In honor of #WorldDiabetesDay, which is officially November 14, 2020, posting this article that highlights Dr. Paul Lam's Tai Chi for Diabetes program. People with #diabetes may have severe complications if they contract #COVID19, so now more than ever, we need to find ways to reduce and control this chronic condition in our country.
It's truly remarkable that our #taichi Community can empower and possibly change the trajectory of these statistics in the United States:
- 34.2 million Americans—just over 1 in 10—have diabetes.
- 88 million American adults—approximately 1 in 3—have prediabetes.
- New diagnosed cases of type 1 and type 2 diabetes have significantly increased among US youth.
- The percentage of adults with prediabetes who were aware they had the condition doubled between 2005 and 2016, but most continue to be unaware.

Although tai chi is not Dancing with the Stars, it is a form of focused and coordinated movements with unique choreography that can be set to music. Tai Chi benefits the mind, body, reduces falls and offers a social connection that is important to overall health and well-being.
More encouragement to keep practicing tai chi and even do a little dancing. Many of us have fond memories of Dr. Paul Lam showing some of his dancing moves at our annual conferences. ☯️😀

According to U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: One if four Americans aged 65+ falls each year. Every 11 seconds, an older adult is treated in the emergency room for a fall; every 19 minutes, an older adult dies from a fall. Falling is Not a Normal part of aging and it is preventable.
This article from the National Council on Aging (NCOA) has tips for older adults and caregivers to reduce falls, a Falls Free CheckUp, as well as a list of evidence-based fall prevention programs. Dr. Paul Lam's Tai Chi for Arthritis and Fall Prevention Program and the Tai Chi for Health Institute are included in the recommendations.
If you are interested in learning more, tune in to NCOA's Facebook page on Sept. 23 at 6:30 p.m. ET.

September is the first day of fall and also marks the 10th annual National Falls Prevention Awareness Day (FPAD), sponsored by the National Council on Aging (NCOA).
Although this is an older video, Dr. Paul Lam's Tai Chi for Arthritis and Falls Prevention program is timeless. Many of us have our own stories of how tai chi has helped us achieve better health and balance in mind and body. One of the most important lessons that the pandemic has taught us, is that We are All connected and want to live healthy and independent lives, cherishing everyday.
Tai Chi for Health Institute's sole purpose is to improve the health and wellness of all people and ensure anyone from anywhere has access to tai chi and can experience the life changing benefits for themselves.
