New research shows that taking up tai chi might benefit people with type 2 diabetes.
For six months, 31 people with type 2 diabetes practiced tai chi (a gentle Chinese martial art that combines movement, meditation and rhythmic breathing to improve the flow of chi). By the end of the study period, those who practiced tai chi showed greater improvements in glucose control than study participants who weren't involved in the tai chi program. What's more, members of the tai chi group appeared to have better social functioning and mental health, in addition to carrying out more self-care activities to manage their diabetes.
In past studies, tai chi has also been found to soothe arthritis pain, boost immunity, and help ease anxiety.
Hi
How significant were the improves in control? Was it statistically significant from the control group?
Sounds great that it could really prove significant. Diabetes today is not restricted to any particular section of society so it looks a better way to fight this fatal disease. Medicines could alone never be a very good option when we find that they would have to be taken whole life making it more difficult. would really look forward to details into it.
The percentage of people suffering from diabetes is that does logbook and graph plotting from IR uploads from the meter
