Baduanjin belongs to health qigong, which is a gymnastics exercise method to regulate the qi and blood of viscera, restore metabolic function and strengthen the body. Its exercise intensity is not great, and it is suitable for men, women and children. However, women should pay attention to the following points when exercising, so as not to damage their health:
1. After practicing Baduanjin, you can't take a bath immediately, especially a cold bath, because your body sweats a lot and your pores are open at this time, so as not to catch cold.
2. During menstruation, if women have discomfort such as menstrual pain, it is not appropriate to practice Baduanjin, and it is best to rest so as not to aggravate menstrual discomfort.
3. Don't eat immediately after eight sessions of exercise, which may cause gastrointestinal dysfunction, vomiting and indigestion.
4. Don't exercise Baduanjin excessively on an empty stomach to avoid hypoglycemia.
Why don't you practice Baduanjin in the afternoon? You can also practice Baduanjin after noon.
There is no scientific basis for online saying that Baduanjin is not practiced after noon, mainly because Baduanjin is popular among middle-aged and elderly people, who are generally early risers. Most of their exercise time is between 6 am and 9 am, so almost no one exercises after noon, so there is a misinformation that Baduanjin is not practiced after noon.
But now many young people love to exercise Baduanjin, but they have little time in the morning and have to work and study during the day. Only when you are free at night, it is also possible to exercise Baduanjin at night, which can achieve the purpose of strengthening the body and preventing and treating diseases.
Is it normal to lose weight soon after practicing Baduanjin? This is not normal.
Although practicing Baduanjin also belongs to exercise, daily exercise can consume a certain amount of calories, increase metabolism and help the body lose weight, but its exercise intensity is not great. An hour's exercise burns about 300 calories, which is not as fast as jumping aerobics, jogging and swimming. If a person loses weight very quickly after practicing Ba Duan Jin without dieting, it may be related to some diseases, such as diabetes and hyperthyroidism.
How long it takes to practice Ba Duan Jin to get through the meridians varies from person to person, and you can feel it yourself slowly.
Baduanjin belongs to health qigong, not martial arts, and can't achieve the goal of "opening up the second pulse of Ren Du and practicing peerless martial arts". Mainly through the adjustment of breathing, physical activity and consciousness, the effects of strengthening the body, enhancing metabolism and regulating meridians and qi and blood can be achieved.
Chinese medicine believes that the blockage of human meridians is easy to cause disease. After opening the channels and collaterals, it can dispel all kinds of evil spirits such as wind, cold, dampness, phlegm and silt, so that qi, blood and various nutrients can run normally in the channels and collaterals, reach human internal organs, and maintain the energy balance of limbs and five senses and nine orifices, so that you will feel relaxed and not easily get sick. In other words, when practicing Baduanjin, I feel better.
