A regular Tai Chi exercise program can help people better control their diabetes, low blood sugar after a study by the University of Florida.
In a study of adults with type 2 diabetes, those who are in a supervised program of Tai Chi exercise on two days per week significantly improved the three days of practice at home for six months lowered fasting blood glucose, treatment of disease, diagnosed and improved their overall quality of life, including mental health, vitality and energy. "Tai Chi is really having an effect similar to other aerobic exercise on diabetic control. The distinction is, Tai Chi is a low-impact exercise, which means it is less stressful on bones, joints and muscles more severe physical effort, "said Beverly Roberts, Annabel Davis Jenks equipped professor at the School of Nursing at UF.
Roberts, with the song Rhayun, Chungnam National University, has studied the effects of Tai Chi in older Koreans. The research was featured in the June issue of the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine. Approximately 23.6 million children suffer from adults in the United States, or 7.8 percent of the population, have diabetes. It occurs when the body does not produce or use insulin, a hormone that is needed to convert sugar required, starches and other food into energy for daily life. Risk factors include inactivity, obesity, physical, unhealthy diet, blood pressure and cholesterol can, history of gestational diabetes and increasing age, many of which are reduced by the movement.
"People assume it's for the continued benefit you, panting, sweating and red face after," said Roberts. "This May off people, especially older adults. However, we found that activities such as Tai Chi can be equally beneficial to improve health. " Tai Chi is an ancient Chinese martial art combines deep breathing and relaxation with slow, circular movements. This low-impact exercise will be changes in posture and develop, in coordination with arm movements.
Sixty-two participants, most Korean women who participated in the study. Half of the group at least 80 percent of the two sessions of one hour per week with three days of practice at home for six months, and the other half served as controls. These meetings had completed a significant improvement in glycemic control and reported higher vitality and energy.
"Those who have participated in sessions of tai chi actually lower blood sugar levels after three and six months," says Roberts. "They also had lower hemoglobin A1c, which means that better control of diabetes." In addition, levels of glucose in the blood improved, participants also reported significantly improved mental health. This was very encouraging, especially since people are less depressed in general, more active and independent, "says Roberts.
Tai Chi is also used for people with arthritis and disabilities to increase, thereby reducing the balance, muscle strength and mobility and the risk of falls. It is useful to examine its effects on other conditions, including the elderly, "said Roberts.
"Tai Chi is an excellent alternative for those who want the benefits of exercise on diabetes control, but not finished May physically demanding due to age, condition or injury," said Roberts. "Future studies could investigate whether tai chi could also benefit from diseases such as osteoporosis or heart disease." Since Tai Chi is an exercise that affects many parts of the body and also helps to relax the mind, it is likely to be participants in the exercise, said Paul Lam, a professor at the University of South Wales School of Public Health and Community Medicine and a practicing physician in Sydney, Australia.
"This study shows that Tai Chi can have a significant impact on management and treatment of diabetes - a health policy major and growing challenge for all Western countries," said Lam.
