Brief description

One, the bones

Taijiquan requires a neutral posture, unbiased, "a movement without immobility", the bones of the whole body in a soft activity, not only to correct the bad posture, but also to exercise the cervical vertebrae, lumbar vertebrae, upper and lower limb muscles, the bones. Bones. The outdoor air is fresh and the sun's ultraviolet radiation in the right amount, the human body is easy to absorb the calcium, and will be less likely to suffer from osteoporosis caused by bone deformation and cracking and other diseases.

Second, the lungs

Taijiquan requires movement and breathing. Over time, the lung tissue can be exercised to increase lung capacity, improve immunity, and less respiratory diseases.

Three, healthy stomach and intestines

Taijiquan steps like a cat, action like a silk. No need to force and gentle and slow, will not muscle pain, sweating, thirst. And long-term rhythmic abdominal breathing so that the diaphragm to expand the activities of the gastrointestinal organs to speed up peristalsis, prompting increased appetite, digestive function to strengthen. Constipation, hemorrhoids and other diseases also have curative effects.

Four, promote the circle

Because taijiquan attaches importance to respiratory coordination, in the exhalation of the lungs to strengthen gas exchange activities at the same time, will inevitably promote the blood back to the circle. Coupled with a reasonable diet, less salt, reduce mental stress, high blood lipids, hypertension, coronary heart disease and other circling system diseases will be less and improve.

According to the investigation of the Beijing Institute of Sports Medicine, the average blood pressure of those who often play taijiquan is 134.1/80.5 mmHg, and the control group of the elderly 154.5/82.7 mmHg. Atherosclerosis indicators tai chi group for 39.5%, the average elderly for 4 ****%.

Fifth, the brain nourishing

The current popular 88 Yang-style Taijiquan, for example, exercisers to complete the process of 88 movements, is the process of the brain to memorize the exercise movements. And the practitioner's full attention, calm and unhurried, to soften the hard, but also a kind of experience to cultivate the body. Taijiquan exercise on insomnia, depression, irritability, etc. also has a certain therapeutic effect.

But tai chi can not replace formal medical treatment. Practitioners should also be measured: three sets of daily practice is for the healthy, middle-aged and elderly frail people every day to play a good set of taijiquan seriously and without distractions has been enough. The important thing is to insist.

Taijiquan health effects

1. Exercise effect

years of frozen shoulder and headache good; appetite, walk quickly; sleep time is reduced but not fatigue; movement sensitive, energetic; full of confidence in life, rich in creativity; emotional stability, temperament and mildness, and do things with the main idea, etc.

Taijiquan is the most effective way to improve the health of the elderly. And so on.

2. Role of the muscles

The elimination of rigidity enables all muscle groups and joints to participate in the activities, and thus the burden on the various muscle units is reduced.

In addition, the tension in the nerves that innervate the muscles is reduced, so that the blood returns to the circle more well, and the supply of nutrients and oxygen to the muscles is more adequate.

So it helps to prevent morbid obesity, prevent muscle fiber reduction and atrophy, and maintain muscle elasticity.

3. Role of the osteoiliac

Persisting in practicing the "basic swing" and the routine can make the spine and joints strong and flexible, and correct their posture.

So it helps to prevent and control cervical spondylosis, arthritis, spinal abnormalities, neuralgia, etc. It also imposes moderate physical *** on the bones and iliacs to gradually strengthen them.

As to whether taijiquan can directly strengthen the blood return circle of the osteoiliac, although it is not clear, but certainly it helps to stabilize the function of the vegetative nerves, endocrine gland function enhancement, smooth metabolism.

Thus, the blood return circle of the bones is vigorous, and the supply of complex minerals increases, so that the bones themselves are strengthened.

4. Effect on internal organs

Animal nerves and vegetative nerves are connected with each other in the central nervous system of the brain and spinal cord, and work closely together. Therefore, when playing taijiquan, the more the animal nerves in the bones and iliac muscles relax, the more the vegetative nerves in the internal organs are relaxed, and the tension in the internal organs is also relieved, so that the functions of the internal organs can be fully utilized.
