Tai Chi, The Remarkable Free Medicine That Can Improve Your Health, Heal Your Body, or Just Plain Keep You Healthy.
This incredible natural medicine has no dangerous side effects and a growing body of scientific evidence suggesting a remarkably large number of health benefits. Tai Chi has been called the ‘Ultimate Exercise’ because it activates our own natural ‘Elixir Within’. For the scientific stuff, click here.
Tai Chi has been used for centuries as a natural medicine by people of all ages and abilities. If you’re feeling good right now you can use it to stay that way and if you’re not, you can use it along with just about any medical treatment to help you feel better so check with your doctor, I bet they’ll agree!
Tai chi is deceptively simple. When properly done tai chi is a moderate aerobic exercise that will make you sweat, although it appears easy when an advanced ‘player’ is practicing it.
The Chinese refer to practicing tai chi as playing and the people practicing it players.
Aside from being an excellent medium intensity, low impact aerobic exercise studies show that tai chi can strengthen the immune system, improve alertness and the ability to concentrate, improve reflexes, greatly improve balance, lower blood pressure (both systolic and diastolic), improve bone density, relieve stress and tension, build stamina, increase flexibility, build leg strength . . . and more!
The real beauty of Tai Chi is that it doesn’t require you to have anything special to practice. Sure, you might want to wear loose fitting clothes and a good pair of thin-soled shoes, but you don’t really need anything else.
You can even take a quick ‘tai chi break’ to refocus your mind and energize your body while in your dress shoes, in your sneakers, or even barefoot. I often ‘play’ a little tai chi in the middle of the day while in my street clothes (I don’t usually do suits).
