ofbalance and fall prevention. This area of (4) is important because fall-
relatedinjuries are the leading cause of death from injury and disability among
older adults. Because tai chi movements are slow and deliberate
(5) shifts of body weight from one leg to the other in (6) with upper
body movements, it
challenges balance and many have long assumed it helps improve balance an
d reduce fall frequency.

In a similar tai chi study of older adults, 54% of the subjects who practised tai
chi attributed their improved (7) of confidence to improved balance. One
study
looked at adults in their 60s and 70s who practised tai chi three times a wee
k
for 12 weeks (60minute classes). After (8) just six weeks, statistica
lly significant improvements were observed in balance, muscular strength,
endurance, and flexibility measures. Improvements in each of these areas
increased (9) after another 12 weeks.

The demands of living are stressful for adults of all ages. Although one cannot

Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles through the

patient's skin at specific points on the body, and the needles are inserted to
various depths. The medical community is not in conclusive agreement about
how acupuncture works
scientifically. However, we know that it does have some the rapeutic benefits,
including pain relief.

According to WHO, acupuncture is effective for treating 28 conditions, while

evidence indicates it may have an effective the rapeutic value for many more.
People with tension, headaches or migraines may find acupuncture to be ve
ry
effective in alleviating their symptoms. Another study found that twice weekly
acupuncture treatments relieve debilitating symptoms of zerostomia - severe
dry mouth - among patients treated with head and neck cancer.

Traditional Chinese medicine explains that health is the result of a harmonious

balance of the complementary extremes of yin and yang of the life force
known
as chi or qi. Qi is said to flow through pathways in the human body. Through 3
50 acupuncture points in the body, these pathways and energy flows may be
accessed. Illness is said to be the consequence of an imbalance of the forces.
If needles are inserted into these points with appropriate combinations, it is
said that the energy flow can be brought back into proper balance.

In Western societies and several other parts of the world, acupuncture is

explained, including concepts of neuroscience. Acupuncture points are seen by
Western practitioners as places where nerves, muscles and connective tissue
can be stimulated. Acupuncture practitioners say that the stimulation
increases blood flow while at the same time triggering the activity of
our own body's natural painkillers.
