The Chi Machine

By Dr. Roni DeLuz PHD, RN, ND

Improving your Chi

The Chi Machine has many advantages over other types of exercise. It is able to provide an aerobic workout with minimal upper-body movement. You can lie back, relax, read a book, or talk on the phone. This low-impact workout is excellent for disabled or obese individuals, or for those who suffer from problems with their feet. It is also good for people who are too sick to exercise in traditional ways.

The Chi Machine is also good for your heart. The aerobic workout achieved from using the Chi Machine will help lower your heart rate while increasing your ability to take in oxygen. This makes it especially important for individuals with hypertension or a high heart rate. With regular use of the Chi Machine, other benefits include:

• Increased energy
• Fewer colds and illnesses
• More restful sleep
• Stronger and more limber spine and joints
• Reduced stress and anxiety
• Improved organ function
• Fewer headaches
• Improved regularity

The Chi Machine has been noted for its ability to provide an aerobic workout with minimal movement. The aerobic exercise stimulates your sympathetic nervous system, which improves your ability to fight illness and disease. It opens up the bronchioles of the lungs so that more oxygen is absorbed into the body with each breath. The blood flow to and from the lungs is also increased which further improves your body's ability to use the oxygen it receives. The Chi Machine has also been recognized to help increase the production of blood as well, making it especially valuable to individuals with anemia.

Finally, the most recognized benefit of the Chi Machine is that it helps restore life and health to unhealthy organs. According to ancient eastern traditions, our bodies contain energy or a life-force called "chi". This chi moves through the body to promote health and wellness. When chi is blocked, illness and disease may result. The Chi Machine helps to keep the chi moving to promote the maximum flow of healthy and healing energy throughout the body. This energy provides you with an increased feeling of overall health as well as an increase in energy. No wonder so many people are having fun and losing weight with this machine.
