Anti Aging...

Do the Chinese know the secret to anti aging?

While watching O.prah yesterday, Dr. O.z was on and was talking about the number #1 aging factor is stress and how to reduce it. One suggestion was chi-gong, an easier version of tai chi! Interesting.

"Dr. O.z says the "major agers"the activities that age us the quickestinclude a diet high in fat and sugar, not getting enough exercise, lack of sleep and too much exposure to the sun. The number one ager is stress."

"But experiencing some stress is not always bad. "It wakes us up. Makes us alert. We learn better sometimes when we have a little bit of stress."

"Dr. O.z says there are a few ways you can ... reduce your negative reactions to stress."

"Another is through meditation or prayer. "That can strip decades, literally, off your life," Dr. O.z says. If, like Dr. O.z, you find still meditation difficult, you can also use techniques like tai chi or chi-gong which Dr. O.z says is an "easier version" of tai chi."

What is chi-gong?

"A gentler form of energy practice, Qigong is a beautiful, flowing combination of movements and breathing techniques that stimulate energy flow and promote your natural resiliency to stress and illness."
