Health benefits of sanchin and tensho?

Hello,
I just wanted to ask experienced martial artists here whether tensho and sanchin kata have any major health benefits? They are both ideally a form of chi kung/qi gong, so shouldn’t they have similar health benefits? Thanks
Also, does tensho develop fa jing ability? If not, could you please tell me how i could learn fa jing without having to start a new internal art?

Buddhist monks eating 1 meal a day before noon – health benefits?

and eating a lot makes you sleepy.

are there any health benefits through practicing seiza?

Seiza is a traditional formal way of sitting in Japan, which is a commonly used sitting posture. It is a posture of respect and formality. Seiza also is defined as “correct, calm sitting,” a kneeling posture associated with Japanese meditative forms.
many say that this posture helps in digestion but is this true?
and does this posture serves significant role in yoga ie relaxing oneself?
does this posture also help in straightening the back bone?
does practicing seiza have health benefits??? or does it bring only harm to the body by blocking the blood circulation in the legs and feet?
i myself has just started doing this posture but heard that there are advantages and disadvantages doing this so im confused if i should actually continue…
please try to answer my question and give me some evidences (eg. websites) of good or bad about it, thanks =)
