Eminyakeni yamuva, umkhuba we-Tai Chi, oye waba khona iminyaka engaphezu kwe-1000, uye wakhuthazwa njengokuqeqeshwa okuphumelelayo kokuthuthukisa ibhalansi nokuguquguquka ekugugeni. Ucwaningo olusha olwenziwa ososayensi baseSpain lufakazela ukuthi ukuzivocavoca kungathuthukisa isimo semisipha futhi kuvimbele ukuwa okuholela ekuqhekekeni okukhulu kubantu asebekhulile.
“Imbangela eyinhloko yokufa okudabukisayo kwasebekhulile amaphutha okuhamba nokungasebenzisani kahle,” kusho umlobi wocwaningo uRafael Lomas-Vega wase-University of Jaén. “Lena yinkinga enkulu yezempilo yomphakathi. Kuyaziwa ukuthi ukuzivocavoca kunciphisa isibalo sokufa kwabantu abadala. Izinhlelo zokujima zasekhaya nazo zinciphisa ingozi yokuwa. I-Tai Chi iwumkhuba ogxile ekuguquguqukeni nasekuxhumaneni komzimba wonke. Isebenza kahle ekuthuthukiseni ukulinganisela nokulawula ukuguquguquka kokubili izingane kanye nabantu abadala, kanye nasebekhulile. "
Abacwaningi benza izivivinyo ezingu-10 zabantu abangu-3000 abaneminyaka engu-56 kuya ku-98 ababesebenzisa i-Tai Chi masonto onke. Imiphumela yabonisa ukuthi umkhuba unciphise ingozi yokuwa cishe ngama-50% esikhathini esifushane kanye nama-28% esikhathini eside. Abantu baqala ukulawula kangcono imizimba yabo lapho behamba empilweni evamile. Kodwa-ke, uma umuntu esevele ewa kanzima esikhathini esidlule, umkhuba wawungenanzuzo encane. Ososayensi baphinde baxwayisa ngokuthi i-Tai Chi idinga ukucwaninga okuqhubekayo ukuze inikeze iseluleko esinembile kubantu asebekhulile esikhathini esizayo.
Izibalo zibonisa ukuthi umuntu oyedwa kwabathathu kwabangu-65 abahlala ekhaya uwela okungenani kanye ngonyaka, futhi ingxenye yalelo nani ihlupheka kakhulu. Ngokuvamile lokhu kubangelwa izinkinga zokusebenzisana, ubuthakathaka bemisipha, ukungaboni kahle kanye nezifo ezingapheli.
Umphumela oyingozi kakhulu wokuwa ukuphuka kwe-hip. Njalo ngonyaka, babalelwa ku-700 abantu abangeniswa ezibhedlela ukuze bahlinzwe ukuze kulungiswe ukuphuka kwenyonga. Cabanga ngalokhu: umuntu oyedwa kwabayishumi asebekhulile uyafa phakathi namasonto amane ephukile, futhi ngisho nangaphezulu phakathi nonyaka. Iningi lalabo abasele bephila alikwazi ukuphinde likhululeke ngokomzimba kwabanye abantu futhi alizami ngisho nokubuyela emisebenzini yalo yokuzilibazisa nemisebenzi yangaphambili. Kufanele bathembele osizweni lwezihlobo, abangani noma osonhlalakahle.
Isibhedlela saseMassachusetts sithe i-tai chi iphinde isize iziguli ukulwa nokucindezeleka. Kwezinye izimo, lo mkhuba ungase unciphise ngisho nesidingo semithi elwa nokucindezeleka.
Isiphetho siyaziphakamisa: ukuze ugweme izinkinga zempilo esikhathini esizayo, kuyadingeka ukunakekela umzimba wakho manje futhi ugxilise ezizukulwaneni ezincane uthando lwemisebenzi ehlukahlukene yomzimba kanye nemikhuba.
