TAI CHENG – EASTERN MEDICINE MEETS WESTERN FITNESS
Tai Chi has been around a long time originating from the Chinese as an internal Chinese martial art. How is that relevant to a busy and hectic life nowadays? Tai Chi has repeatedly found its way onto the doormat of western culture because of its health benefits. Forget its origins. When you’re feeling down and out with aches and pains, the last thing you want to add is another pill to the daily regimen of heart medications on top of many others that creep in because of old age. Tai Chi adds a mental boost to moving around because it’s so simple and easy.
That appeal brings a lot to the table. The practice of Tai Chi show that there are favorable reports towards balance control, flexibility, cardiovascular fitness, and has shown to reduce the risk of falls in both healthy and the elderly, improve recovery from chronic stroke, heart failure, high blood pressure, heart attacks, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and fibromyalgia.

Like any other practice, you have to keep at it. One round of Tai Chi isn’t going to change your life. The pattern of practice is what the body needs and the health benefits are numerous. Low impact exercise is easy to attain with a little effort. When you’re limited by an illness, small steps are where you begin. Tai Chi is a preventative and active measure you can do to help stem the tide of stress. What makes this different from yoga? Well yoga is probably a lot more bendy in flexibility. Tai Chi is a more patient and deliberate form of movement.
In one recent study in 2010, funded by the US government, showed that 21 of 33 random and non-randomized trials reported a significant reduction in stress, anxiety, depression in patients who were healthy and patients who had chronic ailments. In about one hour to one year, regular Tai Chi made a difference. The effect on mood and heart rate is positive across the board.
