Practicing Tai Chi can cure insomnia

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that practicing Tai Chi can strengthen the kidney's function of storing and preserving sperm, and can regulate the endocrine system. Therefore, by practicing Tai Chi, you can not only improve impotence, spermatorrhea, and soreness of the waist and legs, but also improve insomnia, nightmares and other symptoms caused by physical weakness and kidney deficiency, and improve sleep quality.

The practice of Tai Chi, also known as "abdominal breathing", increases the volume of the chest cavity, increases the negative pressure in the chest cavity, decreases the pressure in the superior and inferior vena cava, and accelerates blood return through changes in abdominal pressure. Due to the regular increase and decrease of abdominal pressure, the activity of abdominal organs is enhanced, which improves the blood circulation of the digestive tract, promotes the digestive and absorption function of the digestive tract, and prevents constipation.

Scientific research shows that the cyclical contraction and relaxation of skeletal muscles throughout the body when practicing Tai Chi can enhance blood circulation. More importantly, muscle movement can cause reflex dilation of coronary arteries, increase the opening of myocardial capillaries, provide sufficient oxygen supply, strengthen myocardial nutrition, improve contractile function, and at the same time, the capillary network stored in the skin, muscles, and internal organs throughout the body expands, leading to a drop in blood pressure, which can effectively prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular emergencies at night.
