太极拳是老年人健体强身的首选项目。它既修心,又练身,可达心身双修。笔者多年习练太极拳,深得其益。但练拳健身要讲究方法,否则反受伤害。我的体会是,要做到十不要。 一不要憋气。“气以直养而无害”,是谓呼吸应循自然。老年人练拳主要是“自然呼吸”,也要自然顺势,不可硬压憋气。憋气、努气,气血不畅,气滞于胸,易得肺炸之病。 Tai Chi is the preferred fitness for the elderly. It is both self-cultivation, and practice, up to mind and body repair. I practice tai chi for many years, won its benefit. But practice fitness should pay attention to methods, or against injury. My experience is, do not do ten. Do not hold your breath “Gas to be straight and harmless”, is that breathing should be natural. Older practice boxing is “natural breathing”, but also natural homeopathic, not hard pressure suffocating. Hold your breath, try your luck, poor blood, qi stagnation in the chest, easy to get the disease of lung-fried.
