Research has shown that Qigong can promote longevity and can even reverse the aging process. Qigong can reduce substance and food addictions, improves mental function, promotes healthy blood pressure, shortens your recovery time from injuries and after surgery, reduces pain, improves your immune system, improves sleep and promotes a deep calm.
