12. The Role of Exercise and Lifestyle in Managing Neutropenia
Regular, moderate exercise can boost the immune system. It’s beneficial for neutropenia patients. However, it should be balanced with the risk of exposure to infections, especially in public places like gyms.
Healthy lifestyle choices are crucial. This includes a balanced diet, adequate sleep, and stress management. Avoiding tobacco and excessive alcohol is also important. These choices can support overall health and immune function.
Exercise routines should be tailored to individual health status. Low-impact activities like walking or swimming are often recommended. Consulting with healthcare providers before starting any exercise program is essential.
A supportive environment can encourage a healthy lifestyle. Family and friends can participate in exercise and other healthy activities, providing motivation and support. (12)
