Tai Chi Outperforms Aerobic Exercise in Lowering Blood Pressure, Study Shows

A new study published in the JAMA Network Open journal found that practicing tai chi led to more significant drops in blood pressure for adults with prehypertension compared to supervised aerobic exercise after one year. Nearly 22 percent of the tai chi group returned their blood pressure to a normal range, while only 16 percent did so in the aerobic group. The key takeaway is to keep moving, regardless of the intensity, to maintain a healthy lifestyle and lower blood pressure.
