Effects of Health Qigong Walking Practice on anxiety and serum metabolites in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A randomized controlled trial
Health Qigong Walking Practice significantly reduces anxiety and improves glucose-lipid metabolism in T2DM patients with anxiety. Its superiority over standard aerobic exercise in glycemic control may be mediated through the integrated regulation of movement, breath, and mind, which modulates key amino acid and nitrogen metabolism pathways. This mind-body intervention offers a promising adjunctive therapy for T2DM.
