'On the back' of The Tao of Health and Longevity

For centuries Taoism has offered its practitioners physical, mental, and spiritual health and longevity. Today Taoist exercises are still performed by millions in China, and interest in these practices has spread to America, largely through the efforts of Da Liu.

In this revised edition of his classic book, Master Liu, who began teaching Tai Chi Chuan at the United Nations and the China Institute almost four decades ago, provides powerful Taoist precepts for a long, healthy, and happy life.

After discussing the historical development and main techniques of Taoism and Confucianism as they relate to health and longevity, Master Liu offers practical, fully illustrated instructions in breathing and fifty essential Tai Chi Ch'uan forms and other exercises designed to:
promote good digestion and improve appetite

maintain proper blood pressure and circulation
bolster the immune system and increase vitality prevent, and in some cases even cure, heart disease and cancer

In addition Master Liu describes self-treatments like acupressure and self-massage, and discusses Chinese health foods, herbs, and teas that heal and strengthen every system of the body.

DA LIU, now ninety-two years old, was credited by Newsweek with introducing Tai Chi Ch'uan to the United States in the 1950s.

President of the Tai Chi Ch'uan Society of New York, he has written many books including Taoist Health Exercise Book (Marlowe), Tao and Chinese Culture, and Tai Chi Chuan and Meditation. He lives in New York City.
