I took Tae Kwon Do to a blue belt many years ago. I had to stop due to physical limitations (Thyroid went bonkers) and we moved. I did try Tai Chi once - but after the fast pace of TKD, I just couldn’t get it. Maybe its time to try again.
Tai Chi Improves Diabetes Control
According to two small studies published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine in April 2008, Tai Chi exercises can improve blood glucose levels and improve the control of type 2 diabetes and immune system response.Tai Chi is a Chinese martial art that combines diaphragmatic breathing and relaxation with soft, gentle movements. It is considered moderate exercise, which has previously been shown to improve immune system response, in contrast to strenuous physical activity, which depresses it. Previous studies have shown that it improves respiratory and cardiovascular function, while improving flexibility and relieving stress.
