Importance of working out with MS/ A-1 Home Care Los Alamitos



No matter what stage your multiple sclerosis (MS) is in, you can benefit from exercise. Many studies have shown that seniors and elders with advanced MS can reap the benefits of physical activity. Regular exercise can help improve:
  • Heart health
  • Physical strength
  • Bladder and bowel function
  • Feelings of fatigue and depression
  • Overall attitude
  • Participation in social activities
When you have multiple sclerosis, exercise doesn't have to be something intense or lengthy. Moderate exercise, like brisk walking, for 20 minutes a day can give you the same benefits as intense workouts that leave you tired and sweaty. You should base your workout on your unique needs, and change it every few months to avoid plateaus. And if you've heard that exercise can trigger a relapse, that's a myth. No studies have shown that exercise leads to an increase in disease activity or an MS relapse. Please remember to consult your doctor before starting any exercise program.
