294. Easy Ways to Improve Your BALANCE & Prevent Falls
Self Care Simplified - A podcast by Megan Dahlman
Statistically, every second of every day an older adult (age 65+) suffers a fall in the U.S. I did the math for you - that’s 86,400 falls each day! That’s 31 million falls a year - and women are falling way more often than men. But what if I told you it didn’t have to be that way. Today is part two of a little mini-series, and I’m kind of doing these backwards. Last week we tackled steps you can take to make sure you don’t get severely injured if and when you fall. This week, you’re going to learn how to prevent falls from happening in the first place. Tune in as I discuss: Why falls happen - and why we’re more prone to them as we age. The three specific areas to improve to help prevent falling. Simple exercises to start now that will help keep you safely on your feet and on the go! Don’t let yourself become a falling statistic! Grab a pen and get ready to learn how to stay safe and active as you age!
