New US research finds that heart disease patients might be able to relieve symptoms of depression with sessions of tai chi. FMTNews FMTLifestyle

Practicing tai chi could help heart disease patients ease symptoms of depression, according to new research.

The findings, published Tuesday in the European Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing, a journal of the European Society of Cardiology , showed that practising tai chi was linked with lower levels of psychological distress and depression and a boost in both mood and quality of life, including mental health quality of life and physical health quality of life .

“There is a lot of research on tai chi in stroke survivors but nearly all of them looked at physical function such as balance and gait.” “If you’ve had a heart attack or stroke, or are affected by another heart condition, I would strongly recommend adding tai chi to your recovery and rehabilitation,” said study author Dr Ruth Taylor-Piliae.Tai chi combines a series of set movements, with relaxation and breathing, and is considered to be a mind-body exercise because it requires concentration on posture, relaxation and breathing.
