Falls In Elderly and Senior
Falls
in elderly occur with 35 to 45 percent of seniors each year. This is generally
due to age-related declines in our
reaction times, along with reduced strength and flexibility in our muscles.
Below
I have made a great balance video that is fun and easy to do. All you need is a
chair, comfortable loose fitting clothing,
and a pair of smooth bottom shoes to wear so you won't catch your feet.
Read on then give it a try.
Other causes can be due to the environment and
activities around the home. I can't tell you how many times I am rehabbing
someone for a broken wrist or arm because they fell in the back yard while
working in the garden.
It's the hoses fault, don't you know! That
silly hose is always in the darnedest spot. (Usually across the sidewalk!)
What can we do? To help with falls in elderly
try balance exercises that work on strengthening our legs and arms and increase
our range of motion. In that way we will help reduce the risk of falls.
Do
It Yourself Exercise Programs
Squat,
Lunge, Bend, Twist, Push, Pull and Gait! These are the 7 basic movements that
are incorporated into every effect exercise program, and are the building
blocks to your own custom workout. There tons of pre designed exercise programs
that claim to be the best, and will work for anyone no matter who you are.
The
trouble is that they rarely do because people don’t want to stick to the strict
regimented exercise program. The main reason people tend to not stick to
exercise programs like that is because they are afraid to change even the
slightest part of the equation. The rationality of it is that changing it will
cause it to not work. So instead of using a pre-fabricated exercise program,
learn the basics of designing your own. This way you can make changes as they
are needed while making sure you are getting the full work out promised in the
“professionally designed” exercise programs.
Wouldn’t
it be nice to have a personal trainer at your beck and call every day of the
week? Okay, maybe not nice as such, but certainly useful. You’d no longer have
any excuse for delaying regular exercise and dusty workout gear would be a
thing of the past. In fact, you’d be a fitness fanatic in no time!
A
Healthy Menu For
Tuesday
By
following the Health and Human Service Department's "Dietary Approaches to
Stop Hypertension" program, you will eat well and help lower your blood
pressure. Begin your day with 3/4 cup of bran cereal with a banana in low-fat
milk, a slice of toast and cup of orange juice. For lunch, eat a chicken salad
sandwich on whole wheat with Dijon mustard, a cup of salad with a teaspoon of
low-fat Italian dressing and a cup of fruit cocktail. Dinner consists of three
ounces of eye of the round beef, two tablespoons of fat-free beef gravy, a cup
of green beans and a small baked potato. Snack on unsalted almonds, raisins and
a half cup of nonfat fruit yogurt during the day.
