How to Lower Your Blood Pressure Using Tai Chi?
Diet, exercise and medication aren’t the only treatment options available to sufferers of high blood pressure. Tai Chi, an ancient Chinese martial art that is often practiced for the benefit of health, relaxation and longevity, as well as flexibility and discipline, has been shown to lower blood pressure almost as well as aerobic exercise of medium intensity. To share these benefits and start lowering your own blood pressure using Tai Chi, follow these simple steps. -Step 1: Find a class or group that practices Tai Chi in your area. You can search local papers or the phone book, as well as asking at community centers or YMCAs. If you are retired, check with retirement communities in your town as well – there may be Tai Chi groups or classes specifically geared towards older adults, for both health and social reasons. -Step 2: Keep at it! If you are unhappy with your Tai Chi practice during your first few weeks, don’t give up yet. It takes some time to develop the strength and flexibility to move smoothly through your poses. You will start to feel the benefits, and feel more satisfied with your practice, as your skill increases. For now, just relax and do your best. -Step 3: To maximize the benefits of Tai Chi, try to practice several times a week. It never hurts, to also add some brisk walking to your fitness regime, so that you can reap the benefits of different types of exercise. -Step 4: Eat a healthy diet, get plenty of sleep and approach your Tai Chi practice at approximately the same time of day and in a good mood. This will help you reap the full benefits of your exercise and relaxation program. If you are unable to find a Tai Chi group in your area, you may wish to try a Tai Chi DVD that you can use at home. Alternatively, if you’d rather have guidance or participate in a group setting, other low-intensity exercise programs, such as an extra-gentle yoga course, may also be able to help you lower your blood pressure and improve your overall health.
