Content: Healthy aging comes with challenges. For a variety of reasons, as each year passes, the likelihood of falling increases.

According to Dr. Boris Goralnik, a geriatric specialist at UPMC in North Central Pa, a fall is defined as an unexpected event in which a person comes to rest on the ground, floor, or a lower level.

“Falls result in fall-related injuries, progression of gait impairments, loss of independence, depression,” Goralnik said. “It is a leading cause of injury-related morbidity and mortality among older adults.”

By preventing falls, providers try to prevent related injuries such as fractures, hematomas, and skin lacerations. From practice and literature, said Goralnik, the most important risk factor of falls is a previous history of falls.

According to Janine Fee, MS, MPT, a physical therapist who is certified in vestibular rehabilitation at Evangelical Community Hospital, physical balance, which is important to avoid falling, can be complicated.

“I like to use the analogy of a baseball field,’’ Fee said. “Every player on the field is important and if a player is not working, then your team — your balance — is going to be impacted.”

Fee said many systems have a direct impact on balance. Eyes, ears, sense of touch — especially with our feet, muscle strength, flexibility, and posture are a few. And, the brain can have a major impact on our ability to avoid falling.

Fee said any weakening of one or more of these areas will significantly increase the risk of falling.

According to the Centers for Disease Control website, one out of four seniors over the age of 65 will fall each year. One out of five of those falls will cause serious injuries such as broken bones or head injuries.

“This can then lead to serious consequences that may significantly impact a person’s overall quality of life,” said Fee. “Even if the fall didn’t cause harm, it is likely that the person now develops a fear of falling.”

Many factorsIn many cases, Goralnik said, falls and fall-related injuries lead to substantial deficiency in activities of daily living and the need for supportive care for older adults. He agreed with Fee that a fear of falling leads to things like not participating in activities that require balance, causing weaknesses and furthering the risk of repeated falls. Paying attention to the body and being more aware of areas contributing to balance is a big step in preventing falls.

Age alone should not be blamed as a factor regarding balance, said Fee.

“I strongly believe that if you stay active, you can minimize the effects that aging has on all of these players,” Fee said.

Diseases and underlying medical conditions like Parkinson’s disease, Multiple Sclerosis, neuropathy, strokes, vision problems, and pain can impact a person’s balance. Other factors such as medications, fear of falling, and environmental factors.

It is very important for older patients to discuss with their providers any changes in the gait, possible new onset gait unsteadiness, or if they start to experience new musculoskeletal pain, Goralnik advised.

“Some of the medications may increase the risk of falls,” said Goralnik. “It is very important for people to have a complete list of all current medications when they visit their medical providers.”

Having detailed information, he said, about existing and potential risk factors may help reduce the risk of future falls.

Fee added that testing can be completed to assess balance and what kind of treatment or therapy might be available to assist with balance. Fee said a fall risk assessment is a good first step to preventing falls.

“You can talk to your doctor or health care provider to refer you to a physical therapist to evaluate your risk for falling,” said Fee.

She said a physical therapist will measure/evaluate strength, flexibility, analyzation of posture and feet, how you walk and perform specific balance measures to determine your areas of weakness. The therapist may also ask about fall history and possible home hazards like uneven pavement, rugs, steps, clutter or pets.

“Then a physical therapist can design a specialized treatment program to help you reduce your risk of falls,” Fee said. “Other recommendations to improve overall balance is getting involved in a local gym where you can perform strength and balance exercises like Tai Chi or yoga.”

Temporary conditionsIn addition to medical conditions such as strokes, brain injuries, etc., other temporary conditions also have effects on an individual’s balance.

Fee, a physical therapist who specializes in inner ear disorders, said the most common inner ear problem is a condition known as Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV). Classic symptoms include brief episodes of spinning or imbalance that occur when lying down, rolling over in bed, or looking up.

“BPPV can significantly increase a person’s risk for falling especially if they have other balance risk factors. This problem is easily identified by the physical therapist that is trained in detecting inner ear problems,” she added.

Fee said a physical therapist with specialized training can provide the most appropriate intervention to reduce or resolve these symptoms in as little as one to three sessions.

Fee said physical therapists can often identify risk factors and provide specific recommendations to improve balance.

“Physical therapists are like coaches, but you have to do the work. In order for your balance to improve, you have to challenge the team!”

Goralnik added, that in many cases, falls and fall-related injuries lead to substantial deficiency with activities of daily living and the need for supportive care for older adults.

The economic burdens from falls are substantial and likely to increase with the growth of the older population, according to Goralnik.

Fall-related health care costs include hospital bills, fees for professional service, and costs of prescription medications, home health services, long-term care facilities, and durable medical equipment.

“Always inform your doctor about recent falls and fall-related injuries,” concluded Gorainik.

It is very important for seniors to discuss any changes of the gait, possible new onset gait unsteadiness, or if they started to experience new musculoskeletal pain with their doctor.

Content: Exercise programs meant to prevent falls in seniors may also help prevent injuries caused by falls, according to a new review.

Fall-related injuries are common among seniors and a major cause of long-term pain and disability. They also increase the risk of having to go to a nursing home and have a high economic cost.

The new findings, published online Oct. 29 in the journal bmj.com, suggest that "reducing the risk of falling and improving protective responses during a fall may be an important and feasible means of preventing fractures and other serious injuries in the elderly," the study authors wrote in a journal news release.

Well-designed exercise programs can prevent falls in seniors living at home, but there is a lack of evidence on whether such programs can help prevent fall-related injuries, said French researchers Fabienne El-Khoury and colleagues.

In this review, they analyzed 17 studies that looked at whether fall-prevention exercises lowered seniors' risk of fractures and other injuries caused by falls. More than 4,000 participants were involved in all.

Tai Chi was the exercise in two of the studies, but most of them used gait, balance, strength and functional training, which involves workouts that help people do normal daily activities.

Most of the programs reduced fall-related injuries and appeared to significantly curb falls that lead to fractures, serious injuries and medical care.

Balance training was emphasized in all of the exercises that were effective in preventing falls, the researchers noted.

A personal trainer shares 1 simple longevity exercise you can do anywhere

  • A trainer who works with people in their 60s to 90s said stability is key to a long, healthy life.
  • She said balance exercises go a long way to help you age gracefully.
  • Every bit of exercise adds up, and you can start working out now for a long, healthy life.

No matter your age, the best time to start exercising to age gracefully is right now, and you don't need a gym to do it, according to a trainer who specializes in fitness for a long, healthy life.

Andi Kwapien has spent more than two decades as an instructor for SilverSneakers, an exercise program for adults aged 65 and older (available at no cost with eligible Medicare plans).

Kwapien told Business Insider that she sees firsthand the benefits of exercise for people in their 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s, even if they've just started a fitness routine.

"It is never too late," she said. "Even people in their much later years see improvements in muscular endurance, muscular strength, even some muscle mass building back up to help with frailty."

One of the most important exercises for longevity is one you can start doing right now without going to a gym or class.

Kwapien said stability exercise can help anyone move and feel better in everyday activities, and fortifies your body against the natural wear and tear of aging.

Try movements like quick-step knee raises, single-leg balance drills, and core exercises to help you stay fit for years to come.

Stability training can help you stay strong and prevent injury as you age

Research shows that having good balance is linked to a longer life, based on a simple one-leg balance test.

But Kwapien goes even further and teaches people how to apply balance in everyday activities to feel and move better.

"We speak in real-life terms so that our members know why we're doing what we're doing," Kwapien said. "You're not standing on one leg in your kitchen, you're moving around and putting stuff on high shelves and tripping over your cat. Those kinds of things."

One of Kwapien's go-to exercise routines trains balance, reaction time, and stability all at once with a series of quick steps into a knee raise hold. To do it, take a few quick shuffle steps forward and lift one knee, holding your balance in that position. You can also move side to side or add a quarter turn to make it more challenging.

Kwaipen said she's seen clients experience major health benefits from the exercise — one woman said doing the drill helped her avoid serious injury when her dog pulled her off balance to chase after a rabbit.

"One of my members emailed me and she says, 'Andi, I just have to let you know I hate that step, quick hold. But let me tell you saved me. I didn't fall over because I had that ability,'" Kwapien said. "Not that I hope that you ever have that situation, but my hope is that the training is real life to what you need."

Stability training is also great for building muscle and protecting your joints with functional movements like step-ups and other single-leg exercises.

Other trainers also recommend the Pallof press and plank variations for a strong core.

Stability can give you a challenging work out, too. More intense versions of stability exercises include movements like single-leg squats that can work your hip and mobility as well as strengthen your legs.

Even a few minutes of exercise a day can help you live longer and be healthier

Whether you're new to fitness or an experienced athlete, consistency is key to exercise, so the best strategy is to find something you can do long-term, according to Kwapien.

"Start now and have fun with it. If exercise isn't fun, you're not going to do it," she said. "If you have the best program in the world and you do it one time, it does not give you the benefits. Just keep going regularly every week."

Research suggests that every minute of exercise (even walking) adds up to help stave off chronic illnesses like cancer and heart disease.

Aim to fit all kinds of movement into your life, and incorporate stability and other longevity exercises such as mobility work into a routine you enjoy.

"If you like yoga, that's great, and if you like dance, that's wonderful. And if tai chi's your thing, fantastic. And if you like to run great, if you like to lift hefty heavy things, great, want to go a little lighter, fine. It's all good and it's all going to provide a benefit," Kwapien said.

For example, Taijiquan, Baduanjin and other sports can be carried out, and there are some small moves to strengthen exercise for preventing elderly people from falling.
Families are a common place for falls among the elderly.
The Chinese CDC suggests that the home environment can be adapted for aging.
For example, the ground anti-skid treatment, in the toilet, toilet, stairs and other positions to install handrails, remove the indoor floor height difference, improve indoor lighting and lighting, night can use night lights, replace the height and soft and hard uncomfortable sofa, etc., remove the indoor will hinder the elderly moving items.
In addition, the rain and snow weather elderly should be minimized to go out.

Chi is the key

Inglis Carré

Special to the Village News

What is Chi? It is a special type of energy. Every living thing has Chi. Inanimate objects have it also. Chi flows in our bodies through pathways called meridians and it can be enhanced by special exercises, massage, and meditation. Chi also surrounds us. It is in the very air we breathe.

The Chinese character for Chi represents steam, vapor, or mist rising upward from a pot of rice, which is connected to the concept of nourishment. The vapor or mist calls to mind breathing, which can be controlled to facilitate the flow of Chi in the body. The word "Chi" or "Qi" can be translated as air, energy, or spirit, and the word "Gong" or "kung" means achievement, skill, or work.

Recommendations about cultivating and managing Chi can be found in several cultures. The concept of Chi dates from the ancient Chinese Book of Changes from about 2000 B.C. and has come down to the present day to become "The Force" in "Star Wars." It has been preserved, honored, and known by many names as it has traveled through time.

When we practice the gentle arts of Tai Chi and Chi Gong with attention to magnifying and moving the Chi, we enjoy many health benefits. Among these benefits are enhanced flexibility, balance, strength, cardiovascular health, increase bone density, relaxation of the mind and emotional balance. According to Eastern wisdom, our health improves when we have more energy circulating in our bodies and our ability to handle stress increases.

Whether we are learning Tai Chi or Chi Gong, there are guidelines involving posture, breathing, and mindfulness that help us to circulate the Chi energy. Blockages of the Chi flow can be caused by straining too much in our exercises, being under stress, or holding on to negative emotions. But being totally relaxed and in the present moment, we encourage a connection with the Chi energy which is the key to optimal physical and emotional health.

What does Chi feel like? It manifests in many ways. There could be tingling in your hands or feet. For some people, it is an inner feeling of wellness, wholeness, and calm. There can be a sense of aliveness and awareness that travels out into our surroundings, enriching our interactions with others, and our creative endeavors. Think of Chi as a key to the door between the world of the senses and the world of the spirit.

May the force be with you!

Content: Diet and wellbeing guru Dr Michael Mosley has revealed that doing one thing for four minutes a day is almost guaranteed to make you live longer. The TV doctor who has recently published his Just One Thing book in paperback said the simple practice of standing on one leg was the ‘number one’ predictor in a scientific study which predicted if a person lived longer.

Speaking on the 15.5 stories broadcast to Masterchef winner Thomasina Miers he said that if people build it into their everyday lives - he does it when brushing his teeth - it was a brilliant way to improve their chances of staying alive for longer.

He explained that it tested the brain in many different ways, improving balance, helping leg muscles and co-ordinating with the inner ear. One reason it is successful in helping with a longer life is balance - if people have falls when they are elderly it is potentially lethal - and can cause serious health problems and injuries.

Dr Mosley, who is famous for creating the 5:2 and Fast 800 eating plans, said the extensive survey - published in the British Medical Journal - involved running lots of tests on some middle aged people - and then following up 20 years later. And the people who lived longer had mostly performed the best in the balance test.

Speaking about exercises which people find help with their health, Dr Mosley told Thomasina Miers: “We talked about resistance exercise - the squat and the press-up - to build up your muscles. There’s also aerobic exercise where you go for a run, walk or cycle and that works your heart and your lungs.

“But balance is something we don’t really think about that much because we take it for granted. But actually balance is an extraordinary thing. We are pretty much the only mammal that can stand on two legs.

“That was an enormous achievement - it freed up our hands. Arguably it was the beginning of the human race as we know it when the first apes stood upright.

“There is a practical reason why you want to work on your balance. That is because falling over accidentally is the second most common preventable cause of death worldwide after road traffic accidents.

“Particularly as people get older they fall, they break a hip or something like that so you kind of want to work on your balance. You can do it by doing tai chi or yoga but I like to do it by standing on one leg when I’m brushing my teeth.

“So it’s another example of something I already do which is I brush my teeth for two minutes in the morning and the evening and so why not incorporate standing on one leg?

“I stand on one leg for 30 seconds then I switch to the other one.” Dr Mosley said using an electric toothbrush was the best method as doing it with a normal manual brush was ‘really tough’.

“There are lots of benefits to it, not just in terms of balance. There was a study done some years ago which was published in the BMJ where they got a group of middle-aged people and they ran a bunch of tests on them and one of them was their ability to stand on one leg. Could they do it for a minute or not.

“20 years later they followed them up to see what had become of them. And that was the single best predictor of who would still be alive. Of live expectancy that was it.” Thomasina Miers was stunned replying: “Wow.”

“It’s partly because when you are standing on one leg you are combining so many different things. It’s cognitively challenging, it’s challenging to your brain. Your brain has to co-ordinate three things.

“You’re getting inputs from your eyes, you’re getting information from your inner ear, and you’re also getting information from the leg. Your brain has to co-ordinate all those things and it’s really quite hard.

“Practicing it is good for the brain, it’s good for your sense of balance, it’s good for your leg muscles and if you try doing it with your eyes shut you will discover just how hard it really is.

“Most people aged under 60 can probably do 20-30 seconds with their eyes open. If you can do more than 10 seconds with your eyes closed, you are doing really well.”

Content: Study suggests tai chi is better than aerobic exercise at lowering blood pressure

According to a recent study, Tai Chi, an ancient Chinese martial art, lowers blood pressure more effectively than other types of exercise such as stair climbing or brisk walking. Over a year, Chinese researchers examined two groups of high blood pressure participants—one performing the Chinese martial arts and the other with aerobic exercise.

The study's authors argue that their findings, which were published in the JAMA Network Open Journal, should persuade medical professionals to advocate for moderate martial arts as a means of preventing heart disease in those with high blood pressure.

How was the study conducted?

The study included 349 individuals, 51.5% of whom were women, who had been diagnosed with prehypertension and were randomized to either the aerobic exercise or tai chi group. During a 12-month period, both groups engaged in four weekly 60-minute supervised sessions.

The aerobic exercise interventions comprised jogging, cycling, brisk walking, and climbing stairs. The tai chi group practiced Yang-style tai chi, which consists of 24 standard movements or forms. At baseline, six, and twelve months, blood pressure was measured. The mean change in SBP from baseline to 12 months, as measured while walking and in an office setting, was the main endpoint.

At the end of the research, blood pressure was within normal range in 21.8% of the tai chi group and 15.6% of the aerobic exercise group without medication. In the tai chi group, fewer patients had advanced hypertension (12.0% vs. 17.7%) than in the aerobic exercise group.

What is tai chi?

Tai Chi is an ancient Chinese martial art that has gained popularity as a kind of meditation and mind-body workout. Its roots are in traditional Chinese medicine and Taoist philosophy, which date back to ancient China.

Key features

This practice is known for its slow, methodical movements that seamlessly transition from one stance to the next. These motions, which are frequently continuous and circular, encourage balance, flexibility, and calmness.

This practice places a strong emphasis on the relationship that exists between the mind and the body. Practitioners emphasize developing an internal awareness, living in the now, and synchronizing their movements with their breath.

This practice includes aspects of meditation that promote a relaxed and concentrated state of mind. People who participate in the technique, which is sometimes referred to as "moving meditation," perform a series of flowing motions while paying close attention.

This practice incorporates a lot of weight shifting and deliberate walking into its routines, which can enhance balance and coordination. Because of this, this Chinese practice is very helpful for senior citizens and anyone looking to improve their stability.

Regular practice has been linked to many health advantages, such as higher mental clarity, lower stress levels, enhanced flexibility, improved cardiovascular health, and an overall sense of well-being.

These results clearly show that this Chinese practice can be very helpful in lowering sympathetic excitability and offering prehypertensive people primary treatment. This practice may be a more beneficial option for controlling high blood pressure than standard aerobic activities, especially for people with prehypertension, according to new research.

Future research is necessary to fully investigate the possible advantages and long-term impacts of this Chinese practice in the management of hypertension.

Content: 7 Exercises Necessary for Perfect Balance
Balance is your ability to coordinate and control your body ’ s center of gravity – in everyday life you have to deal with this all the time!
For example, your balance ensures that you can walk without falling.
(Illustrated - Gettyimages)
Although it may not occur to you, you need a good balance to do almost everything, including walking, getting up from a chair and bending over to tie your shoes.
Balance training involves doing muscle-strengthening exercises that help keep you upright, including your legs and torso as these types of exercises can improve stability and help prevent falls.
And while there are intense balancing exercises like some very challenging yoga poses, others are as simple as standing on one leg for a few seconds.
If you have a problem with this, you can use equipment that forces your body to stabilize, such as a semi-circular stability ball.
Meaning of Balance
Balance is your ability to coordinate and control your body ’ s center of gravity – in everyday life you have to deal with this all the time!
For example, your balance ensures that you can walk without falling, that you can sit up straight, and that you can jump over a hole without falling.
Your body uses different systems: your eyes (the visual system) help you see the space around you, your inner ear (the vestibular system) records rotating movements and accelerations, and the receptors in your joints and muscles and the pressure receptors in your skin (together the stimulus receptor system) transmit changes in your posture.
All the stimuli your body receives through these systems come together in your central nervous system, and your brain in turn sends the message to your muscles that adapt immediately to prevent you from falling; all this has to happen at lightning speed and that ’ s what it should be, as our bodies have to adapt constantly as we move.
With the help of balanced training, you can teach your muscles to respond more quickly to brain messages as this allows you to improve fine motor and coordination skills.
Areas targeted by balance
• Middle: Yes, balance exercises target this area, you need strong core muscles to achieve good balance, many stability exercises work to exercise the abdominal muscles and other core muscles.
• Forearms: No, balance exercises do not target these ends, most balance exercises revolve around balance on your feet.
Legs: Yes, the legs are definitely areas where balance is targeted, and exercises in which you balance on one leg and then squat or lean forward also work to exercise the leg muscles.
Buttock: Yes, the same balance exercises that work on the legs also work to strengthen the buttocks.
Back: Another area targeted by balance exercises, where your core muscles include some of your back muscles.
Good balance depends on:
Sensory information from your eyes (visual system), muscles, tendons, joints (stimulation inputs), and balance organs in the inner ear (vestibular system).
The brain stem understands all of this sensory information combined with other parts of the brain.
Movement of your eyes to keep things stable in your vision and maintain your balance.
What are the benefits of balance training?
The benefits of balance training are great, for example:
• You can improve your posture and you can stand or sit better.
• Train your deep muscles, especially the muscles in the torso and around the spine.
• Reduce back wear and less muscle pain due to poor posture.
Prevent injuries during exercise and in daily life because your body is not constantly out of balance, causing muscle strain.
• Ability to perform movements more efficiently and smoothly.
A positive effect on how your body feels and your performance improves as you make faster progress.
• Improve the motor coordination of the body.
How often do you have to do this type of training?
You have to aim to do balance workouts one to two times a week, this applies to beginners all the way to advanced athletes, and it is very important that professionals improve their stability as well.
Simple exercises to get the perfect balance:
Tai Chi (Tai Chi)
Studies show that tai chi, a gentle exercise often called “movement meditation, ” can help you reduce falls if you ’ re older and have balance problems, a skilled teacher can show you slow and precise movements that help you not only achieve more stability but also boost your overall health and mood as well.
Standing on one leg (one-legged stand)
Start by installing yourself on the back of the chair or any other sturdy handle.
Raise one foot to approximately calf level and hold for 10 seconds.
• Repeat this 10-15 times and then move on to the other leg.
As time goes on and your balance improves you may be able to continue in this situation without fixating yourself on any purpose.
Weight Shifts (Weight Shifts)
Stand with your feet spaced by the width of your hip.
Slowly lean forward horizontally on one leg to bear all your weight while lifting the other leg off the ground.
• Wait for up to 30 seconds, then move to the other side.
You can do the same exercise while standing straight and raising one leg forward or left / right.
• Yoga and Pilates
To maintain your balance, you need muscles that can hold you while standing, walking, or doing other movements. These muscles are known as your “core muscles. ” Yoga and Pilates involve movements that help you stretch and strengthen these muscles, but first consult your doctor before starting and to learn the movements correctly it is a good idea to join a nearby class taught by a certified instructor.
Heel-to-Toe Walk
Walk slowly in a straight line.
• Touch your heel to the opposite toe as you progress.
Walk about 20 steps using the wall for support if you feel unsteady.
Back Leg Raises (Back Leg Raises)
To build up the lower back and buttocks, try raising your back leg while standing upright.
Hold a chair and lift one of your legs back without bending your knee or pointing your toe.
• Keep the leg on the floor slightly bent.
• Hold position for 5 seconds.
Do this 10-15 times with the first leg before moving on to the other leg.
• Squats (squats)
To strengthen the muscles of your legs and pelvis, do a squat exercise.
Stand up straight, make your feet slightly wider than your hips while pointing your toes forward.
Bend your knees and send your ass back, and slowly descend as if you were sitting.
Place your weight on your heels and arms in front of you or on your thighs.
Raise yourself once and repeat 10 times.
To get a better idea of how strong your balance is while standing, lift one foot and see how long you can keep it there, or test your balance as you move and try to walk as if you were on a tightrope for 10 steps and see how it goes, you ’ ve probably noticed that one side is much stronger and more coordinated than the other.

Content: Tai Chi Tops Other Exercises for Blood Pressure

More participants in a yearlong study saw their numbers drop than those who did aerobic exercises
By Gina Carey,  Newser Staff
Posted Mar 17, 2024 8:23 AM CDT

Signing up for a tai chi class might come with an unexpected health benefit: lower blood pressure. A new clinical trial found that participants with prehypertension or slightly elevated blood pressure had improved measurements after practicing tai chi for a year—even more so than a group that regularly did aerobic exercises, reports the Washington Post. The yearlong study split 342 adults in China into two groups. The first group was given an aerobic regimen—60 minutes of moderate exercise like brisk walking—to practice four times per week. The second group learned a tai chi routine to perform four times weekly for an hour.

The participants had their blood pressure measured six months in, and then again after a year. During the course of the study, they also received health education and were encouraged to follow a diet developed to improve heart health. While all participants were at risk of hypertension at the start of the study, 21.8% of people from the tai chi group saw their blood pressure lowered to an ideal range, while 15.6% from the aerobic group fell within that range, according to the study published in the journal JAMA Network Open. So what might explain tai chi's advantage in lowering blood pressure?

Ruth Taylor-Piliae of University of Arizona's College of Nursing tells NPR that tai chi's gentle, slow movements and controlled breathing tend to activate what's known as the parasympathetic nervous system, which relaxes the body during times of stress. She also notes that it's an accessible form of exercise. "I think the beauty of tai chi is that you don't have to have a special gym membership, you don't have to have special clothing," says Taylor-Piliae, who was not involved in study. "Once you learn tai chi, you can do it anytime, anyplace, anywhere. And it does kind of provide that calming, relaxing" effect. Other benefits associated with tai chi include improved balance, flexibility, and muscle strength, per Harvard Health. (More blood pressure stories.)

Exercise programs like Tai Chi can help seniors prevent falls and reduce the risk of fractures and serious injuries.

Title:

Content: Exercise programs meant to prevent falls in seniors may also help prevent injuries caused by falls, according to a new review.

Fall-related injuries are common among seniors and a major cause of long-term pain and disability. They also increase the risk of having to go to a nursing home and have a high economic cost.

The new findings, published online Oct. 29 in the journal bmj.com, suggest that "reducing the risk of falling and improving protective responses during a fall may be an important and feasible means of preventing fractures and other serious injuries in the elderly," the study authors wrote in a journal news release.

Well-designed exercise programs can prevent falls in seniors living at home, but there is a lack of evidence on whether such programs can help prevent fall-related injuries, said French researchers Fabienne El-Khoury and colleagues.

In this review, they analyzed 17 studies that looked at whether fall-prevention exercises lowered seniors' risk of fractures and other injuries caused by falls. More than 4,000 participants were involved in all.

Tai Chi was the exercise in two of the studies, but most of them used gait, balance, strength and functional training, which involves workouts that help people do normal daily activities.

Most of the programs reduced fall-related injuries and appeared to significantly curb falls that lead to fractures, serious injuries and medical care.

Balance training was emphasized in all of the exercises that were effective in preventing falls, the researchers noted.

Content: Learn about the sport of Tai Chi
The German health centre says Tai Chi is a centuries-old Chinese martial art, also known as shadow boxing.
It combines physical training, self-defense and meditation.
The focus of Tai Chi is on body tightening, mental alertness and breathing, the center explained, noting that motor training consists of a series of traditional Chinese physical exercises that flow smoothly with each other in order to achieve harmony between body and soul.
Muscle and Joint Stimulation
In this way all the muscles, tendons, joints and bones are stimulated and stretched in a gentle way.
The upright position of the back during exercise creates a stretching effect in the spine, relieving pressure on the intervertebral discs.
The nervous system is also positively affected by the gentle posture of the back.
Studies have suggested that tai chi reduces the risk of falls in older adults thanks to its ability to improve their balance.
The sport also has a positive effect on degenerative arthritis, the symptoms of which are knee stiffness, pain and swelling.
Improve lung function
Tai chi is also beneficial for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) as it improves lung function.
It is also useful for patients with Parkinson ’ s, which affects the nervous system and its symptoms are disorders of movement, tremor of the hands, stiffness and instability of the body position, where sports contribute to improving balance and mobility.
In addition, tai chi improves the cognitive functioning of the brain, making it also useful for dementia patients.
On the other hand, slow flowing movements have a relaxing and meditative effect, helping to feel relaxed, calm and psychologically comfortable.

A financial analyst explains how tai chi 'stress bending' helped her avoid burnout in her high-stakes career

  • Former financial analyst Shirley Chock said tai chi helped her thrive in a career prone to burnout.
  • She now teaches tai chi full-time to help others boost their focus and energy while reducing stress.
  • Tai chi has been linked to a longer life, lower risk of illness, and better mental health, research suggests.

Former Yale financial analyst Shirley Chock is no stranger to stress.

Throughout her career, she saw her peers crumbling from the pressure of juggling a heavy workload and high-stakes assignments while trying to keep their health and their personal lives afloat.

In contrast, Chock found herself much better off, working her way up through the ranks to a manager position and even netting a Working Mother of the Year award, with energy to spare.

Her "secret" to success? Tai chi, a traditional Chinese martial art known for slow, gentle movements, which she said helped her stress-proof her routine.

"I realized I was applying what I was learning in the martial art to my career and my life," she told Business Insider. "It was like I discovered a secret scroll because no one talked about tai chi in this way."

Tai chi was the key to staying healthy, focused, and energized in a career that left colleagues burned out, according to Chock.

"They just seemed like they were beaten down and facing obstacles all the time. And it was a much easier road for me to navigate the career," she said. "I had energy at the end of the day."

The experience was so profound that Chock left her finance career to teach the art full time with Aiping Tai Chi, a Connecticut-based school with a growing social media presence.

Now her goal is to create an "army of stress-benders," demonstrating how to use tai chi to reduce stress, improve focus, and boost physical and mental health even (or especially) in a fast-paced, ambitious lifestyle.

"It helps you to stay centered so that you don't get distracted by all of these things that are trying to pull you away from your focus," Chock said.

How tai chi can make you mentally and physically stronger as you age

Chock found tai chi by accident. She initially used the deliberate, graceful movements of the practice to recover from an injury while training and competing in mixed martial arts and kung fu.

"I thought it would just be a recovery thing for me because I really wanted to do the cool acrobatic moves," Chock said. "I had this misconception that had was for old people like everybody else."

It's true that tai chi has some serious benefits for healthy aging, helping to improve factors linked to a longer life like balance, mobility, and stability. Evidence also suggests it can help lower blood pressure, even in younger people. Practicing tai chi has been linked to better wellbeing, lower risk of anxiety, and fewer symptoms of depression in some studies.

But Chock was most excited about how learning tai chi was teaching her about habits to improve focus and energy in the rest of her life, and became hooked on the challenge of mastering the subtly of the art.

For instance, the tai chi concept of allowing your body to flow with gravity instead of resisting it beautifully illustrates how you can choose to respond to life challenges too, prioritizing what matters instead of becoming distracted by conflicts that ultimately aren't worth your energy.

Practicing stress management and focus through movement not only gives you the physical benefits of the exercise, but a deeper understanding of what it means than you might get from picking up a self-help book.

"You might learn it in theory, but then when you need to apply it, you don't actually have it," Chock said. "Tai chi is a way for you to understand these philosophies in life by learning them through your body. In that moment where you're overloaded, the body just knows what to do."

Practicing Tai Chi 3 times a week for 12 weeks can help reduce waist circumference in older adults with central obesity.

Content: Tai Chi can help obese people reduce waist circumference
Font Size:
The School of Public Health of the University of Hong Kong (HKU) recently held a press conference to announce a new study found that tai chi exercise can help elderly people with "central obesity" reduce waist circumference, the effect of which is similar to traditional exercise.
Tai Chi is a long-established traditional Chinese martial arts, integrating the body and mind, and is regarded as a "dynamic meditation" of the body and mind movement.
It is reported that the School of Public Health of HKU School of Medicine, in conjunction with the Chinese University of Hong Kong, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the University of California, Los Angeles, the research team recruited 543 Chinese aged 50 or above who were defined as “central obesity ” to participate in the study between February 2016 and March 2018.
Participants were randomly assigned to the tai chi exercise group, the traditional exercise group, or the no-exercise control group.
According to the research team, participants in the tai chi exercise group and the traditional exercise group are required to participate in a 12-week exercise course three times a week, one hour each time.
The Tai Chi exercise group is taught by instructors the most popular and widely known 24 Yang Tai Chi, while the traditional exercise group contains muscle-strengthening training such as brisk walking, hand bending, hand side lifting, shoulder lifting, squatting and heel lifting.
The team measured waist circumference and other indicators of metabolic health for all participants before, during the 12th and 38th weeks of the course.
The study found that participants in the tai chi exercise group and the traditional exercise group reduced their average waist circumference by 1.8 cm and 1.3 cm, respectively, after no dietary intervention and after 12 weeks of exercise.
Exercise intervention also helped to increase the high density cholesterol levels of participants in the Tai Chi exercise group and the traditional exercise group.
Xiao Minghui, director and associate professor of kinesiology at the School of Public Health of HKU Medical School, pointed out that recent academic articles have clarified that waist circumference is an important health risk indicator and is closely related to overweight, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
The results show that Tai Chi exercise, like traditional exercise, can effectively improve central obesity. Xiao Minghui believes that the results of the study are good news for the elderly who have difficulty moving or do not like traditional exercise, but have central obesity.

Atmospheric river hits Jinshan Bay area enveloped by storm, some residents evacuated
"Six Men" star dies at 59 after three years of cancer
Anti-debilitating. You need muscle training.
With age, even normal aging can affect daily life, including blurred vision, hearing loss, sluggish sense of smell, memory decline, etc. There is a timetable for body organs to age, but weakness is not normal aging.
Once the elderly have less muscle weakness, coupled with the impact of falls, bed, disability, early exercise to save the muscle to survive the old!
Can also do heavy training at old age to improve muscle strength and endurance
"I am so old, suitable for heavy training?" 70-year-old uncle Zhang stayed at home because of the epidemic, sitting on the sofa watching TV more times, more lazy to get up and exercise, began to decline in muscle strength.
Because the hands and feet are weak, eating often choke, see the doctor is diagnosed as the early stage of weakness, it is recommended to try "weight training", so that the body has enough load stimulation, effectively increase muscle strength and muscle mass.
Many people have the same reaction to hearing about heavy training as Uncle Zhang: Can I withstand this high-intensity exercise?
WaCare health platform sports expert He Hongyin explained that weakness is an age-related physiological geriatric syndrome. According to different levels of functional aging, the weaker the elderly, prone to cold, cough, fall and other conditions, physical function suddenly plummeted, and the healing effect is poor.
The elderly who fall in the pre-debilitating stage and the debilitating stage can effectively maintain, delay and improve the functional decline of the body through exercise intervention, including swallowing muscle groups.
It is recommended to gradually progress from low-intensity movements to steady muscle strength improvement, including aerobic exercise, muscle strength training, balance training and soft stretching. Start with a single exercise intervention, and gradually strengthen resistance training to strengthen the lower limb muscle strength to avoid falling.
Q1: How do you plan your initial training?
Objective To improve overall physical activity, and do 30-45 minutes three times a week, for a period of 3-6 months starting with low-intensity exercise, maintaining a certain frequency, and allowing the body to slowly get used to the amount of activity.
Practice repeated flexion and stretching of one muscle group and joints.
The intensity of exercise can be adjusted according to individual ability and to ensure personal safety during exercise.
Q2: What are the training principles for the elderly in the early stages of weakness and the level of weakness?
The first is "progressive resistance training", which uses self-weight or fixed exercise training equipment, elastic belts and other equipment to slowly increase moderate to high intensity training.
In the process, pay attention to the weight, number of groups, the number of times each group is repeated, etc., to produce progressive stimulation of muscles, strengthen muscle strength, increase muscle mass.
Another focus is "put on the lower limbs", the human body has 70% of the muscle strength in the lower limbs, more practice squats and leg squats, with the lower limbs to drive the whole body, promote blood circulation.
In addition, balance and gait training and cardiopulmonary fitness must also be included in the training plan.
Set a fitness calendar, aerobic exercise to strengthen cardiovascular
According to the ACSM American College of Sports Medicine cardio frequency recommendations, most adult exercise regimens should be at least 5 days a week of moderate intensity cardio, or 3-5 days a week combined with moderate to intense intensity cardio, supplemented by strength / muscle endurance, balance and softness training.
He Hongyin stressed that the biggest difference between the exercise prescriptions of the elderly and young people is the relative intensity of exercise.
The elderly should first pay attention to "safety" exercise, should first ask a doctor to assess the physical condition, exercise when the symptoms of chest tightness, asthma, and head dizziness need medical consultation; if there are no symptoms after exercise, you can gradually increase the intensity of exercise.
Before training, pull out the joint activity degree, extend from the foot to the body and spine, not only reduce sports injuries, but also make sports performance better.
Heavy training + aerobic combined strength training is an effective way to exercise, because it can improve muscle function, coordination, and cardiopulmonary function.
Type Take gradual weight-bearing resistance training, climbing steps, or other muscle activity that can be used for major muscle groups as slowly as possible, allowing the muscles to spend more time resisting resistance and creating more metabolic pressure.
Dr. Ho added that heavy exercise can improve cognitive function, and aerobic exercise can increase the cardiopulmonary fitness of the elderly, reducing the impact of aging and disease.
In addition to reaching the minimum amount of exercise, the elderly can also try to exceed the recommended number of physical activities to improve chronic diseases and health status, as more physical activity is known to have therapeutic effects.
In recent years, "explosive force training" has become popular. He Hongyin encourages elderly people to try it. Explosive force training helps to reduce the risk of accidental falls.
Q1: What is explosive training?
As you get older, your explosive power declines much faster than your muscle strength.
Various studies have shown that high-speed explosive training can bring more stimulation to the muscular nervous system, which helps to improve the response, balance and walking speed, and improve the overall exercise ability.
It is recommended to use less impact training tools, such as: air pressure, elastic force, swimming pool for practice, including self-weight training using their own weight.
Master the speed principle of the centripetal stage "the faster the better"; the centripetal stage "slow control", and emphasize the whole body, lower limb training action.
Self-weight training is the use of their own weight training, do not rely on a variety of equipment in the gym.
Common self-weight exercises include Push Up, Pull Up or Chin Up, and Pistol Squat.
Q2: What should I pay attention to in the muscular fitness exercise of mature people?
Attention should be paid to individual differences and help them build self-efficacy. After the physical evaluation of the doctor, please ask a professional coach to carry out heavy training + aerobic training, and a professional (coach) should accompany the exercise process.
Choose different training methods to meet different physiological needs, such as paying attention to special conditions such as knee arthritis, osteoporosis, and low balance function. It can be combined with complex functional movements (multiple muscle groups can be trained at one time) and isolated movement training (only one muscle group at a time).
In addition, He Hongyin specifically mentioned that people with obvious cognitive impairment can still do physical activity, but they need individual assistance.
Many diseases are caused by a lack of sufficient physical activity, and the knees and joints need to exercise early and do weight training in the pain stage.
Weakness requires multi-faceted exercise intervention, with the right way to exercise to strengthen muscle strength, is the only way to save the bone and protect the old.
Muscle strength, explosive strength training combined with medium and high intensity aerobic training, to increase the muscle strength and muscle mass of mature people have a great help, master the principle of progressive muscle strength training, together for the elderly to prestore muscle and muscle strength.

Content: Lifestyle Interventions and Cognitive Decline in Alzheimer's and Dementia

— "Without any change, the number of Americans with Alzheimer's disease could more than double"

MedpageToday

Cognitive decline in Alzheimer's and other dementias may be delayed for some at-risk older adults, recent clinical trials have suggested.

The ACHIEVE study, for example, reported that hearing aids cut the rate of cognitive decline by 48% over 3 years in older adults who had a high risk of dementia. And in a randomized controlled trial of people with mild cognitive impairment or self-reported memory concerns, cognitively enhanced tai-chi led to improved global cognition scores.

"Currently, two-thirds of Americans have at least one major risk factor for dementia," said Heather Snyder, PhD, of the Alzheimer's Association in Chicago.

"The need for effective risk reduction strategies to help all communities grows larger by the day," Snyder stated. "Without any change, the number of Americans with Alzheimer's disease could more than double by mid-century."

In 2015, the FINGER study in Finland was the first randomized controlled trial to show it was possible to delay cognitive decline using a multidomain lifestyle intervention.

In the U.S., the POINTER study is evaluating multiple ways to protect cognition in 2,000 at-risk older adults. "Recruiting for the clinical trial was successfully completed in March 2023," Snyder said. "The study is expected to begin reporting results in summer 2025."

"U.S. POINTER community-based teams recruited nearly 30% of participants from communities that are traditionally underrepresented in research, including racially and ethnically minoritized individuals and those from rural areas," she added.

New Clinical Trial Data

About 40% of dementia cases may be prevented or delayed by modifying 12 risk factors, according to a 2020 report from the Lancet Commission on dementia prevention, intervention, and care.

In the past year, several trials have shown that lifestyle interventions -- notably ones involving physical exercise or hearing aids -- could delay dementia onset. Two trials have combined exercise with a cognitive component, including a study of cognitively enhanced tai chi in older adults at risk for dementia, published in the Annals of Internal Medicine.

"Research has shown that both physical and mental activity may attenuate age-related declines in cognitive function and dual task activities, but combined physical and mental challenges may be more effective than either alone," said study co-author Peter Harmer, PhD, MPH, of the Oregon Research Institute in Eugene.

Cognitively enhanced tai chi was designed to synergistically stimulate neuroplasticity, Harmer noted. The regimen included an emphasis on performing properly despite an interfering mental or motor task, following instructions that required recalling names and detailed steps, and distinguishing correct from miscued instructions.

The study randomized older adults with mild cognitive impairment or self-reported memory concerns to stretching, standard tai chi, or cognitively enhanced tai chi for 1 hour semi-weekly for 24 weeks. The cognitively enhanced tai chi group outperformed other groups on improvements in both global cognition scores and dual-task performance while walking, with effects persisting at 48 weeks.

The SYNERGIC trial, published in JAMA Network Open, took a different approach to combining physical exercise and cognitive training. SYNERGIC randomized older adults with mild cognitive impairment to physical exercise with or without cognitive training and vitamin D supplementation for 20 weeks.

Overall, those who received aerobic-resistance exercises with sequential computerized cognitive training had improved cognition, but some results were inconsistent.

The multidomain intervention effect was larger than the improvement from exercise alone, reported Manuel Montero-Odasso, MD, PhD, of the Parkwood Institute in London, Ontario, and co-authors, and vitamin D supplementation showed no significant benefit. In several arms of the trial, cognitive improvements diminished slightly at 12 months, but did not revert to baseline levels.

Another intervention that showed promise was the use of hearing aids. Hearing loss is treatable in later life, which makes it an important public health target to reduce the risk of cognitive decline and dementia, noted Frank Lin, MD, PhD, of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, and colleagues who reported the findings of the ACHIEVE trial in The Lancet.

ACHIEVE assigned participants to one of two interventions -- either hearing aids or a health education program. Both groups received follow-up visits every 6 months, and cognitive tests were conducted every year for 3 years.

The trial's main analysis showed no difference in the rate of change in cognitive functioning between the hearing aid group and the education group. In a pre-specified analysis of participants with high risk for future dementia, however, cognitive decline was reduced over 3 years in those assigned to wear hearing aids compared with those who received health education.

Policies to Help Reduce Cognitive Decline

Research about Alzheimer's and dementia risk factors is evolving, and Lancet Commission researcher Gill Livingston, MD, of the University College London in England, is optimistic that policymakers will continue to use new insights to help reduce global cognitive decline.

Since 2020, several countries have taken steps to address modifiable risk factors, Livingston noted. "U.S. policy has changed, and many countries and the World Health Organization have issued new policy documents," she said.

In the U.S., the 2023 update to the National Alzheimer's Project Act included new risk reduction strategies, Livingston pointed out. The CDC also extended its Healthy Brain Initiative program with state and local health officials.

An updated Lancet Commission report about dementia is under review and should be published this year, Livingston said.

It combines physical training, self-defense and meditation.
The focus of Tai Chi is on body tightening, mental alertness and breathing, the center explained, noting that motor training consists of a series of traditional Chinese physical exercises that flow smoothly with each other in order to achieve harmony between body and soul.
Muscle and Joint Stimulation

The nervous system is also positively affected by the gentle posture of the back.
Studies have suggested that tai chi reduces the risk of falls in older adults thanks to its ability to improve their balance.
The sport also has a positive effect on degenerative arthritis, the symptoms of which are knee stiffness, pain and swelling.
Improve lung function
Tai chi is also beneficial for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) as it improves lung function.

Tai Chi can help prevent falls in seniors living at home.

Content: Exercise programs meant to prevent falls in seniors may also help prevent injuries caused by falls, according to a new review.

Fall-related injuries are common among seniors and a major cause of long-term pain and disability. They also increase the risk of having to go to a nursing home and have a high economic cost.

The new findings, published online Oct. 29 in the journal bmj.com, suggest that "reducing the risk of falling and improving protective responses during a fall may be an important and feasible means of preventing fractures and other serious injuries in the elderly," the study authors wrote in a journal news release.

Well-designed exercise programs can prevent falls in seniors living at home, but there is a lack of evidence on whether such programs can help prevent fall-related injuries, said French researchers Fabienne El-Khoury and colleagues.

In this review, they analyzed 17 studies that looked at whether fall-prevention exercises lowered seniors' risk of fractures and other injuries caused by falls. More than 4,000 participants were involved in all.

Tai Chi was the exercise in two of the studies, but most of them used gait, balance, strength and functional training, which involves workouts that help people do normal daily activities.

Most of the programs reduced fall-related injuries and appeared to significantly curb falls that lead to fractures, serious injuries and medical care.

Balance training was emphasized in all of the exercises that were effective in preventing falls, the researchers noted.

Because it can prevent falls that may result in fracture.

Reducing fall risk and improving protective responses may help prevent fractures and serious injuries in the elderly.

Content: Exercise programs meant to prevent falls in seniors may also help prevent injuries caused by falls, according to a new review.

Fall-related injuries are common among seniors and a major cause of long-term pain and disability. They also increase the risk of having to go to a nursing home and have a high economic cost.

The new findings, published online Oct. 29 in the journal bmj.com, suggest that "reducing the risk of falling and improving protective responses during a fall may be an important and feasible means of preventing fractures and other serious injuries in the elderly," the study authors wrote in a journal news release.

Well-designed exercise programs can prevent falls in seniors living at home, but there is a lack of evidence on whether such programs can help prevent fall-related injuries, said French researchers Fabienne El-Khoury and colleagues.

In this review, they analyzed 17 studies that looked at whether fall-prevention exercises lowered seniors' risk of fractures and other injuries caused by falls. More than 4,000 participants were involved in all.

Tai Chi was the exercise in two of the studies, but most of them used gait, balance, strength and functional training, which involves workouts that help people do normal daily activities.

Most of the programs reduced fall-related injuries and appeared to significantly curb falls that lead to fractures, serious injuries and medical care.

Balance training was emphasized in all of the exercises that were effective in preventing falls, the researchers noted.
