Falls Prevention Recommendations Reinforce Importance of Exercise

News | Falls Prevention Recommendations Reinforce Importance of Exercise The statement from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force reaffirms that exercise can help prevent falls among older adults.

Staying hydrated during the summer is crucial due to the increased risk of dehydration from heat and outdoor activities. Here are six effective ways to stay hydrated:

Drink Plenty of Water:

Carry a water bottle and sip regularly throughout the day.
Aim for at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water daily, more if you're active or in a very hot environment.

Eat Hydrating Foods:

Consume fruits and vegetables with high water content, such as watermelon, cucumbers, strawberries, oranges, and lettuce.

These foods also provide essential vitamins and minerals.

Avoid Excessive Caffeine and Alcohol:

Both caffeine and alcohol can act as diuretics, increasing urine production and leading to dehydration.

Opt for water or herbal teas instead.

Use Rehydration Solutions:

For intense activities or extreme heat, use oral rehydration solutions (ORS) or sports drinks that contain electrolytes.

These help replenish lost salts and minerals, preventing dehydration.

Monitor Your Urine Color:

Check the color of your urine as an indicator of hydration. Light yellow usually indicates good hydration, while dark yellow suggests you need more fluids.
Make adjustments to your fluid intake based on this simple check.

Set Reminders:

Use apps or set alarms to remind you to drink water throughout the day.
Create a schedule, such as drinking a glass of water every hour, to maintain consistent hydration.

By following these tips, you can help ensure that you stay properly hydrated and healthy during the hot summer months.

Fall prevention: Simple tips to prevent falls.
Falls put you at risk of serious injury. Prevent falls with these simple fall prevention measures, from reviewing your medications to hazard-proofing your home.

Make an appointment with your health care provider
Start by making an appointment with your health care provider. To assess your risk and discuss fall prevention strategies, your health care provider may want to talk about the following: Your medications. Any previous falls. Your health condition.

Keep moving
Physical activity can go a long way toward fall prevention.

These activities reduce the risk of falls by improving strength, balance, coordination and flexibility.

Wear sensible shoes
Light up your living space
Use assistive devices

If you do fall and are referred to physical therapy, our therapists will assess you and get you back to feeling good again.
