摘要

The number of people with chronic diseases rises rapidly in recent years worldwide. Except for drug medication

mind-body exercises are indispensable for chronic disease management. Traditional Chinese practice (TCP)

as an integrative intervention

is known as an effective means to keep in good health and fitness

as well as help regulate emotion. This paper introduces the domestic and overseas studies on effectiveness of TCP for chronic diseases

and explores the key action links from three aspects

including functional training of multiple-joint guided by consciousness

relieving psychological risk factors

improving respiratory and digestive function

blood and lymph circulation through respiratory training

and regulation of nerve

metabolic

and immune system. Finally

the authors discussed how to integrate TCP in the chronic disease management

and put forward that the practice methods and evaluation standard should be assessed academically.
