QI

Qi is a Chinese word that means 'energy' or 'life force'. It is an important concept in many Chinese cultures and beliefs. In traditional Chinese medicine, qi is thought to flow through the body and affect our physical, mental, and spiritual health. If the qi is balanced, you will feel healthy and strong. If it is unbalanced, you might feel tired, sick, or unhappy. To maintain a balance of qi, we must practice things like eating healthy, getting enough rest, doing regular physical activity, and taking care of our mental health.
