The pace of life in modern society is getting faster and faster, which brings more and more psychological tension to people. A common reaction to nervousness is fatigue. People who are in a state of fatigue are often mentally exhausted and their muscles are slack. Qigong exercise can effectively relieve and restore the excessive excitement of the nervous system, quickly eliminate physical fatigue, and make people energetic when doing things. Vitality is a symbol of youth, and youth is a symbol of beauty. The image of clear-headed, energetic and quick thinking is an important aspect of human beauty.
2. Cultivate true qi and resist premature aging. An important function of qigong exercise is to cultivate true qi. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that people's facial features and skin are the external reflection and expression of the qi of the five internal organs. Full of qi and blood, the five internal organs are full of qi and blood, and the external performance of the five internal organs is bound to be full of vitality and moisture, showing a healthy beauty. For example, there is a saying in the theory of traditional Chinese medicine that "the liver begins to improve eyesight", and the liver qi is sufficient, so the eyes are clear. Through qigong exercise, the true qi will be more and more abundant, and the disease resistance will be enhanced, thus avoiding premature aging caused by various diseases and staying young forever.

Experimental observation shows that qigong exercise can improve the microcirculation function of the whole body, make more capillaries open, speed up the blood flow in the blood vessels, thus promoting tissue metabolism, increasing skin nutrition, improving skin tissue and becoming delicate and moist. In addition, Qigong can also prevent skin from aging and losing elasticity and beautify the skin by regulating the function of endocrine system.
4. Qigong can beautify people's temperament and cultivate people's temperament. True beauty is the harmonious unity of face and whole body, form and god. Among them, people's mental outlook, temperament, demeanor, etc. It is the internal expression of external form. The means of "adjusting one's mind" in qigong exercise not only includes teaching people to keep calm, but also plays an important role in cultivating temperament. Paying attention to self-cultivation at ordinary times can make exercisers achieve the balance between body and mind and the external environment, feel comfortable, be open-minded and behave magnanimously.
2. People who are not suitable for practicing Qigong
1. People with personality defects: people who care too much about their health, are sensitive and suspicious, are withdrawn and easily excited, are usually introverted and cautious, or insist on their own opinions, and are fond of self-suggestion. Such people are prone to deviation in practice.
2. For practicing three times and four times: Be sure to compare carefully before practicing and choose the appropriate method. Once you decide, you should concentrate on practicing. You can't practice several skills at the same time, and you can't practice one today and one tomorrow. It is disturbing that several methods of achievement influence each other or change. It will not only affect the training effect, but also easily cause confusion and deviation.
3. People with mental disorder tendency: If the elderly have had or still have symptoms of mental disorder, depression or dementia from time to time, it is not appropriate to practice Qigong. Because after practicing meditation, mental disorders in the body are easily aroused, forming a focus of excitement in the cerebral cortex, which will make practitioners mentally abnormal and unable to return to a relatively normal state before independent practice.
4. People with potential mental illness: people who have suffered from mental illness in their immediate family, or those who have suffered from schizophrenia, hysteria, manic depression, or those with "suggestive" personality characteristics are generally not suitable for practicing Qigong. People with this psychological quality are most likely to induce psychological barriers during practice. Even if you get well, it is easy to deviate from practice again.
5. Long-term psychological depression: in the quiet state of practice, due to the release of inner depression, emotional excitement is easy to occur, and individual patients are also prone to cognitive, emotional and behavioral disorders, leading to mental disorders.
