Many people who practice chi gong find that it is good for their mental health. In most cases, improved mood is one of the most straightforward outcomes. This could be because it is a form of physical exercise but many people who do it find it is even better for them than other things they do in terms of sports and physical activity. Psychologically speaking, chi gong tends to help people to recover from anxiety and depression as well as helping them to react less to stress. However, some studies have also shown that it may have a physiological benefit in terms of lower levels of cortisol production, a hormone that is associated with stress. All forms of the practice tend to help with these mental health outcomes.
