Health care and health benefits of Taekwondo

Needless to say, health is the most precious asset to the human body. For the human body and the importance of maintaining health, the ancients believed that human body was obtained from their parents from head to toe, so people who did not ignore or harm their bodies were called filial sons.

　　They think that the body is not their own, but their parents'. Confucius said that parents care about the health of their children most. Therefore, maintaining their health to their children is love for their parents and a way of expression of filial piety to their parents.

　　So, one of the greatest sins for human beings is the harm of health.

　　In fact, nothing is more important than the body. If you are sick, your property, reputation, power, and beauty will lose your glory. Therefore, everyone should not ignore health management.

　　In order to show that Taekwondo plays an important role in health, the following is a paper about "Taekwondo and Health" published by Dr. Robert Essani, who is a doctor of medicine and a master of Taekwondo.

　　Taitbox Do exercise is different from weight exercise that shows strength. It does not regulate large and prominent muscles. Instead, it turns weak fat tissue into muscles, making the body light and agile.

　　The muscles with developed weight exercises open the gap between blood vessels. Since the number of blood vessels remains unchanged, new blood vessels cannot be replenished between the dilated blood vessels. The result is that it is difficult to eliminate excretion in the human body through oxygen inhalation and blood flow.

　　So, Mr. Brown, MD, proposed that unnecessary large muscles should be trained into flexible muscles, so that the body can get more blood and improve maximum staying strength and health.

　　Taitbox Do practice is to strengthen the muscles of the lower abdomen by kicking, dodging waist, one-hand attack or defense by pulling the other hand in the opposite direction. Moreover, by lifting and kicking, the muscles on the side waist and inner thighs are exercised.

　　The reason why Taekwon is particularly good for women is that as mentioned above, you can fully exercise your lower abdomen, waist and thighs, evenly develop muscles throughout the body, so that women can maintain youthful and beautiful.

　　Practicing Taekwondo can restore the sagging abdomen and waist of a woman after childbirth, as well as the muscles on the inner thighs, and has a unique effect on reshaping a healthy body and balanced body shape. In this way, Taekwondo is the most ideal martial arts to maintain health and female beauty.

　　Not only that, Taekwondo has the following benefits through scientific practice and extensive whole-body exercise, as Dr. Khbs, MD, said, increasing pulse and increasing the oxygen demand of the heart and lungs for a long time:

　　Smooth lung activity.

　　1. Dilate blood vessels, reduce blood flow resistance, and reduce blood pressure of the heart dilator.

　　2. Increase blood supply, especially increase red blood cells and hemoglobin.

　　3. Provide more oxygen to make the body tissue healthier.

　　4. Strengthen the heart and can resist any impact.

　　5. Make sleep stable and easily eliminate excretion.

　　6. Taekwondo not only increases muscle for thin people, but on the contrary, obese people reduce fat and restore normal weight. Taekwondo is different from general sports activities. Doing intense activities can consume 600 calories per hour, and reducing weight by 3,500 calories by pound. Therefore, if you practice for an hour a day, you can reduce one pound in a week.

　　Mr. McLouis, MD, pointed out that practicing taekwondo has the following benefits:

　　1. It is beneficial to developed and strong muscles.

　　2. Cultivate activity and the ability to cope with any difficulties.

　　3. Develop the ability to change direction.

　　4. Cultivate the ability to move the body from one location to another in a certain space.

　　5. Make joints, muscles and tendons more flexible and rhythmic.

　　6. Developed peripheral nerves and vision.

　　7. Cultivate concentration and eliminate distracting thoughts.

　　8. Learn how and techniques to move the body.

　　By focusing the whole body strength in one part, cultivate strong muscles, perfect balance and explosive power. Practice with basic movements and patterns, cultivate agility while cultivating the ability to swap different movements, and enhance the courage and ability to respond.

　　The preparatory movements before practicing exercises increase blood volume, smooth blood circulation, making muscles and blood vessels tough, and making joints and blood vessels soft. Therefore, you will not get injured when practicing martial arts. After practicing exercises, you should do untidy exercises. The following exercises are the blood and fluid accumulated in the muscles produced during intense exercises to restore their original state. If you do untidy exercises, the whole body will feel stiff.

　　In Taekwondo exercise, this kind of exercise before and after exercise and breathing exercise can be said to be scientific from the perspective of body structure and physiology.

　　When attacking, shouting "Ah!" is not only to overwhelm the opponent's momentum, but also to stretch and contract the muscles in the lower abdomen, so as to defend against unexpected counterattacks. Moreover, it can eliminate bad air in the lungs and increase lung capacity and lung function.

　　For example, weightlifters or freestyle wrestlers evenly distribute their chest blood pressure by deliberately exhaling or shouting during intense exercise, so that important organs in the body are not harmed, and the same is true for practicing Taekwondo to make shouting loudly.

　　From the above, it can be seen that Taekwondo is very helpful for sensation and concentration, visual and muscular development, heart and lung activities. Moreover, it can be more agile in other general sports activities.

　　So, Taekwondo is considered a sport suitable for both men, women, young and old.

　　In addition to protecting yourself, learning Taekwondo should also become a part of everyone's life for health benefits and for the sake of gaining satisfaction in learning ancient martial arts.
