Bill and Angela Wong-Douglas   Tai Chi May Treat Type 2 Diabetes !!        Very Exciting News !!   You can share this with your local media, when doing your World Tai Chi & Qigong Day PRESS RELEASES.   Today, this headline splashed across media worldwide: "Tai Chi Can Help Control Type 2 Diabetes"   LONDON: Tai Chi Chuan, the traditional Chinese martial arts exercises, could help curb symptoms of type 2 diabetes, according to a new study. The study suggested that Tai Chi might prompt a fall in blood glucose levels, or improve blood glucose metabolism, triggering a drop in the inflammatory response, reports the British Medical Journal. The findings of the study indicate that regular Tai Chi Chuan exercise improves T cell helper function of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with an increase in T-bet transcription factor and IL-12 production. T cells are a vital constituent of the body's immune system, which generate powerful chemicals, including interleukins (ILs), which alter the immune response.
