Tai Ji Chuan is a typical representative of China's traditional culture, the essence of China's traditional philosophy and a wonderful flower in the treasure house of Chinese Wushu. Here's what I've arranged for you: the four functions of Tai Ji Chuan. Welcome to read!
Briefly describe the four functions of Tai Ji Chuan.
1, improve the nervous system
The function of the nervous system is to regulate the functional activities of all organs in the whole body and maintain the integrity and unity of the human body to meet the needs of changes in the external environment.
Through the coordination of thinking, breathing and action, Tai Ji Chuan promotes the improvement of the function of brain nerve cells and coordinates the process of excitation and inhibition of human nervous system, which has a good preventive and therapeutic effect on mental trauma and nervous system diseases, such as neurasthenia, insomnia and hypertension.
2. Enhance heart function, improve circulatory system and expand vital capacity.
Heart disease is the number one killer in the world. At present, there is no specific treatment for this disease in western medicine. Tai Ji Chuan can prevent heart disease, because Tai Ji Chuan is different from other sports.
Stretch slowly to relax the muscles of the whole body, so that the heart can get sufficient blood supply, but it will not accelerate the heart rhythm and increase the burden on the heart; Tai Ji Chuan breathes through a slow, slender, even abdomen.
It can make lungs full of oxygen, make intestines and stomach get peristalsis exercise, and enhance digestion and excretion functions. Therefore, people often practice Tai Ji Chuan to prevent and treat heart diseases, lung diseases, stomach diseases, constipation and hemorrhoids.
3. Improve people's balance ability and prevent osteoporosis.
One of the common accidents in the elderly is the femoral neck fracture caused by imbalance. Why is this the result? This is because of the decrease of bone calcium and osteoporosis in the elderly.
In Tai Ji Chuan's sports, some movements are devoted to balance ability, and the balance ability of the practitioners is fully exercised. When practicing Tai Ji Chuan, one leg often supports the weight of the whole body, and the stress on the leg increases, so does the calcium content of the bone, and the bone becomes very strong. Therefore, people who often practice Tai Ji Chuan are less likely to break.
4. It has a bodybuilding effect.
Tai Ji Chuan's body posture requirements, such as hanging himself, sinking his shoulders and lowering his elbows, pulling his chest out, closing his abdomen and hips, and waist rotation during practice, enable the practitioner to fully exercise his whole body muscles and maintain a good figure.
Tai Chi is helpful to sleep.
Traditional Chinese medicine research shows that practicing Tai Ji Chuan can enhance the kidney's function of storing and preserving sperm and regulate the endocrine system. Therefore, practicing Tai Ji Chuan can not only improve impotence, nocturnal emission, waist and leg pain, but also improve insomnia and dreaminess caused by physical deficiency and kidney deficiency, and obviously improve sleep quality.
Tai Ji Chuan's movement, that is, "abdominal breathing", through the change of abdominal pressure, increases the volume of chest cavity, increases the negative pressure of chest cavity, reduces the pressure of superior and inferior vena cava, and accelerates the blood return.
Due to the regular increase and decrease of abdominal pressure, the activity of abdominal internal organs is strengthened, which improves the blood circulation of digestive tract, promotes the digestion and absorption function of digestive tract and prevents constipation. Scientific research shows that the periodic contraction and relaxation of skeletal muscle in Tai Ji Chuan can strengthen blood circulation.
What's important is that due to muscle movement, coronary artery can be reflexively dilated, myocardial capillaries can be opened more, oxygen supply is sufficient, myocardial nutrition is enhanced, and contraction function is improved. At the same time, the capillary network stored in the skin, muscles and internal organs of the whole body can expand, leading to a drop in blood pressure, which can effectively prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular emergencies at night.
When practicing Tai Chi, it is required to completely relax the body and calm down to study, which can relieve our nervous spirit.
It can be seen that sleeping and practicing Tai Ji Chuan can not only effectively improve sleep, but also prevent and treat various diseases, which is an excellent health care method for middle-aged and elderly people.
Five advantages of Tai Ji Chuan.
1, comprehensive exercise
Tai Ji Chuan's movements have several extremely important characteristics, such as softness, slowness, coherence, arc (that is, circular motion) and immobility, which can never be ignored in exercise.
Here, we can only prove its comprehensive exercise function with the characteristics of immobility. As we all know, swimming is a sport that requires the joint movement of hands, feet and body, and has been recognized as one of the sports with comprehensive exercise effects.
When Tai Ji Chuan is exercising, all parts of his body that can move need to participate in activities, so he can't stop. Although its amount of exercise is smaller than swimming, it is even worse in the coordination and detail of whole body movements. It can be seen that Tai Ji Chuan has the advantage of comprehensive exercise.
Tai Ji Chuan's study can not only cultivate our sense of physical coordination, but also strengthen our body, which has the characteristics of yoga and general exercise.
2, both internal and external repair.
When Tai Ji Chuan is exercising, he not only has all kinds of gentle movements in muscle activities, but also does breathing and diaphragm movements to promote the functional activities of the heart, lungs, intestines, stomach and other internal organs.
In addition, because every movement is guided by consciousness, it makes people concentrate and can't accommodate other thoughts. Even the more they practice, the purer and quieter they are (that is, the mood is unusually quiet), which can also make the central nervous system better regulated.
This exercise method, on the one hand, has the benefits of muscle activity in general exercise, on the other hand, it absorbs the benefits of meditation to regulate breath and regulate the body, so it can have the advantages of both internal and external considerations.
3. Strong interest
Tai Chi Chuan's movements are all circular or arc-shaped, so it's not easy to do circular movements when you just practice shelves, and of course it's not so interesting. But after practice, the more you practice, the more familiar you become; With the increase of roundness, there will be a strong interest.
Finally, if we can take advantage of the changes of reality and excess and exercise pranayama in circular exercise, its interest will be more endless. A strong interest can improve exercise mood and promote health, which is one of the advantages of Tai Ji Chuan.
So if you want to learn Tai Ji Chuan well, you need to cultivate your own interest, not practice boxing for the sake of practicing boxing.
4, Tao Yang temperament
Tai Ji Chuan's movements require that there should be rigidity in softness, lightness in lightness, stillness in movement and stillness in consciousness, so that the impatient or unresponsive practitioners can be influenced invisibly and correct their original habits. Because Tai Ji Chuan, on the one hand, pay attention to sensitivity, on the other hand, pay attention to calm, can restrain impetuous.
5. Everyone can practice
Tai Ji Chuan's movements are soft and slow, and the boxing style is not difficult to learn. Moreover, the movement can meet the different requirements of patients (except patients with hemoptysis or bleeding) more or less according to their characteristics, so it can help patients achieve remarkable results in restoring and enhancing functional activities.
As the saying goes, if you want to be healthy, you should pay attention to the laws of daily life and diet. In addition to strengthening nutrition, you should also insist on physical activity. Tai Ji Chuan is a good exercise.
