Aging is an irresistible natural law. A series of intricate, subtle and irreversible changes from body to viscera and from physiology to psychology accelerate with age. Through Tai Ji Chuan's mechanism of keeping fit and nourishing the heart, practicing boxing can definitely delay the aging process, which has been proved by the practice of many boxers in ancient and modern times. In modern times, 70% of the deaths of many elderly people are psychosomatic diseases, and negative emotions such as tension, anxiety, anger and depression are the root causes of premature aging. It is the bane of "aging syndrome". You can quote some foreign experimental reports. The Hopkin Institute of Medicine in the United States conducted Tai Ji Chuan training for 62 overweight and hypertensive patients over 60 years old for 3 months, each time lasting 30-40 minutes. Compared with other groups, the degree of blood pressure reduction in Tai Ji Chuan group is equivalent to that in the middle group. But practicing boxing doesn't need special equipment, and it won't be too intense and daunting. Getting twice the result with half the effort is more acceptable to the elderly abroad.
Osteoporosis is the enemy of the elderly, and it is disabling. According to reports, the incidence of osteoporosis in people who beat Tai Ji Chuan all the year round was 36.6%, while that in the control group was as high as 63.8%. The incidence rate of Tai Ji Chuan group was 25.8%, and that of control group was 47.2%. Regular boxing practice can delay osteoporosis and prevent joint deformity, hunchback and fracture. After 15 weeks of Tai Ji Chuan training, the University of Atlanta found that the risk of falls was 49% lower than that of peers. Old people start with their feet. Long-term boxing practice can really slow down, so that old people can keep their balance in action and not fall easily.
There are also many reports on the improvement of symptoms of senile diseases in Tai Ji Chuan. Hypertension, diabetes, etc. They are all senile diseases that come with age, and will further accelerate aging. It is best to delay aging from middle age. Of course, starting to practice boxing in adolescence will have a better effect and will definitely delay the arrival of aging.
