Tai Chi Outperforms Aerobic Exercise in Lowering High Blood Pressure

TL;DR Summary
A study published in JAMA Network Open suggests that engaging in tai chi for one year leads to greater reductions in systolic blood pressure compared to aerobic exercises for individuals with prehypertension. The research, conducted on 349 adult volunteers, found that those practicing tai chi experienced more significant reductions in blood pressure and were less likely to progress to hypertension compared to those engaging in aerobic exercise.
