New research unearths convincing evidence suggesting the health benefits of tai chi and qigong, which are ancient Chinese wellness practices. The study, conducted by Linda Larkey, PhD, of Arizona State University, and her colleagues, found these wellness practices yielded significant physical and mental advantages, including improved functioning of the heart and immune system, and overall enhancement in the quality of life. But these types of activity embrace a wide spectrum of physical movements, some of which are slow, meditative and dance-like. These facilitating exercises highlight regulation of breath and mind coordinated with body regulation. The study, published in the American Journal of Health Promotion, provides a fascinating insight into the natural ability of the body and mind to recover in response to appropriate cues that these fitness practices deliver.
