How Tai Chi Lowers Blood Pressure, Improves Blood Circulation, and Supports Heart Health
The Cardiovascular System and Tai Chi
Part 1
For those of you interested in healthy aging (that's all of us, right?), I know you'll want to check out this new video:
The Cardiovascular System and Tai Chi Part 1
In this video, I don my Exercise Physiologist hat, taking you on a brief tour of our amazing Cardiovascular System.
Along the way, we'll explore how stress affects your heart, arteries, blood pressure, and blood circulation.
Hint: If you're fighting for survival, those effects are highly functional.
On the other hand—
If you're mostly sitting and stewing in chronic tension and stress—
Those affects can be highly dysfunctional.
They make you more susceptible to disease.
Including the #1 killer of adults. Cardiovascular disease.
Including heart attacks, strokes, heart failure, and high blood pressure.
Not what we want!
As I explain, the antidotes include moderate exercise and relaxation.
Tai Chi delivers both, in one package.
