Tai Chi for Health and for Science
Tai Chi is not only a mere form of exercise. It can look like that but in reality and based on the principles of every movement, it is more than what meets the eye. Tai Chi focuses on a lot of things but most especially on two main factors: health and science.
Health
Tai Chi is a Chinese tradition carried down from generation to generation that is done by slow-flowing moves and balance shifting that strengthens the legs. While doing so, it conditions the ligaments and tendons of the knees, hips, and ankles. It will increase the range of a person’s motion and make him or her more resilient and decrease the tendency to be prone to pain and muscle spasms.
This shift in constant weight trains the body to balance and be more aware of its own status. It will lead to a more confident smoothness of movement that is practiced in the form and can be incorporated into everyday living. Tai Chi, through its physical exercises, will readily focus the mind and condition the body. Practicing Tai Chi for 15 to 20 minutes will dissipate stress and reduce any stress-related factors that will help increase stamina and strengthen the will and body.
People in the medical field recognize the advantages of practicing Tai Chi. Some of the benefits that were said – reduce risk of hypertension, increase oxygen intake and utilization that can lead to more efficient breathing, strengthens cardiovascular stamina, increase strength of joints and range of motion, the legs and knees more powerful, and flexibility is increased. Stress hormones are reduced; making immunity improve and will heighten states of your mood.
Science
Science has discovered more benefits derived from being engaged in Tai Chi. By studying the smallest living organism inside our body, it is concluded that Tai Chi works through atoms and molecules inside and out. It has become a major exploration to research what Tai Chi can and cannot do to our bodies.
Tai Chi conditions the different parts of the body. It cultivates certain energy that travels through the sleeves of every muscle and nerve and those that come in between like films that are responsible for supporting and separating the different organs. Tai Chi reduces every cross-linking chemical that can contribute cells to rust which may result in malfunctioning or strictly dying.
Aside from that, Tai Chi serves as a communicating factor for the relationship of organs to be more intimate. If Tai Chi is practiced at a certain level of discipline, it will by then, be able to precipitate healthy changes deep inside the body like flushing out blood and making it flow freely around the vessels without the slightest fear of having a heart attack.
At the age of 50, physical strength declines. But with the help of Tai Chi exercises, it makes the major muscles in the body and almost all joints produce the perfect rhythm thereafter. It primes the body and increases the legs for it to become more flexible and loose. Studies show that people who are in their 80s and 90s are less prone to falling and their blood pressure decreased upon practicing Tai Chi.
It is most advisable to practice Tai Chi in the early morning when the sun is expected to rise to be able to catch more vitamins from the freshness of sunlight.
