Practicing tai chi fighting covid-19
Boosting Immunity is the only weapon
The rapid spread of novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has sparked alarm worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared a pandemic, and countries are grappling with a rise in confirmed cases. This is a disease that has no absolute treatment so far. The so-called cure is just improving the patient’s immunity to resist the virus. Immunity becomes the only weapon to fight the virus. So what can do to improve immunity?
Why Tai Chi?
Doctors in China who are on the front lines of infectious disease containment and mitigation are using Traditional Chinese Medicine and tai chi to boost patients’ immunity to fight COVID-19. A UCLA research study published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics in 2007 showed that practicing tai chi might have a strong effect on the immune system because it manages to bring exercise, relaxation, and meditation together in “one behavioral intervention” the researcher said. They theorized that tai chi enhances T cells (the white blood cells that fight infection) activity and in this way boost immunity.
Lets Practice
Tai Chi Chuan is an ancient martial art that can be used to fight the epidemic. Even in cases where people are confined at home, it is possible to practice some simple movements and help the immune system stay strong.
During this difficult time it is important to respect and adhere to local laws and regulations concerning social distancing and remaining isolated and/or quarantined until otherwise notified. The good news is that we have the unique opportunity to stay connected online. It is encouraged whenever possible to connection to a Yang Family Tai Chi Instructor through live streaming classes or downloadable classes online.
