Tai Chi is a traditional martial art that can regulate Qi and blood, allowing practitioners to calm down without knowing it. It is also a very popular way to get rid of diseases and maintain health.
As a way of fitness, anyone who can move their body and joints freely is suitable for practicing Tai Chi. However, experts suggest that it will be more beneficial if the following five types of people practice Tai Chi.
1，Tai Chi for disease treatment：Chronic muscle injury
Experts from the National Health Research Center of the United States said that Chinese Tai Chi, an ancient way to strengthen the body, can effectively relieve some chronic muscle injury symptoms such as fibromyalgia.
Tai Chi is mostly slow-moving circles and arcs, accompanied by bent-leg half-squat movements, plus alternating changes in the center of gravity, and the movements are mostly hugging, twisting, and twisting, which can effectively improve the strength and endurance of various muscles. Combined with multi-directional and large-scale activities, such as the next posture and kicking, it can effectively improve the flexibility of various joints and comprehensively improve the flexibility, flexibility and coordination of human activities.
2，Tai Chi for disease treatment：Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases
In the past 20 years, with the acceleration of people’s work pace, the increase of mental stress, and the imbalance of diet, the incidence and mortality of cardiovascular diseases have increased year by year, seriously threatening human health.
Tai Chi exercises effectively promote the periodic contraction and relaxation of skeletal muscles, chest cavity, and abdominal cavity through the movement of different fists.
At the same time, when the muscles are active, the capillaries are fully opened, which accelerates the return speed of veins and lymph, improves microcirculation, thereby reducing the burden on the heart and helping to maintain the health of the heart, blood vessels and lymphatic system.
3，Tai Chi for disease treatment：Chronic gastrointestinal diseases
Doctors point out that practicing Tai Chi has good effects on gastrointestinal neurosis, senile constipation, complications of gastric and duodenal ulcers, etc. that other exercises and drugs do not have.
When practicing boxing, abdominal breathing is used to promote the lifting and lowering movement of the diaphragm; the folding and transformation of the chest and abdomen drive the peristalsis of the stomach and intestines; the qi sinks into the dantian to cause the abdominal cavity to swell; and the tongue is pressed against the palate to promote saliva secretion. In summary, practicing Tai Chi can effectively improve digestion, absorption and excretion functions. If a person’s digestion, absorption and excretion functions are good, the body will be healthy.
4，Tai Chi for disease treatment：Respiratory diseases such as tracheitis
When practicing Tai Chi, you should keep your breathing natural and solid. Through deep, long, fine, slow and even abdominal breathing methods, you can increase the gas capacity of the chest cavity, so that the number of oxygen inhalation and carbon exhalation gradually increases, which can ensure sufficient gas exchange and relatively increase the oxygen intake of various organs. Because practicing Tai Chi takes a long time (it takes about 20 minutes to practice four times of 24-style Tai Chi), such aerobic activities can train and improve cardiopulmonary function, and effectively prevent and relieve diseases such as tracheitis, chronic bronchitis, and chronic inactive tuberculosis.
5，Tai Chi for disease treatment：Nervous system diseases such as insomnia
Practicing Tai Chi requires exercise under conscious control, so it can cooperate with the treatment of nervous system diseases, such as anxiety, depression, insomnia and other diseases. During the practice, you need to concentrate your mind, eliminate distracting thoughts, be restrained in your thoughts, and guide your movements with your mind, so as to better regulate various nerve functions.
Practicing Tai Chi can effectively prevent and relieve various chronic diseases. For the prevention and treatment of the above five diseases, Tai Chi has an effect that other sports and drugs cannot match. Therefore, fellow practitioners should practice quickly, and the sooner you practice, the healthier you will be!
