- Summary:
- This groundbreaking book demonstrates the link between health and metarobics, the author's term for slow, meditative exercises that enhance blood oxygen saturation, diffusion, and oxygen-based metabolism. Metarobics-- including tai chi, qigong, and yoga-- focus on movement, relaxation, and deep breathing. Dr. Gryffin's research shows that mindful exercises offer a wide range of benefits for treating chronic disease.-- Publisher.
