Martial Arts to Immunity

For centuries Martial Arts have been practiced for various purposes but it had never been known that they also have a side effect to them. This side effect is none other that the boosting of the immune system. A recent study showed that older adults participating in a program were required to perform a certain amount of Tai Chi each day. These were then compared with other older adults that did not. The results showed that the ones practicing Tai Chi had higher immunity to the shingles vaccine. The article also stated that Tai Chi and the vaccine for shingles together enhanced immunity to where it was comparable to a middle aged adult. This and other such remedies and practices are beginning to show significant paths to a healthier and happier life.
