  "account": "Sunaina Roshan disclosed that her father, filmmaker Rakesh Roshan, trained for nearly two hours before undergoing cancer surgery. Rakesh, 76, acknowledged feeling nervous about the procedure, stating he believed in God's care. He emphasized that faith positively impacted his mindset. Dr. Sarang Deshpande, an orthopedic specialist, advised regular exercise before surgery to enhance fitness, muscle strength, and lung function, aiding recovery. However, the intensity and timing of exercise are crucial; excessive workouts close to surgery are not recommended. Dr. Deshpande highlighted that patients with higher muscle strength, cardiovascular endurance, and mobility often experience smoother recoveries. He stressed the importance of a positive attitude, family support, and trust in the medical team for emotional well-being during recovery. While motivation is valuable, individualized medical advice should guide workout routines, emphasizing consistent activity, a nutritious diet, adequate sleep, and following surgical instructions. Recovery begins well before the operation, and thoughtful preparation surpasses a single intense workout.",
