Is tai chi good for people with Alzeimers?
People with dementia experience psychological and physical changes alongside cognitive impairments. The repetition of stimulate-reflect training can assist patients with dementia preserve and restoring brain functions, even when the brain has been under pathological injury to some extent. It seems that mind-body exercise can efficiently control the onset of dementia by slowing age-related cognitive decline and benefit the prognosis of dementia. I believe that Tai Chi is a safe and appropriate mind-body exercise for older people, effectively slowing down age-related cognitive degeneration. Tai Chi requires mental concentration and shifting the balance of the body by gentle and smooth movements and steady breathing.
