I. Physiological benefits

Tai Ji Chuan in China has a long history. In the process of practicing Tai Ji Chuan, combining the traditional guiding method and breathing method, we emphasize the close cooperation of physical training, gas training and psychological training. China residents have had the habit of practicing Tai Ji Chuan since ancient times, so as to achieve the purpose of keeping fit. Therefore, experts remind some people who are often ill that they should take an active part in Tai Ji Chuan's exercises. The best time to practice should be in the morning. At this time, not only the air is good, but also the human body is very suitable for practicing Tai Ji Chuan's state, so practicing at this time can get twice the result with half the effort.

By practicing Tai Ji Chuan, we can effectively exercise our muscles, and at the same time play a very good role in relaxing muscles and activating collaterals. In addition, we can massage the internal organs through the coordination of breathing and movements while practicing, so as to strengthen our physique and improve our disease resistance, which are very important for the elderly.

Second, improve flexibility.

In the process of practicing Tai Ji Chuan constantly, all our muscles can be effectively exercised, and long-term exercise can effectively enhance our muscle endurance. Under normal circumstances, Tai Ji Chuan usually walks slowly in circles and arcs, with leg bending and semi-squatting movements, and then the center of gravity changes alternately. This way can play a good exercise for our whole human body. Tai Ji Chuan's movements are mainly hugging, bending and twisting, which can improve our muscle strength and endurance, and will improve the flexibility of the human body in the long run.

When playing Tai Ji Chuan, combined with multi-directional and large-scale activities, such as downward movement and kicking, it can not only improve the flexibility of muscles, but also improve the flexibility of all joints.

Third, improve cardiopulmonary function.

Practicing playing Tai Ji Chuan in daily life can also help the elderly to effectively improve their cardiopulmonary function. Usually, the heart and lung function of the elderly is poor, which is also the reason why the elderly are often prone to illness. As long as you play Tai Ji Chuan more in your daily life, you can help the elderly to enhance their cardiopulmonary function quickly and effectively. This is because when practicing Tai Ji Chuan, we should keep breathing naturally and firmly. Through deep, long, thin, slow and even abdominal breathing during the practice, we can effectively enhance the chest capacity, increase the times of oxygen inhalation and carbon respiration, and thus relatively improve the oxygen utilization rate of various organs.

Besides, it usually takes a long time to practice Tai Ji Chuan. Twenty-four Tai Ji Chuan for more than 20 minutes four times in a row can help us train and improve our cardiopulmonary function. Especially some elderly people with poor cardiopulmonary function should know the benefits of playing Tai Ji Chuan to improve immunity.

Fourth, the treatment of digestive tract diseases

In the research, it is found that frequent contact with Tai Ji Chuan can also help us to effectively treat various digestive tract diseases. This is because all joints, muscles and bones of our human body will pull, entangle, squeeze and relax each other during practice, and our internal organs will also massage themselves because of abdominal breathing (abdomen is solid and chest is solid). At the same time, the ascending and descending range of diaphragm increases during exercise, which has a positive stimulating effect on intestinal peristalsis, thus playing a role in treating and improving digestive function.

In the face of the benefits of Tai Chi, these are the most basic benefits. As long as you keep exercising for a long time, the benefits are countless. So for the elderly, playing Tai Ji Chuan is the oldest and most effective way to keep fit.
