Explore the Mechanism of Taiji(Tai Chi) Promoting Physical and Mental health

Abstract

This paper aims to explore the mechanisms by which Tai Chi affects physical and mental health, by reviewing relevant research and analyzing the role of Tai Chi in the musculoskeletal system, nervous system, endocrine system, and immune system. Tai Chi can relax the body’s muscles, promote blood circulation, alleviate pain and stress, improve the pattern of force generation and balance ability, and has a certain effect on relieving lumbar disc herniation. It can also regulate the release of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine, activate the parasympathetic nervous system, achieve deep relaxation, and reduce stress levels. Not to mention Tai Chi can mobilize the regulatory functions of the neuro-endocrine-immune system, affect the activity of immune cells and the levels of immunoglobulins, and have a positive impact on the immune system. In clinical applications, Tai Chi is suitable for the rehabilitation of various diseases and is particularly beneficial for the elderly and patients with chronic diseases. Future research should further explore its specific mechanisms, conduct large-scale clinical trials, and develop personalized training programs. In summary, Tai Chi has comprehensive benefits for physical and mental health and is recommended for long-term practice under proper guidance.
