Regular exercise can have numerous benefits for individuals with UC, including improved overall health, increased energy levels, and better stress management. Work with your loved one to develop an exercise routine that is appropriate for their fitness level and health condition.

Choose low-impact activities, such as walking, swimming, or cycling, that are less likely to exacerbate UC symptoms. Encourage your loved one to listen to their body and adjust the intensity or duration of their workouts as needed, especially during flare-ups.

Consult a healthcare professional or physical therapist for guidance on developing a safe and effective exercise plan tailored to your loved one’s specific needs and limitations. (5)
