Exercise And Chinese Medicine (Part 1 of 5) ...

Part 1 of 5 articles on exercise and Chinese Medicine ...
Picture
There are three main categories regarding exercise that people usually fit into; those who do very little or none at all, those who do moderate exercise and those who partake in strenuous exercise.
 
Chinese and Eastern Medicines strongly differ from the current Western view of exercise.

They believe that doing too much exercise or doing more intense exercise like running and aerobics can be unhealthy for the body and mind.

They feel that too much exercise uses up and weakens resources such as energy, nutrients and hormones in the body.

This can take them away from the vital organs that need them in order to stay strong and healthy…

Let’s start this blog post by taking a look at Western exercise…
 
There are different intensities of exercise in the West, from moderate paced walking to intense running.
 
In this article, we will concentrate more on the strenuous activities that are popular in the West; like running, aerobics and competitive sports.

That is anything that gets your heart thumping, pulse racing or your lungs panting hard for more than a short period of time. Or that breaks you out into a strong sweat.

 
In terms of health, there are benefits you can get from intense exercise, such as increases in circulation and a reduced risk in cancer. But these can also be achieved by more moderate exercise.
 
So the question becomes, should we really be doing hard intense exercises ?

Well let’s take a look at a few problems it can cause and see whether it is still worth it…

Is Western exercise really that effective for weight loss ? …
 

Something strange has happened in the West over the last few decades. Since gyms became popular, obesity levels have sky rocketed. It is claimed that exercise is great for weight loss, yet the results produced in our society seem to say the opposite.
 
A study by a team at the Louisiana University of 464 overweight women, who were assigned different levels of exercise for six months, found that the group who exercised the most did not lose significantly more weight than the other groups who did less.

Another study by researchers at the University Of Leeds published in the Journal Of Public Health Nutrition came to similar conclusions.

 
So what’s going on? ...

Lack of exercise.
 

 
We have seen how doing too much can weaken, wear out and damage your body in many ways, but so too can a lack of movement and activity lead to many problems and illnesses.
 
If you do nothing at all, organs start to become weak and things start to slow down and accumulate in the body. This can cause it to become blocked and stagnant on the inside. The heart and other organs will find it more difficult to do their jobs and will face a heavier workload and burden from this excess...

The right types of exercise…
 

If you ever visit China, you will notice that the parks are filled with people in the early hours of the morning. In them you will see the people perform many different types of activities. Above all else they love to do moderate and gentle exercises. You won’t see many sweaty and strained faces or puffing and panting individuals among the crowds. The Chinese exercise more frequently with less intensity, spending thirty minutes to an hour doing more easy going, less strenuous movements.
 
These moderate activities do many things in the body…

It affects both serious competitive athletes and the general public who may be doing their everyday jobs and then pushing themselves too hard running or in the gym or at aerobic classes in the evenings.
