Matters needing attention in practicing health qigong:
For many elderly people, practicing Qigong is a good exercise, which is very effective for family members to recuperate diseases. You must pay attention after practicing Qigong, otherwise your practice may be useless and threaten your health. If the elderly feel that there is no suitable exercise for them, Qigong is a good choice. Don't squat and rest: If you squat and rest immediately after exercise, it will hinder the blood return of lower limbs. Affect blood circulation and deepen physical fatigue. In severe cases, gravity shock will occur. Therefore, after each exercise, we should adjust the breathing rhythm, walk and swing our arms, do some relaxation and adjustment activities, and promote the blood of limbs to return to the heart, so as to pay off the "oxygen debt", speed up physical recovery and eliminate fatigue.
Don't be greedy for cold drinks: you will often sweat after exercise. With the consumption of a lot of water, I will always feel thirsty after exercise and need to drink water. But at this time, the digestive system of human body is still in a state of inhibition and its function is low. Chinese medicine believes that if you drink a lot of cold drinks for a period of time, it is easy to cause gastrointestinal spasm, abdominal pain and diarrhea, and induce gastrointestinal diseases.
It is not suitable to eat immediately: during exercise, especially during strenuous exercise, the motor nerve center is in a state of high excitement. Under its influence, the parasympathetic nervous system, which manages the activities of internal organs, strengthens the inhibition of digestive system activities. At the same time, in the process of exercise, the whole body blood is redistributed, the demand for exercise organs is more concentrated, and the supply of organs in abdominal cavity is relatively reduced. The above factors weaken the peristalsis of gastrointestinal tract and greatly reduce the secretion of various digestive glands. It takes 20-30 minutes to recover after the exercise. If you eat in a hurry, it will increase the burden on the digestive organs, cause dysfunction and even cause many diseases.
It is not advisable to suddenly reduce body temperature: during exercise, blood vessels on the body surface dilate, body temperature rises, pores relax, and perspiration increases. If you enter the air-conditioned room immediately after exercise, or take a cold nap at the tuyere, or use a cold water punch to cool down, your skin will be tight and sweaty, causing physiological disorders such as body temperature regulation and decreased immune function, which will lead to diseases such as colds, diarrhea and asthma.
Avoid smoking: smoking after exercise, the air inhaled into the lungs is mixed with a lot of smoke, on the one hand, in addition to reducing the oxygen content, it is not conducive to paying off the "oxygen debt" and it is difficult to eliminate physical fatigue; On the other hand, when the human body inhales this foggy air, it will affect the gas exchange in the alveoli of the human body, resulting in chest tightness, asthma, dyspnea, dizziness, fatigue and other symptoms due to insufficient oxygen supply after exercise.
