Prepare for the Fall!

May this blog find you well, spending time with the people you love, and with your Medicare Insurance making you smile😊.

We had so much fun hanging with family to celebrate a wedding. My wife Quantz was in fine form.

Not everyone could travel to the wedding, but we made sure to include those who stayed at home.

I think weddings are good for the soul. You get to see people you haven’t seen in forever and then you get to go home.

Plato was sure glad to see us when we got home. I confess to being a little tired and a little sore from all the walking and celebrating.

For that reason, I thought it made sense to share one of Dr Mehmet Oz’s wellness videos.

Balance is something we take for granted, until it goes away.

The CDC cites falling as “the leading cause of fatal and nonfatal injuries among adults 65 and older.”  More than 14 million older US adults, one in four, actually report falling annually.

Falls cause fractures, brain injuries, hospitalizations, and the loss of independence.

Any balance strengthening activities we can engage in can help reduce the chances of a fall.

Here are some simple exercises you can do at home:

  • Sit-to-stand:  Rise slowly from a sturdy chair without using your hands, then sit back down. Repeat 5–10 times.
  • Heel raises:  Holding a counter, rise onto your toes, pause and lower. Repeat 10 times.
  • Marching in place:  Hold a counter and slowly lift one knee at a time for 30–60 seconds.
  • Heel-to-toe walk:  Walk in a straight line, placing the heel of one foot directly in front of the toes of the other.

Small positive habits over a long period are the secret to living well. Think of ways to practice balance at home. The benefits will add up over time and Plato will be proud of you!  Now get moving and tell someone you love them!

Keep asking,  What’s the next big thing?

If family or friends need help… referrals are the lifeblood of my business.
