People living with heart disease, high blood pressure or stroke may benefit from practicing traditional Chinese exercises such as Tai Chi, showed a study published Wednesday in the Journal of the American Heart Association.
“But the physical and psychological benefits to these patients of this increasingly popular form of exercise must be determined based on scientific evidence. ”
In the new study, the researchers reviewed 35 research articles, which included 2, 249 cardiovascular disease patients from 10 countries.
They found Chinese exercises helped reduce the participants’ systolic blood pressure, the top number, by more than 9. 12 mmHg, and diastolic blood pressure, the bottom number, by more than 5 mmHg on average.
The study also revealed small, but statistically significant drops in the levels of bad cholesterol, or low-density lipoprotein, and triglycerides.
Chinese exercises also seemed to improve quality of life and reduce depression in patients with cardiovascular disease, they said.

“Our systematic review results showed that TCE (traditional Chinese exercises)should be useful for patients with CVD (cardiovascular disease), ”the researchers wrote in their paper.

The review only analyzed studies which randomly assigned participants to groups performing traditional Chinese exercises, most commonly Tai Chi, Qigong and Baduanjin, engaging in another form of exercise or making no change in activity level.

Feel tired lately? Has a doctor said he can’t find anything wrong with you? Perhaps he has sent you to a hospital, but all the advanced equipment there shows that there is nothing wrong with you.

Sub-health, also called the third state or gray state, is explained as a borderline(边界线)state between health and disease.
According to the investigation by the National Health Organization, over 45 percent of sub-healthy people are middle-aged or elderly. The percentage is even higher among people who work in management positions as well as students around exam-weeks.
Symptoms(征兆)include a lack of energy, depression(压抑), slow reactions, insomnia(失眠), agitation, and a poor memory. Other symptoms include shortness of breath, sweating and aching in the waist and legs.
The key to preventing and recovering from sub-health, according to some medical experts, is to form good living habits, alternate work and rest, exercise regularly, and take part in open air activities.
