Old people can often be seen playing Tai Chi in the park. What are the benefits of Tai Chi for the elderly?

Tai Ji Chuan is a good exercise, and most middle-aged and elderly people like to take Tai Ji Chuan as an exercise. However, Tai Ji Chuan is not only a patent for the elderly, but also a patent for teenagers. I have noticed that most elderly people who exercise are positive and optimistic, and they are very cheerful and talkative in life. Such a healthy lifestyle will also make family relations more harmonious, so the elderly who get up early to exercise will also be respected by their families and envied by their neighbors.

Tai Ji Chuan has a good popularity (regardless of gymnastics or boxing, long-term persistence is effective), and there are special trainers (social sports instructors) in communities or streets to give lectures. Of course, there is also the popularity of Baduanjin and Mawangdui, which are all taught. Old people like to play Tai Ji Chuan in the following aspects: First, Tai Ji Chuan is a traditional martial art in China after all, and it is easy to improve the nervous system after being exposed to it. The function of the nervous system is to regulate the functional activities of all organs in the whole body and maintain the integrity and unity of the human body to meet the needs of changes in the external environment. Through the coordination of thinking, breathing and action, Tai Ji Chuan promoted the functional perfection of brain nerve cells and coordinated the process of excitation and inhibition of human nervous system. Second, sometimes it's not Tai Chi but loneliness that comforts oneself. Third, find the pleasure of self-improvement in the process of pushing hands.

The question is wrong. First, the old people are not "fighting", but gesturing. They don't have the strength and posture to fight. Second, the one they are gesticulating with is not called Tai Ji Chuan. Taiji must be a combination of yin and yang, that is, a cycle of alternating rigidity and softness. Lonely yin is not born, and lonely yang is not long. It's just a soft routine performance It's just healthy exercise.

I saw a bunch of grandmothers playing Tai Ji Chuan in the square every morning to exercise, from 6: 30 to 7: 30 every morning, every day, every month, every year, the wind and rain are unwavering. Tai Ji Chuan is a very suitable exercise for the elderly because of its gentle and slow movements, as well as its ability to regulate breath and nourish qi. Once people enter old age, all parts of the body are gradually aging, with shallow sleep and short sleep time. In addition, people are prone to fatigue and go to bed early and get up early at night.
