The benefits of practicing qigong can not only strengthen the body, but also cultivate one's self-cultivation. This is a good health exercise. But we need to know some qigong taboos so as not to do harm to our health. Specifically, there are eight taboos.

Eight taboos of qigong health preservation

Taboo 1: Sit and rest.

If you squat down and rest immediately after exercise, it will hinder the blood return of lower limbs. Affect blood circulation and deepen physical fatigue. In severe cases, gravity shock will occur.

Therefore, after each exercise, we should adjust the breathing rhythm, walk and swing our arms, do some relaxation and adjustment activities, and promote the blood of limbs to return to the heart, so as to pay off the "oxygen debt", speed up physical recovery and eliminate fatigue.

Taboo 2: Eat immediately.

When doing exercise, especially strenuous exercise, the motor nerve center of the human body will be in a state of high excitement.

Under its influence, the parasympathetic nervous system, which manages the activities of internal organs, strengthens the inhibition of digestive system activities. At the same time, in the process of exercise, the whole body blood is redistributed, the demand for exercise organs is more concentrated, and the supply of organs in abdominal cavity is relatively reduced.

The above factors weaken the peristalsis of gastrointestinal tract and greatly reduce the secretion of various digestive glands. It takes 20-30 minutes to recover after the exercise. If you eat in a hurry, it will increase the burden on the digestive organs, cause dysfunction and even cause many diseases.

Taboo 3: eat cold drinks

I often sweat after exercise. With the consumption of a lot of water, I always feel thirsty after exercise and need to drink water urgently. But at this time, the digestive system of human body is still in a state of inhibition and its function is low.

Chinese medicine believes that if you drink a lot of cold drinks for a period of time, it will easily cause symptoms such as gastrointestinal spasm, abdominal pain and diarrhea, and may induce gastrointestinal diseases.

Taboo 4: using martial arts and acrobatic formulas indiscriminately.

Changing one's study from time to time and misusing formulas will also cause deviations. Different diseases have different formulas. According to the condition and the progress of kung fu, it is not appropriate to talk about it too early, which will increase the burden on patients. At the same time, we should pay attention to put an end to formulas with superstitious colors.

Don't practice martial arts when you are angry, sad, dramatic or sad. When you are happy, angry, worried, thinking, sad, afraid and surprised, your spirit is not easy to concentrate and prone to deviation.

Taboo 5: Sudden drop in body temperature

During exercise, blood vessels on the body surface dilate, body temperature rises, pores relax, and perspiration increases. If you enter the air-conditioned room immediately after exercise, or take a cold nap at the tuyere, or use a cold water punch to cool down, your skin will be tight and sweaty, causing physiological disorders such as body temperature regulation and decreased immune function, which will lead to diseases such as colds, diarrhea and asthma.

Taboo 6: Wear tights.

Take off your clothes, dentures, watches, jewelry, glasses, etc. before practice. , so as not to affect the quiet and qi and blood operation. Indoor air circulation, it is forbidden to sit (stand) when the wind blows, so as not to catch cold and increase new diseases. Avoid the weather around the ring. Storms and lightning have an impact on practice, so stop practicing at the right time.

Taboo 7: Smoking.

Smoking after exercise, the air inhaled into the lungs is mixed with a lot of smoke. On the one hand, besides reducing the oxygen content, it is not conducive to paying off the "oxygen debt" and it is difficult to eliminate physical fatigue.

On the other hand, when the human body inhales this foggy air, it will affect the gas exchange in the alveoli of the human body, resulting in chest tightness, asthma, dyspnea, dizziness, fatigue and other symptoms due to insufficient oxygen supply after exercise.

Taboo 8: "Omit" to relax and organize activities.

Relaxation and finishing activities can not only make athletes' cerebral cortex excited, but also accelerate their heartbeat and breathing frequency. They can also restore them to a quiet state before exercise through appropriate relaxation exercises such as bare-handed exercises, walking, relaxation massage and breathing rhythm relaxation.

But also help to restore muscle fatigue, reduce the discomfort of acid swelling, and avoid dizziness, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, dizziness and other adverse phenomena after exercise and fitness.

Benefits of practicing qigong for middle-aged and elderly people

Practicing Qigong is a unique self-exercise method.

It makes people's mental activity, visceral tissue movement and limb movement cooperate with each other, mobilizes the movement of "true qi" in the body, and slowly and step by step adjusts and strengthens the physiological function of the human body through active self-regulation, thus achieving the purposes of strengthening the body, preventing and treating diseases and prolonging life.

Most diseases of human body are caused by the activity disorder of higher nerve center. Practicing qigong can directly regulate health care.

Practicing qigong can also eliminate people's emotions.

If a person is in a state of mental tension and great pressure for a long time, it will cause a series of pathological changes, leading to hypertension, peptic ulcer, neurasthenia and other diseases.

The function of practicing qi is to eliminate the tension and stress state of the brain, so that the excitement focus of the cerebral cortex enters a state of inhibition, thus eliminating the pathophysiological basis of the disease and maintaining good health.

Practicing qigong can improve hemodynamic response and help lower blood pressure.

Because the heart rate slows down and peripheral blood vessels relax, practicing Qigong can improve hemodynamic response, reduce the burden on the heart, improve coronary circulation and myocardial metabolism, regulate fat metabolism and improve anticoagulation ability, thus improving cardiovascular function.
