Medical research has found that long-term practice of Tai Chi can improve immunity and resist a variety of diseases. Therefore, Tai Chi is considered to be the most effective exercise to resist immune diseases.
Tai Chi helps middle-aged and elderly people
Tai Chi improves the body’s immune function mainly in the increase in the amount of immune cells in the peripheral blood and the enhancement of their activity. American scientists pointed out that after practicing Tai Chi for 15 minutes, immune cells were found to be significantly improved. Chinese medical researchers found through experiments that practicing Tai Chi once can increase the secretory immunoglobulin fluid in saliva by 16mg/100. It proves that Tai Chi can improve the body’s immune function and achieve an effect that is difficult to achieve with drugs.
Dr. Irving of the University of California, Los Angeles used the most rigorous research method to randomly divide the research subjects (59 to 86 years old, with an average age of 70 years old) into two groups. One group learned Tai Chi and the other group participated in health education. The two groups were tested before the experiment to understand their immunity index. It was found that the immunity of the two groups was roughly the same. Each group had three classes per week, each lasting 40 minutes. After 16 weeks, the health education group received vaccination registration, while the Tai Chi group did not receive the injection, and both groups continued to attend classes. At 25 weeks, the test found that the immune index of both groups was improved, and the average index of the Tai Chi group was slightly higher than that of the vaccine group, equivalent to a healthy person in his thirties. Another experiment found that if the Tai Chi group also received vaccinations, their immune index was twice that of those who only received the injections but did not practice Tai Chi. This proves that Tai Chi can enhance the function of the immune system and does not conflict with any drugs.
Long-term practice of Tai Chi can help improve the immune function of diabetic patients and improve their ability to control blood sugar. The study found that after 12 consecutive weeks of Tai Chi, the AIC level of diabetic patients decreased significantly. The researchers also found that the number of regulatory T cells in these participants increased, which helps to maintain the normal function of the immune system, and the number of killer T cells in their bodies that may destroy abnormal cells in the body decreased. Other studies have pointed out that long-term Tai Chi exercise can significantly improve the cell activity factors and quality of life of patients with type 2 diabetes. There are also studies that use the self-control method to prove that Tai Chi exercise can help improve the immune function of patients with type 2 diabetes. In addition, if diabetes medication and Tai Chi are properly combined, the glucose metabolism and immune function of patients with type 2 diabetes can be better improved. This is also the fundamental reason why many diabetic patients can quickly recover their health through Tai Chi rehabilitation. Middle-aged and elderly people insist on practicing Tai Chi to enhance immunity. Tai Chi exercise has the effects of consuming fat, regulating body weight, promoting digestion and absorption, enhancing metabolism, and enhancing cardiovascular function. If the exercise intensity is too low or the time is not long, it will not cause changes in antibody levels. Most studies point out that long-term aerobic training will increase the body’s IgG, IgA, and IgM levels and enhance the body’s immune function. A study found that after 6 months of Tai Chi training, there were significant differences in IgG, IgM, IgA, WBC, IL-2, IL-6 and serum cortisol after exercise compared with before exercise, indicating that Tai Chi exercise can well improve the function of the immune system of the elderly. In China, some scholars studied 12 elderly people over 50 years old who often participated in Tai Chi morning exercises at Xinxiang Medical College for 5 weeks. At the same time, 12 elderly people of the same age who did not participate in any training were used as the control group. The results showed that Tai Chi exercise can effectively improve the function of T and B lymphocytes, enhance the immune ability of the elderly, and play a positive role in the mental health of the elderly.
The help of Tai Chi for women
A study found that after 6 months of Tai Chi exercise, the NK cell activity of women in the experimental group was significantly higher than before exercise, and the difference was very significant; the NK cell activity of men was also enhanced, and the difference was significant, while no significant difference was found in the control group. Tai Chi is a medium-to-small intensity aerobic exercise. By regulating the body shape, intention, and qi, it can improve people’s mental state, increase NK cell activity, and effectively regulate immune balance.
Tai Chi has incredible effects in helping women regulate endocrine, replenish qi and blood, improve immunity, and protect women’s health and beauty. Women who practice Tai Chi regularly usually exude a graceful, light, quiet and elegant temperament from inside to outside.
Due to physiological reasons, women’s qi and blood are prone to loss and imbalance, which leads to anemia, kidney deficiency, endocrine disorders, and directly leads to the premature arrival of aging. Tai Chi, with its flexibility, stretching, fat reduction and body shaping, is the best solution to these problems.
Tai Chi is an all-round exercise, which has a strong effect on the coordinated exercise and stretching of the whole body. As far as the legs are concerned, the legs are an important aspect of showing women’s beauty and reflecting women’s self-confidence. Tai Chi’s leg exercise is not like running. It is a comprehensive and comprehensive improvement of the strength, stretching and function of the legs from front to back, left to right, inside and outside, while achieving the beauty standard of women. Therefore, Tai Chi is a natural movement of the human body that comprehensively affects all aspects of the legs, so that the muscle groups, joints and bones are truly and effectively exercised, bringing good self-charm to female friends.
The influence of “quiet” in Tai Chi on women cannot be ignored. “Movement can generate wisdom, and stillness can generate intelligence.” Tai Chi can strengthen the body and cultivate the mind, which can fully refine and improve the “inner beauty” of women and profoundly change the charm of women. Long-term practice of Tai Chi can help women develop a calm and calm psychological quality and behavioral habits, making women more charming with quiet, elegant and wise qualities.
Tai Chi follows the principle of “no more, no less”, which can fully enhance, regulate and smooth the body. Tai Chi will not damage the body due to overdrawing physical strength, and it is completely in line with the laws of human life movement. It can fully enable female friends to get comprehensive body care during exercise. At the same time, this whole-body exercise also gives women confidence to express their own charm and vitality.
