D. The effect on metabolism:
"There is not much information on this area. However, the differences in bone structure
and the rate of arteriosclerosis in both groups show that the exercise program is obviously of great help to the metabolism of
lipids, proteins, and inorganic salts such as calcium and phosphorus. Studies on the rejuvenating effect of exercise from the point
of view of substantial metabolism, which have been carried out worldwide in recent years, have reported that the cholesterol level
in the blood of an elderly patient decreases 5 to 30 minutes after the exercise program, especially in those with high cholesterol.
In elderly patients with arteriosclerosis, it was found that before and after the exercise program, their albumin (protein) levels
in the blood increased, while globulin and cholesterol levels decreased noticeably, which significantly reduced the symptoms of
arteriosclerosis. This is a clearly positive effect of Taijiquan on the metabolism of body substances."
