Dr. Zhang Renling
Patients with iron deficiency anemia and hypoglycemia should avoid strenuous exercise and instead engage in appropriate physical activities. Moderate exercise can not only enhance their physical fitness but also boost their resistance. They should choose forms of exercise with limited range and low intensity, which are beneficial for their health condition. Common suitable activities include walking, practicing tai chi, and playing badminton.
