When meditating, whether standing or sitting, it requires a high degree of mental concentration, so that the muscles that maintain the posture produce static contraction, especially the core muscles that are not easy to exercise, and can also be exercised under the cooperation of the maintenance of this posture and breathing, which can improve the stability of standing, sitting and walking in the middle-aged and elderly people.

A study by the University of Wisconsin in the United States found thatMeditation increases the brain's ability to react more sensitively.
The gamma wave vibration frequency of normal people is between 25 and 40 Hz, but the gamma wave of long-term meditators is as high as more than 80 Hz, and its intensity is a phenomenon that has never appeared in any scientific experiment in the past.
Long-term sedentary meditation can affect physical changes in the brain and can trigger short- or long-term changes in the brain nerve centers.
The study has been published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the first time such results have been published in a major scientific journal.
In fact, two older monks were detected to have strong gamma wave activity before the meditation, and it is clear that fluctuations in brain activity are entirely due to the length of time spent in practice, and not to individual differences.
Through the experiments, the scientists involved in the study concluded that zazen and meditation can enhance brain activity and significantly affect the relevant areas of the brain responsible for regulating mood and happiness.
In short, sitting still and imagining is a great way to regulate the state of the human body both physically and mentally.
