In today's society, health preservation has become a method that many people will choose to keep healthy at ordinary times. Among all kinds of health preservation methods, qigong is a kind of exercise method that people often choose. It can be seen that regular practice of Qigong is of great benefit to human body.
Practicing Qigong is a unique method of self exercise. It enables people's mental activities, visceral tissue movements and body movements to cooperate with each other, mobilize the movement of "real Qi" in the body, and gradually adjust and enhance the physiological functions of the body through active self-regulation, so as to achieve the purpose of strengthening the body, preventing and treating diseases, and prolonging life. Most diseases of human body are caused by high-level central nervous system dysfunction. Qigong training can directly adjust health care.
If a person is in a state of stress of mental tension and pressure for a long time, it will cause a series of pathological changes, leading to hypertension, peptic ulcer, neurasthenia and other diseases. Qigong training can eliminate the state of brain tension and stress, make the excitatory focus of cerebral cortex enter the state of inhibition, so as to eliminate the pathological and physiological basis of disease, and maintain health.
In human health, sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves coordinate with each other to maintain dynamic balance. Once the tension of a certain part of the nerve is too strong or too weak, the two lose balance, and the human body will have pathological changes and get sick. Qigong training reduces the human body's stress to the outside world, weakens the activities of various tissues and organs, reduces the nerve impulses sent to the nerve center, and keeps the nerve center in a state of protective inhibition, which is conducive to the balance and coordination of the vegetative nerves, so as to eliminate some pathological changes and enhance human health.
When relaxing and resting, the heart rate slows down, the body's oxygen consumption decreases, and the energy metabolism also decreases, so that all parts of the body can re store energy and accumulate energy. Practicing Qigong is an effective energy storage process.
When practicing Qigong, the real Qi moves in the body, which has a good regulating effect on the function of internal organs. The breathing method emphasized in practicing Qigong also plays a similar role in massaging various organs. When Qi accumulates in the small abdomen, it can promote the blood circulation of the small intestine, thus improving and enhancing the intestinal absorption function.
When practicing Qigong, because the heart rate slows down and the surrounding blood vessels dilate, it can improve the hemodynamic response, reduce the burden on the heart, improve the coronary circulation and myocardial metabolism, regulate the fat metabolism, improve the anticoagulation ability, and improve the cardiovascular function. For people with hypertension, their blood pressure begins to drop after 5 minutes of practice. After 30 minutes, they can reach the drug-induced level of blood pressure. Long term practice helps to reduce blood pressure.
Qigong is a popular exercise method among the elderly at present. For the elderly, when their body functions are gradually declining, they often practice qigong, which will help them to effectively regulate their body and slow down their aging progress.
