Tai chi may be the new exercise method for those that have chronic conditions. A recent study has shown that tai chi is an excellent form of exercise for people in their sixties and above that cannot do regular physical activity due to chronic conditions such as arthritis. The study reported that, “No matter which of the chronic conditions they had, people who practiced tai chi showed improvement on physical performance tests, including muscle strength, when compared with those who did not do tai chi.” Tai chi is considered a low-impact, safe exercise even for people who cannot exercise a lot due to physical ailments. 

Research shows it’s okay to have sex if you have heart disease. Many people with heart disease worry that physical activity, such as sex; can cause their heart to fail, resulting in a heart attack. But new research has shown that this assumption is most likely not true. The doctors conducting the study said that, “Based on our data, it seems very unlikely that sexual activity is a relevant trigger of heart attack.… It is important to reassure patients that they need not be worried and should resume their usual sexual activity.” Researchers did want to caution patients about erectile dysfunction medications that can have negative effects when paired with certain heart disease medications.
