Adults with stage 1 hypertension who practiced baduanjin—an eight-movement Chinese mind-body routine—had modest but measurable reductions in systolic blood pressure over three months that were maintained at one year, with results comparable to brisk walking, according to a randomized trial published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
An international meta-analysis slated for presentation at the European Congress on Obesity (ECO 2026) in Istanbul, Turkey (May 12–15) suggests that people who increase their walking to roughly 8,500 steps a day during a weight-loss program and sustain similar levels afterward may be less likely to regain weight.
