A Medical News Today report was headlined “Tai Chi Can Help Control Type 2 Diabetes.”

It described a study reported in the British Medical Journal suggesting that Tai Chi may improve blood glucose metabolism, cause a fall in blood glucose levels, and initiate a reduction in the inflammatory response.

The article states, “The findings of the study indicate that regular Tai Chi Chuan exercise improves T cell helper function of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with an increase in T-bet transcription factor and IL-12 production.

“T cells are a vital constituent of the body’s immune system, which generate powerful chemicals, including interleukins (ILs), which alter the immune response.”

Tai Chi has many qualities that could be good for those with diabetes. Tai Chi promotes microcirculation because of its gentle relaxed effortless movements. It is also one of the most effective stress reduction exercises known. Stress aggravates all health challenges, and definitely aggravates diabetic conditions.

However Tai Chi’s side effects are as important as the above type 2 diabetes research, for a UCLA study found that Tai Chi is a powerful insomnia treatment, and also Tai Chi can boost the immune system’s resistence to viral infection. Why is this important?  Because insomnia and illness strain the body, and a strained body suffering from something like type 2 diabetes already is less strong. This isn’t rocket science.

So when someone with type 2 diabetes practices Tai Chi for the blood glucose metabolism improvement, and the reduction in blood glucose levels, and reduction in inflammatory response benefits Tai Chi can provide, they also enjoy better sleep and improved immune function, thereby having less overall stress on the body and mind, and therefore improving their entire life system’s strength on many levels.

But, the side-effects of Tai Chi are vast and wide. At www.worldtaichiday.org you’ll find a Medical Research Library that lists nearly 100 common health issues that medical research is showing Tai Chi may help with. So if you use Tai Chi for one thing, dozens of other benefits may come your way as side-effects. Pretty good deal, don’t you agree?

This Tai Chi Medical Research Library is the most popular such resource in the world, so if you simply google “tai chi medical research” it should come up at the top of the first page.

Share it with your health care provider, but also with friends and loved ones who may have health challenges they can look up there to see how Tai Chi may help them.

Also at www.worldtaichiday.org you’ll find video lessons of Tai Chi and Qigong Sitting Relaxation Meditations that have helped people worldwide.
