Elderly people should take up T'ai Chi, say academics

Elderly people should take up the gentle martial art of T’ai Chi for the sake of their physical and mental health, according to academics.

A new study has found that the ancient Chinese exercises, enjoyed by millions of people every morning, can help pensioners avoid falling injuries and boost their psychological well-being.

Loving the title of the thread....!

[pa___ul3]

or be like my 88 year old grandad and run marathons! He done the Chester Half marathon on Sunday and was too hot so he ran half the race with his running vest off! First time I've seen him and thought "that needs ironing!".

[Bbbananas]

Good on your grandad, bless him.

Once again not a News Question, rather a Body & Soul Question.

Hence the Telegraph's decision to place this article in their papers Health Section rather than their News Section.

[Bbbananas]

Prop the other leg up a wall craft. Like you do when you.... u know... used to.. have a knee trembler. In the good old days. ;-)

Sorry for the Confucian.

[jackthehat]

CD - I thought the man hostage had a solution for that ?

Was he not talking about you when he said "I usually fold up my naan bread and slide it under the offended leg..."

:D

[craft1948]

thanks salla................memories eh.

[China Doll]

I hate to think what he was talking about Jack but it certainly sounds a plausible solution from him... ;0)

[Bbbananas]

I know what you mean craft. It's been ages for me... though I keep trying to initiate one, he mistakes it for me wanting a wee after too much alcohol :-(
