What are the leading causes of falls in older people?
Fall risks are divided into internal and external risks, says Nabors. Internal risks include vision problems, balance issues or trouble with mobility. External risks are factors in your home and community, like uneven sidewalks or electrical cords in walkways.

What can I do to prevent and recover from falls?

If you fall, that doubles your chance of another fall. Check your risk level with this brief National Council on Aging questionnaire.
Nabors recommends asking your doctor to identify your potential fall risks, including vision issues, balance problems and certain chronic conditions, such as arthritis. Nash recommends yearly eye and hearing exams.

Speak with your doctor or pharmacist about medications and their associated risks annually or when you start a new medication, Nabors says. Side effects or interactions with other medications can increase the chance of falling. Be mindful of alcohol and how it might interact with medications.

Staying social can also protect against falls, Nash observes. Relationships lead us to make plans, which naturally increases physical activity.

Improving and maintaining strength and balance lowers your risk of falling, and increases your resilience if you do fall, says Nabors.

More than a quarter of adults over 65 fall annually. Fortunately, it’s avoidable, and when it happens you can recover

Will be a great night discussing the latest research in Women's Health!

We recently were alerted to a 2018 study on the effects of different sports on longevity. It turns out that regular participation in sports is great for helping you live a longer and healthier life. No surprises there, but the magnitude of the effect differs between sports quite considerably.
Copenhagen City Heart Study followed nearly 9,000 people for 25 years and monitored their sporting and other lifestyle habits. This is what they found:
"Life expectancy gains compared with the sedentary group for different sports were as follows: tennis, 9.7 years; badminton, 6.2 years; soccer, 4.7 years; cycling, 3.7 years; swimming, 3.4 years; jogging, 3.2 years; calisthenics, 3.1 years; and health club activities, 1.5 years."

Nearly 10 years longer life by playing tennis! Incredible. Why was that so much more effective than the other sports/activities? Read our blog post

If you have a chronic health condition, or have been suffering with pain and inflammation, you may have been advised to follow an ‘anti-inflammatory diet’. This is a diet aimed at reducing your overall levels of inflammation and is a much healthier and more sustainable approach than relying on anti-inflammatory medication. So what food should you eat, what foods should you avoid, and who should be looking at following it?
