Aikite Health Early Morning Workout:
In developing Kiko (Japanese qigong) Aikite Health. My research over the past few years has found and I have promoted early morning workouts.
A false hypothesis: Many Tai Chi and other groups have practiced in the early mornings. The common reason was that this was the most appropriate time because of work and family commitments.
In my studies and experiences, breathing exercises that are performed outdoors and in an area that is full of young plants, bushes and trees will enrich the air that you breathe and thereby give you more Energy and Ki than at any other time of the day or place of practice.
In addition, the early morning sun will give you many additional benefits:
- Getting Sun for Good Health: Morning sunlight exposure plays a crucial role in regulating our sleep-wake cycle and maintaining a balanced circadian rhythm. This exposure helps us fall asleep faster at night and wake up feeling refreshed. In addition to improving sleep patterns, morning sunlight provides essential vitamin D, strengthens the immune system, reduces stress, and supports mental health.
- Sunlight Sets Circadian Rhythms: Bright morning light has a profound impact on our circadian rhythms, influencing hormone production and sleep cycles. Exposure to sunlight in the morning helps reset the biological clock, ensuring synchronization with the natural day-night cycle. This synchronization supports improved sleep patterns and mood enhancement.
