vajrasana. Please note, these should be started only after due consultation with your doctor. Wishing you all the best in your recovery.

Ans: For people with diabetes, exercise lowers blood glucose levels and boosts your body's sensitivity to insulin, countering insulin resistance. Aerobic exercise like walking, jogging, cycling, swimming, etc improves heart health, increases your metabolism, aids weight loss, lowers your blood pressure, increases your HDL (“good”) cholesterol and boosts your mood. Anaerobic exercise like weight lifting, resistant training, etc. burns calories and improves your cardiovascular health, insulin sensitivity and blood glucose management, improves power and builds muscle strength and mass. Include both in your exercise regimen as adjusted for confounding factors, including BMI, smoking, and other heart disease risk factors.

Ans: Hi,
As suggested by your doctor. Usually the surgeon advises your water consumption, spice consumption and oil consumption so it’s best to follow that

Ans: Hi

You can start with basic core stability exercises. Please consult the doctor who has operated you to understand when can you get back to your daily activities

Ans: Thank you for your question. Low-intensity aerobics exercises are suitable for individuals with diabetes and hypertension, especially considering your age. They provide cardiovascular benefits, aid in weight management, and help maintain optimal blood sugar levels. Here's a list of the exercises you can consider

Walking and Brisk Walking:

Resistance Exercises using Thera-Band: Resistance band exercises are gentle on the joints and muscles while still providing strength-building benefits.

Cycling, whether outdoors or on a stationary bike, is another low-impact exercise that can improve cardiovascular fitness and help manage weight.

Swimming: Swimming provides a full-body workout without putting stress on the joints.

Meditation and Yoga: They can help reduce stress, lower blood pressure, improve flexibility, and enhance overall well-being.

Incorporating a combination of these exercises into your weekly routine can help you achieve your fitness and health goals while managing diabetes and hypertension. Remember to start slowly, listen to your body, and consult with your healthcare provider before beginning any new exercise program.
