Martial Arts for Men’s Health and Fitness
It’s not too late to get on the road to good health and join Poway Samurai Martial Arts in observance of June being Men’s Health Month. One aspect of this national program is to heighten the awareness of preventable health problems in men and boys, and, according to the American Heart Association, heart disease is still the leading cause of death among men in the United States. They also report that one in three men can expect to develop some form of cardiovascular disease before the age of 60.
“In terms of preventing heart disease, we´re talking about controlling all the risk factors,” says Howard Hodis, M.D., professor of medicine at the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California. “This means living a healthy lifestyle, including diet and exercise, avoiding heavy alcohol use, smoking and foods high in fat, and controlling lipid levels and blood pressure.”
For men who want and need to exercise, but, are quickly bored by the gym, martial arts can easily be part of their exercise program and healthy lifestyle. And martial arts practice is not just for young men in their 20’s. Studies published by the British Journal of Sports Medicine show that people in their 40’s and 50’s who regularly practice martial arts demonstrate tremendous physical fitness compared to those who don’t exercise at all. Those who were part of the study also had 12% less body fat and were able to do twice as many sit-ups as the subjects that did not practice martial arts. They even showed enhanced flexibility, balance, leg strength, and demonstrated a stronger immune system.
So, kick off your summer with a great new exercise program that is fun, never boring and will keep you in great shape. Join us at Poway Samurai Martial arts for a traditional and authentic program that’s a great workout and can assist you with your good health goals for years to come.

Help for Cancer Patients
Studies show that when patients with “medically diagnosed malignant cancer” were divided into two groups, and all received drugs, the group that practiced Qi Gong showed improvement in strength, appetite, freedom from diarrhea, and weight gain four to nine times greater than the group that did not.
Additionally, a measure of the immune function improved for the Qi Gong group and decreased for the other group. Over sixty studies have focused on the effects of Qi Gong on tumor activity. Emitted qi has been shown to inhibit growth of malignant tumors. In clinical studies, advanced cancer patients who did Qi Gong exercises over two hours per day for three to six months, in combination with their drug therapy, showed significant improvement in their strength, appetite, digestion and immune function.
