Qigongfor Health and Longevity

The star of theTV show "The Doctor Oz Show" stated, "If you want to be healthy andlive to 100, do Qigong." Dr. Oz was not just makingwild speculations. Recent research has found a way to predict andincrease your life span. Tips of chromosomes are called telomeres. These protective caps, made of repetitive chunks of DNA, keep the rest of thegene-laden chromosomes from disastrously unraveling. Telomeres length hasbeen linked to life span. Longer telomeres have been associated with longerlives and vice versa. A cell's telomeres shorten a bit each time that thecell divides. Telomereslength is decreased by stress and can be increased by reducing stress!

Qigong (Chi Kung)is a Chinese medical therapy thousands of years old. It consists ofmental as well as physical maneuvering which simultaneously adjust bodyposture, breathing, and the mind. Qigong for health is not strenuous andcan even be performed by handicapped people. It can be done anywhere, atany time, and requires no special clothing or equipment. Qigong ispracticed by millions of people worldwide.

Conferences onthe scientific study of Qigong have been held in the U.S. and China. Qigong hasbeen shown to improve respiration, induce the relaxation response, cause favorablechanges in blood chemistry, and produce changes in EEG indicating improvedmental states. Clinical trials have shown the efficacy of Qigong in reducing stress , delaying aging effects,prolonging life, preventing illness and curing many chronic diseases includingparalysis and cancer.

One scientific survey of aged practitionersrevealed that they were in good health and appeared younger than a second groupof non-practitioners. Their average blood pressure was normal and 93% hadnormal hearing and good memories. The non-practicing elders had a higheraverage blood pressure, 25% had hypertension, 50% had vision problems, 76%had hearing problems and 35% had lost their ability towork. After doing Qigong for 5 months, 52% of them could work& made significant physiological improvements.
