TAKE UP TAI CHI\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Taking part in Tai Chi could help to combat depression, research revealed last month.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Going to classes in the ancient Chinese martial art for 12 weeks significantly reduces symptoms of the mental health disorder, a study found.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">It can work independently of treatment, suggesting it may scupper the need for antidepressants, the research adds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The findings hold promise amid soaring rates of depression worldwide, with drugs and therapy often proving ineffective, according to researchers from\u00a0Massachusetts General Hospital.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The meditative practice, which has been used for more than 1,000 years, combines deep breathing and slow and gentle movements.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Study author Professor Albert Yeung said: &#8216;Finding Tai Chi can be effective is particularly significant because it is culturally accepted by this group of patients who tend to avoid conventional psychiatric treatment.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\"><span class=\"mol-style-medium health-ccox mol-style-bold\">How the study was carried out<\/span> \u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Researchers from the universities of Coventry and Radboud analysed 18 studies with 846 participants conducted over 11 years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Studies were included in the analysis if they measured gene expression after a MBI.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\"><span class=\"mol-style-medium health-ccox mol-style-bold\">Key findings<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Results revealed people who practice MBIs produce significantly lower amounts of  molecules that activate inflammation-causing genes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">These molecules are released after a stressful event due to the &#8216;fight or flight&#8217; response.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Inflammation has been linked to cancer, accelerated ageing and poor mental health.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Ms Buric said: &#8216;Millions of people around the world already enjoy the health benefits of mind-body interventions like yoga or meditation, but what they perhaps don&#8217;t realise is that these benefits begin at a molecular level and can change the way our genetic code goes about its business.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;These activities are leaving what we call a molecular signature in our cells, which reverses the effect that stress or anxiety would have on the body by changing how our genes are expressed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;Put simply, MBIs cause the brain to steer our DNA processes along a path which improves our wellbeing.&#8217;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The findings were published\u00a0in the journal Frontiers in Immunology.<\/p>\n<p>        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-2caca8a8962b6d84\" src=\"image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" height=\"407\"

inflammation-causing genes<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\"><span class=\"mol-style-medium health-ccox mol-style-bold\">Why the research is important\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The researchers believe the inflammation-causing fight-or-flight response, which is involved in wound healing, would have played an important role when we were hunter-gatherers due to there being a higher risk of infection from wounds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Today, however, when stress is  often long term and more internal than injury-related, inflammation-causing gene expression can be persistent and  cause  medical problems.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Ms Buric said: &#8216;More needs to be done to understand these effects in greater depth, for example how they compare with other healthy interventions like exercise or nutrition.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;But this is an important foundation to build on to help future researchers explore the benefits of increasingly popular mind-body activities.&#8217;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\n<p>            <!-- ad:
