"Tai Chi Outperforms Aerobic Exercise in Lowering High Blood Pressure: Study"

A study found that practicing Tai Chi is more effective than aerobic exercise in reducing high blood pressure, particularly for individuals with prehypertension. Over the course of a year, participants practicing Tai Chi experienced greater reductions in blood pressure compared to those engaging in aerobic exercise. The gentle martial art's slow and fluid movements can benefit balance, breathing, and heart function, making it a suitable and safe exercise for people of all ages and physical conditions, with potential benefits for heart disease prevention and improved flexibility and balance, especially for seniors.
