We all have heard those horror stories about losing the brain's cells at an early age and how that can effect our memory and cognitive skills. . Now there is something you can do about it. And it does not involve buying expensive equipment or spending lots of money on supplements. The answer? Why, tai chi, of course.
In the June 19, 2012 edition of the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, a team of researchers from China's Shanghai Fudan University and the University of South Florida, reported on an eight month study they conducted of Chinese seniors who practiced the art of tai chi at least three times a week. They found that comparing those individuals with those who did not practice tai chi, those who did practice it had increased brain volume. In turn, that resulted in improvements in both memory and cognitive function.
So, if you are having trouble remembering where you put the car keys, try tai chi. Who knows, you might even find the keys. Let me know if it seems to work for you.
