Why is it the best health investment to start practicing Ba Duan Jin after the age of 40?
After the age of 40, we begin to really “hear” the body’s signals:
Sleeping lightly and waking up early;
Back pain after sitting for a long time and leg fatigue after standing for a long time;
Emotional irritability and poor appetite;
Even though we are not old, our energy is declining and recovery is slow.
These are not “aging”, but the body reminding us that the “neglect” of the past few decades has begun to show.
The body is saying: “I need you to slow down”
40 years old is a watershed. Your past lifestyle determines your physical condition in the next ten years.
And starting to establish a “long-term sustainable healthy rhythm” at this time is the most cost-effective investment.
Why choose Ba Duan Jin?
It does not emphasize flexibility, does not rely on physical strength, and can be practiced without any basic knowledge;
Its movements are gentle but profound, suitable for long-term practice without hurting the body;
It does not require equipment, venues, or a lot of time, only 30 minutes a day;
Each of its movements corresponds to the conditioning of internal organs and the activation of meridians, and is an “active recovery” training.
From “feeling uncomfortable” to “taking the initiative”
The greatest significance of practicing Ba Duan Jin is not “what to practice”, but:
You finally start to pay attention to your body, participate in your body, and respond to your body.
It’s not too late to start practicing at the age of 40.
30 minutes a day is a gift to your future self.
