This Is What REALLY HAPPENS TO YOUR BODY if You Do 40 CLAPS EVERY DAY! Chinese Centenarians' Habit

At dawn in China's parks, a simple clapping habit brings older people together. Passed from one generation to the next, it uses two hands, four gentle sets and less than a minute. Follow the practice and explore the seven changes described in this video. In this video: How to do ten flat palm claps, ten cupped palm claps, ten with the arms forward, and ten with the fingertips. How the narration connects hand movement with everyday tasks, shoulder use, breathing, balance and attention. A gentle starting plan with softer claps, counting out loud and a slow exhale. What the cited research actually studied: slow breathing, tai chi and walking, rather than morning clapping.
