Novos estudos associam a prática de Tai Chi Chuan à longevidade e anti-envelhecimento. Quem pratica Tai Chi já leu sobre seus benefícios, que são muitos, por sinal. A ciência agora que vem se interessando e conseguindo comprovar estes benefícios. Se você não conhece o Tai Chi eu recomendo, pratico e adoro pelo equilíbrio, consciência e meditação que me proporciona. Depois de tentar várias práticas, o Tai Chi foi o que funcionou para mim, como uma atividade agradável que tenho vontade de praticar todos os dias, pois acredito que exercícios físicos devem ser prazerosos e não mais uma obrigação na agenda.
"New scientific study links Tai Chi to anti-aging and longevity
For centuries, Tai Chi Chuan’s spontaneous meditative movements are known to bring balance to the body. Many studies over the years have shown the practice leads to healing, stress neutralization, and personal tranquility. But few research attempts explored the effects of practicing Tai Chi Chuan on life span. A new study provides direct evidence of Tai Chi’s anti-aging effects.
In a news release on May 28, 2014, the Cell Transplantation Center of Excellence for Aging and Brain Repair announced a new study, “Tai Chi Intervention Increases Progenitor CD34+ Cells in Young Adults” published in issue 23(4/5) of Cell Transplantation (which is freely available on-line) that reported people who perform Tai Chi had a rise in their cluster of differentiation 34 expressing (CD34+) cells, a stem cell important to a number of the body's functions and structures.
The study compared the rejuvenating and anti-aging effects among a Tai Chi group, brisk walking group and no exercise habit group. Thirty-two participants were selected out of a possible 60 based on a survey, and they were separated into three groups.
"To evaluate the potential life-lengthening effect of Tai Chi, we conducted a year-long, retrospective cross-sectional study comparing the rejuvenating and anti-aging effects among three groups of volunteers under the age of 25 who engaged in either Tai Chi (TCC), brisk walking (BW), or no exercise habit (NEH)," said study corresponding author Dr. Shinn-Zong Lin of the Center for Neuropsychiatry, China Medical University Hospital, Taichung, Taiwan. "We used young volunteers because they have better cell-renewing abilities than the old population and we also wanted to avoid having chronic diseases and medications as interfering factors."
