What does an ancient Chinese martial art such as Tai Chi have to offer modern day people living in the UK? The slow meditative movements of Tai Chi appear to be at the opposite end of the spectrum to modern day living, yet Tai Chi continues to gain popularity in the West. Popularity alone, however, is rarely an indicator of intrinsic worth (take binge drinking for example!), so how are you to determine whether Tai Chi has something to offer you personally?

This was the question I found myself facing five years ago. Unsure as to why I was even considering the question, I came to the conclusion that nothing could substitute for personal experience and, with some misgivings, I decided to take the plunge.

On hearing that some friends of mine had registered on a ten-week introductory course in Tai Chi starting the very next week, I decided to call the course organiser immediately. Perhaps this was fate, perhaps it was my destiny to study Tai Chi. Fate, however, had deviated from my expectations. The course was fully subscribed.

I felt quite aggrieved that my grand plan had been thwarted. How dare my friends start Tai Chi without me! Although living in a large town there were certainly other teachers available, I failed to overcome this set back and chose the route of apathy. Apparently my aspirations were not particularly resilient, and I comforted myself in the knowledge that at least I had tried.

Ten weeks later my spiritually advanced friends told me that their Tai Chi course had ended and classes were now open to all comers. Although my initial zeal had diminished somewhat, I was left with no excuses and agreed to join them at the next class.

Until we arrived on the following Tuesday I hadn’t recognised the full extent of my apprehensions. My desire to learn Tai Chi had been replaced with an unsettling feeling that I could not place. I realised that I knew next to nothing about Tai Chi, and began thinking, ‘what the hell am I doing here?’. Understanding it was far too late to entertain these thoughts I resolved myself to the fact that I would be there for the next two hours.

The teacher was instantly recognizable. Other than the fact that he was one out of only a few people who was not pacing nervously, or protectively huddled in a small group, he had a distinct air about him along with an intensity and confidence in the eyes. I instantly felt as though it would be futile to try to deceive him in any way, which left me feeling quite vulnerable. It was not that I sensed an intrusive or menacing disposition, in fact quite the opposite. It was simply that the teacher’s calm, authentic attitude demanded a similar openness in return.

The lesson began with a warm up, which involved gentle stretches and rotating of the body and limbs to loosen joints and muscles. This was followed by some simple movement exercises, two-person practice, and the Tai Chi form. Throughout the session the teacher discussed some of the concepts and principles behind Tai Chi. It was stressed that without adherence to these principles, a student of Tai Chi would achieve only minimal benefit from their practice. These concepts were very simple to explain and conceptualise yet proved extremely difficult to put into practice. I left the class feeling confused but yet at the same time some part of me had been inspired and I knew that I would be coming back the next week.

Five years on I still practice Tai Chi and I feel fortunate to have discovered the art when I did. Whilst I have made a great deal of progress, I am beginning to learn the truth that Tai Chi takes time and dedication to learn, and cannot ever really be mastered. This is sometimes one of the most difficult aspects to come to terms with, especially living in our culture of impatience and instant material satisfaction.

This challenge is, however, one of Tai Chi’s greatest assets. The patience that the art demands helps us to step out of the cycle of desire and satisfaction, allowing us to become more present and aware in everyday life. This allows us to face up to things that we have subconsciously been running away from, and to solve problems that we never knew were holding us back.

Tai Chi is often perceived as a mystical thing, something that people often tend to believe to be beyond their understanding or otherwise not deserving of their attention. The truth is that Tai Chi is not supernatural, it is simply a very effective tool that we can use to improve our experience of living. It is true that Tai Chi does appear very alien in our current society, yet just five hundred years ago the concept of a spherical world was also a very alien concept.

Whilst Tai Chi may not be right for everyone my experience has shown me that this ancient art has great potential to improve peoples lives. Tai Chi can be a social activity but it is, ultimately, a personal endeavour. For this reason it is very hard to convey it’s true meaning and merit. The only way to really gain an insight into what Tai Chi is really about is to actually do it. I hope that if you are considering learning this ancient art you will go ahead and ‘take the plunge’.

People who drink beer or spirits moderately – which is less than every day – or who drink only wine, do not run the same risks.

Researchers say they were shocked by the findings, which show a direct link between heavy drinking and an increased risk for esophageal, stomach, colon, liver, pancreatic, lung and prostate cancers. The greatest risk was for esophageal cancer, with a sevenfold increase, but heavy drinkers also face an 80 per cent increased risk for colon cancer, and 50 per cent for lung cancer.

The researchers, from the University of Montreal, used data originally collected in the 1980s for a cancer study in the city.

The sweetener causes liver and lung cancers, and, not surprisingly, the risk increases with the amount of aspartame you consume, say researchers from the Cesare Maltoni Cancer Research Centre, in Bologna, Italy.

They made the discovery when they fed laboratory mice and rats with aspartame from pre-birth and until their death.

Research earlier this year showed that the juice extended exercise time among athletes by 16 per cent – but the same researchers have discovered that the elderly or those with a health problem can enjoy similar benefits.

In a new study, researchers at the University of Exeter discovered that the juice helped people use less oxygen when walking, reducing the effort by 12 per cent.

The juice widens the blood vessels, which lowers blood pressure and allows more blood to flow, and also reduces the amount of oxygen needed by muscles.

Researchers made the discovery when they researched the ‘placebo effect’, a standard procedure in drugs research where the patient is given a ‘sugar pill’ instead of the drug, but is not told what he’s been given. The placebo is supposed to eliminate the possibility of positive thinking, and so any beneficial effect beyond that must be down to the drug itself.

But researchers from Harvard Medical School wanted to know if the placebo effect still worked when the patient knows he is taking a useless sugar pill. To find out, they gave placebo pills to 40 IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) patients, while another 40 were given nothing at all. The placebo group was told the tablets were sugar pills, and even the container had the word ‘placebo’ printed on it.

Yet after three weeks, 59 per cent of the placebo reported a significant improvement in their symptoms compared with 35 per cent of those who were not given the placebo. In other words, nearly double the number who took a placebo improved – and to an extent that was equivalent to that expected from a powerful IBS drug.

Researcher Ted Kaptchuk was baffled by the results, but thinks the placebo effect has more to do with medical ritual than merely positive thinking – even when the brain knows it is being deceived.

The faster you walk, the longer you live, researchers have found after studying the walking speeds of 34,485 people aged 65 years and older.

The difference in walking speed becomes especially significant once you reach the age of 75, say researchers from the University of Pittsburgh. While the average walking speed is around 0.8 meters (2.6 feet) a second, those who walked at the faster tempo of 1 meter (3.3 feet) a second were up to 87 per cent more likely to be alive 10 years later if male, and 91 per cent if female.

The researchers say that walking speed is as good a predictor of longevity as medical history – such as blood pressure, obesity and chronic disease – and lifestyle choices, such as smoking.
