The Health Benefits of Tai Chi:

You've probably heard about how the slow, gentle movements of Tai Chi are good for your health, particularly Seniors looking to improve balance and prevent falls.

In addition to fall prevention, it can also boost your immune system and help deal with chronic pain. A recent article in the newspaper spoke of the many Chinese that start their mornings with exercising in local parks.

Many of these people practice Tai Chi while others prefer gymnastic movements and laughter to bring movement to their bodies and get their blood flowing. Movement has many benefits to your health, whether its walking, strength training, biking or a combination of these.
