I can walk for hours and hours each day but I can’t see myself doing tai chi for longer than a few minutes. At the end of the day, the exercise that lowers your blood pressure the most, is the exercise that you can sustain.

There was a study done recently that showed isometric exercises like Planks and wall sits are better at lowering blood pressure than cardio exercises.

Just want to let you know I shout you out to all my clients if they want to learn more about food and nutrition! This is one of the best most trust worthy channels because you just go through the science with no agenda.

Problem is, 99% of dr.'s offices cannot do BP testing correctly.

I have white coat syndrome. Every time I measure it in the doctors office it is always around 140-150. But when I am at home, relaxed it is around 110-120.

Today I was diagnosed as hypertensive and you release this 🙏🏼

[TomTerrific]

Have you heard of any tests on gardening? I garden about 2 hours a day and find it both exercising and relaxing.

I love this channel! Data-driven and with no agenda - just getting the best information out to the public. Thank you for all your work. Regarding Tai Chi, I find my muscles get a great workout with it, as indicated by how sore they are the next day.

[SuperAngelic]

Thanks for presenting this information.

[azdhan]

Great video and info. Many thanks for sharing Dr Carvalho

I do think Tai Chi is more helpful in slowing down and getting you in touch with your body, which I think is extremely beneficial. Cardio is great for the heart and circulation as well, so I think some of both is probably the key. There's no one magic bullet in health, and we don't have to choose just one modality that has a slightly better improvement rate than another. These things are both beneficial in their own way, and it's also better to do the one that is sustainable for you, while also trying, when you can, to reach beyond your comfort zone and do something different once in a while.

wall squats but not using a wall = "horse stance". Here in Toronto we have huge outdoor classes of taijquan.

That interesting! Not what I would have expected

[greenmedic]

There's no holding of positions in Tai Chi (that would be more like Yoga)i; the point is that one is constantly moving, all joints rhythmically in unison. Some want to call it a form of moving Chi Kung; that's fine. They both utilize basically the same breathing techniques, which are in all probability, what influences pulse rate and blood pressure.

One can actually lower their heart rate and blood pressure, with simple breathing exercises, standing or sitting completely still.

Great info we are going to sign up for a class and hope for the best.

[carvedwood]

I am so glad you tied it together at the end with the isometric exercise and the other studies you went over about those. That was the first thought in my head. It seems kind of like a slow moving isometric exercise rather than a completely static one.

Once again requesting for audio podcasts. Please make your audio podcasts available on spotify etc.

[mirandamom]

I’d love to see a comparison of Tai Chi and isometric exercise.

[floydffrogfloydffrog]

I am not surprised to hear these results. Doing a set always left me with shaky legs and the sensation that I was winded though I never actually got to breathing hard. I eventually concluded that the majority of any exhaustion I experienced was the result of the intense focus that Tai Chi commanded, from me at least I can't speak for others. I'd be thrilled if the local park had an impromptu group that assembled daily for Tai Chi, sadly however that park is under snow 6 months of the year.

I'm from Malaysia and I love your videos Dr.Gil👍
