Qigong (Qigong) The Art of Movement and Breath, for Sustainable Physical and Mental Health

Although heavy exercise improves body strength, "slow, soft and sober" exercise has equally healthy benefits.

Qigong (Qigong) is an ancient exercise science of China with a history of more than 2,000 years, combining slow and continuous movement, breath control, and meditation training, to promote body and mind balance.

Today, Qigong is popular worldwide as Mind-Body Exercise, and there is research to promote both physical and mental health, especially in the elderly and those in need of low-impact exercise.

What is Qigong?

Qigong (Qigong)

* "Qi" means life energy, according to Chinese medicine.

* "Gong" means continuous practice or development.

In the scientific perspective, qigong can be described as an exercise that helps develop the collaboration of

* Muscle system

* Nervous system

* Breathing system

* Cardiovascular system

* Balancing system

Through slow movement, coupled with rhythmic breathing and concentration.

Benefits of Qigong

❤️ Promote cardiovascular health.

Continuous movement in combination with deep breathing helps the circulatory system function better, reduces resting heart rate, and may help regulate blood pressure in some cases.

🫁 Optimize breathing.

Diaphragmatic Breathing increases oxygen exchange efficiency and improves relaxation.

🧠 Reduce stress and promote mental health.

Qigong training stimulates the Parasympathetic Nervous System, which is involved in rest and physical recovery, resulting in reduced stress, anxiety and improved sleep.

⚖️. Developing balance and reducing fall risk.

Slow movement and control posture increase awareness of body position (Proprioception) and neural coordination with muscles, which is very beneficial in older people.

💪 Strengthening the core muscles.

Despite not being a very vigorous exercise, qigong allows the trunk, back, hip, and leg core muscles to work continuously, affecting balance and better personality.

🦴 Increased joint flexibility

Movement during the natural movement of the joints (Range of Motion) reduces muscle stiffness, increases mobility, and reduces the risk of injury.

The main active muscle.

Main muscle (Primary)

* Core (Trunk Core Muscle)

* Gluteus (hip)

* Hip Muscles

* Quadriceps (front thigh)

Secondary muscle (Secondary)

* People with heart disease, lung disease or congenital disease should consult a doctor before starting a fitness program.

DCARE Tips 💡

"Qigong is not a competition, it is to train the body, breath and mind to work in harmony. Training for only 20-30 minutes a day regularly can enhance physical health, reduce stress, and increase quality of life in the long run."

Summary

Qigong is an exercise that combines movement, breath, and concentration, while not using much force, can help improve body balance, increase flexibility, reduce stress, and promote heart health. It is suitable for all ages, especially those seeking sustainable health care and low-impact exercise.
