BACKGROUND
The aims of this study were to determine whether a modified Qigong breathing exercise can reduce the sense of hunger and identify possible mechanisms.
METHODS
The results from the test group, which performed the exercise, are compared with the control group, which performed deep breathing. Intestinal pressure measurements, stomach pH monitoring, and participant surveys were used for assessment.
RESULTS
Stomach pH was increased by 3 (0.2) and intestinal pressure was reduced by 12 (0.5) mm Hg in the experimental group and did not change significantly in the control group. The study provides strong evidence that the exercise can significantly reduce, or even suppress the sense of hunger on an empty stomach.
CONCLUSION
This breathing exercise provides comfort in different circumstances, such as lack of regular meals, limited volume or caloric diet, and even during temporary complete absence of food in therapeutic fasting.
背景
本研究的目的是确定一种改良的气功呼吸练习是否能减轻饥饿感并找出可能的机制。
方法
将进行该练习的试验组结果与进行深呼吸的对照组结果进行比较。采用肠内压力测量、胃pH监测和参与者调查进行评估。
结果
实验组胃pH值升高3（0.2），肠内压力降低12（0.5）毫米汞柱，而对照组无显著变化。该研究提供了有力证据，表明该练习能显著减轻甚至抑制空腹时的饥饿感。
结论
这种呼吸练习在不同情况下都能带来舒适感，比如在饮食不规律、食物量或热量摄入有限时，甚至在治疗性禁食期间暂时完全没有食物时。
