Ancient Chinese Secret?

An interesting new study designed to evaluate the effectiveness of Qigong and Tai Chi in diabetes control is underway in Australia. It's thought that both the stress reduction properties and muscle stimulating properties of these traditional Chinese healing arts may play a role in control blood glucose levels.

The study, which is funded in part by the Diabetes Australia Research Trust, will examine whether or not the ancient 5000-year-old practices of Quigong and Tai Chi improve insulin sensitivity in people with elevated fasting blood glucose levels.
