More over 30% of the world’s adult population, or more than 1 billion individuals, has high blood pressure, which is commonly caused by hypertension.
For years, doctors and specialists have warned patients about the serious risks of this condition, recommending them to eat a healthy diet, live in a less stressful environment, and exercise to keep their blood pressure levels stable.
One of the recommended exercises is “Tai Chi,” an ancient Chinese martial art turned holistic exercise that provides more than graceful motions and may contain the answer to controlling blood pressure.
According to research, frequent practice of tai chi can considerably lower both systolic and diastolic blood pressure because it improves circulation, reduces stress, and improves cardiovascular function, all of which contribute to maintaining healthy blood pressure levels.
Additionally, according to a new study published in Jama Network Open, practising tai chi may improve blood pressure even better than aerobic exercise.
