In the news this week: 'T'ai Chi may help diabetes'
According to the Daily Mail, a 12-week programme of t’ai chi caused the blood sugar levels of people with type 2 diabetes to drop "significantly" by 8% and bolstered their immune systems.
The Daily Mirror also covers the story, saying that the practice of t’ai chi could cut blood glucose or improve how the body processes it. It adds that t’ai chi could boost the immune system through increasing fitness and “the feeling of wellbeing”.
NHS Choices went 'Behind the Headlines' to dig deeper into the story and uncover if in fact this is fact!
