When people reach middle age, organs will begin to age, and when people reach old age, organs will age or get sick. One of the main reasons is that blood circulation is blocked. For example, high cholesterol, hyperlipidemia, high blood viscosity and atherosclerosis can cause arteriosclerosis and poor blood circulation, which belong to the category of qi stagnation and blood stasis in traditional Chinese medicine. Practicing qigong can reduce people's blood viscosity, cholesterol and blood lipid; It can enhance the function of human internal organs and delay the aging of human internal organs.
2. Practicing Qi can improve people's immunity.
After practicing Qigong to a certain extent, body fluids in the mouth increase, and saliva contains a variety of immune cells, which can enhance people's immunity. Through scientific research and testing, it is found that compared with the control group who does not practice Qigong, people in Qigong group have more immune cells in their blood and their immune ability is enhanced. These experiments can prove that there is a scientific basis for people to reduce colds, infections and diseases of the elderly by practicing Qi.
3. Promote qi, promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, and improve human blood circulation.
Through scientific experiments, it is observed that the nail fold microcirculation of exercisers has improved. Compared with before Qigong, the capillary loops of nailfold increased and the open loops increased, indicating that practicing Qigong is beneficial to human blood circulation. The improvement of human blood circulation can prevent many diseases, such as coronary heart disease, cerebral thrombosis and cerebral blood supply insufficiency. At the same time, practicing Qigong can also improve the physiological state of organs that have formed blood stasis, such as myocardial infarction, cerebral thrombosis and early cirrhosis.
4. The function of practicing qi is to dredge meridians and drive away evil spirits.
Many qigong practitioners have experienced the reaction of qi rushing to the focus. For example, when patients with headache are practicing, they will feel swollen and jump when qi passes through meridians. When the meridian passes, some people will obviously feel a warm current passing along the meridian, and the headache will disappear. People who have been practicing for a long time without diseases have more channels to be unblocked when using instruments (meridian detectors) than those who do not practice Qigong or those who are sick, which shows that practice can make the channels more unblocked. There are many channels and collaterals blocked by patients. Through practice, the meridians can be gradually opened part by part, so that people's diseases will be cured.
