Young and Healthy Forever? Try Tai-chi

Chinese Tai-Chi exercises may have benefic effects on your health by increasing muscle resistance and self-confidence, according to American researchers. If you wish to maintain your health and strong bones even when you`re over sixty, try to include into your weekly workout a few Tai-Chi sessions. The highest benefit will be the reduction of the risk to suffer injuries or fractures.

Researchers compared the results from two groups of people with ages over seventy years old: one group that had for three months Tai-Chi exercises three times per week, and another group that didn`t followed a Tai-Chi workout at all. The experts concluded that the participants who had Tai-Chi exercises showed a remarkable increase of knees resistance, muscle strength, mobility, flexibility, and body balance.

The muscular mass is reducing with up to two percent per year after the age of sixty-five, according to another American study. In order to avoid this unwanted effect of the aging process, you may consider following Tai-Chi workouts.

Tai-Chi promotes a balanced lifestyle, is based on breath techniques, and you may keep your lungs healthy, especially if you have a stressful life or you`re a smoker.

Tai-Chi may also reduce the risk to suffer from cardiovascular diseases. This type of workout may be also efficient in case of people who cannot concentrate enough, or suffer from memory loss.

If you consider yourself an active person, willing to stay healthy and fit until old ages, it`s time to make changes to your lifestyle. One Tai-Chi session per week will make you look and feel great.

Chi Nei Tsang (Paperback)


Chi Nei Tsang (Paperback)


$33.95


An ancient Taoist system for detoxifying and rejuvenating the internal organs B?" Presents techniques to clear blockages in the body`s energy flow B?" Includes illustrated exercises to relieve common ailments, revitalize the organs, and enable readers to take charge of their own health and well-being B?" Focuses on the navel center, where negative emotions, stress, and illness accumulate The techniques of Chi Nei Tsang evolved in Asia during an era when few physicians were available and people had to know how to heal themselves. Many people today have symptoms that modern medicine is not able to cure because a physical source for the problem is not easily found. The energies of negative emotions, stress, and tension–all common in modern life–and the weight of past illness accumulate in the abdominal center, causing energy blockages and congestion. When this occurs, all vital functions stagnate and myriad problems arise. By practicing the techniques of Chi Nei Tsang, this stagnation is removed and the vital organs surrounding the navel center are detoxified and rejuvenated. Master Chia teaches readers how to avoid absorbing negative energies from others and take full charge of their health through the self-healing techniques of Chi Nei Tsang. He offers fully illustrated exercises that show how to detoxify the internal organs and clear the energy (chi) channels throughout the body. He also presents methods for balancing emotions, managing stress, and observing the body in order to recognize, ameliorate, and prevent maladies before they become a problem.
