Tai chi is the most popular exercise in the world today. It is relatively new to the western world but is becoming more and more popular. The two thousand year old Chinese martial art is quite simple to do and has many benefits.
I was introduced to tai chi by a friend. I must say that I did not really know much about it before this. He stated that his life has changed in a massive way especially in helping him to eradicate his high levels of stress and depression. His name is John and he has many issues in his life which not only affect his self-confidence but also makes him very depressed at times. John has been attending tai chi classes for nearly two years and has seemingly become a new man. He decided to not share information about what he was doing to other people. On a night out I mentioned to him that he had been a lot happier in the recent months. I was then to discover about his passion about the alternative therapy Tai Chi. He also asked if I would like to attend the classes with him, which I duly agreed to. I am very glad that we had this conversation as I can also quite easily spiral into a state of depression~I feel rather fortunate that I had this chat with my good friend as it has really helped to improve my life}. I also had heard that it can help people to learn how to stop stuttering which is a problem that I had had since I was a young boy.
People have also mentioned that I look far healthier and even that I look younger than before. This is supposed to be another benefit of tai chi, it helps to delay the aging process. This is good for somebody like me as people always thought that I was around five years older than I actually was.
Other health benefits of tai chi:
Helps to keep people mobile well into old age
Helps to improve balance
Helps to reduce asthma
Helps people to recover from certain injuries
Helps to boost the immune system
Can potentially help people to stop stuttering
Helps to lower blood pressure
In conclusion, if you are like me and are a person who is always stressed out and often depressed, tai chi could be the answer for you. It certainly is worth a crack - my motto is you will never know until you have tried.
