An ancient Chinese exercise practiced for more than 800 years that just takes a few minutes daily is now gaining global attention after researchers discovered that it may help lower high blood pressure naturally.
Researchers in China have found that baduanjin, a traditional exercise combining slow movements, breathing control and meditation may lower blood pressure almost as effectively as some widely prescribed medications. The findings were published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology following a large year-long clinical trial.
