Preventing falls in the elderly, strengthening muscles and joints
September is Fall Prevention Month.
Elderly people fall is very common and the impact is very large, causing severe fractures, stroke and even death, said Wu An An, a physical therapist at On House.
Tips to prevent falls, such as enhancing muscle joint flexibility, sitting down or getting up slowly, shoes suitable for non-slip.
Wu Anan said that falls are common among the elderly and have a great impact.
According to the data, each year 3 million elderly people fall emergency department, one fifth of them are seriously injured, need to be admitted to hospital or even surgery, if there is a fracture, head injury, it is difficult to restore the previous mobility, and even to receive long-term care or go to a nursing home for long-term care.
Many elderly people suffer from osteoporosis and fall resulting in fractures.
If the elderly take drugs to reduce blood pressure, the head will be injured, there will be cerebral hemorrhage, internal bleeding, serious stroke and even death.
Wu said that there are two reasons for elderly people to fall, either physical condition or environmental reasons.
If the elderly have osteoporosis, arthritis, bones and muscles are not solid, inconvenient to move; or walk with balance problems, dizziness due to side effects of taking drugs; or have vision problems; or because they have fallen, afraid of falling, but prone to falling.
"After the old man falls once, his family or doctor may blame him, 'Why are you so careless?'"
Injuries after a fall cause inconvenience to movement, loss of self-care, affect the mood of the elderly, and produce depression.
Because of the fear of falling, the elderly simply do not move, resulting in rapid decline in physical function and rapid muscle atrophy.
When it is necessary to walk, it is easy to fall. ”
In addition, environmental reasons can also lead to falls.
For example, there is not enough light in the home of the elderly, and there are no handrails in the toilets and stairs, and the staircase design is too curved and the stairs are too narrow.
Many wires are laid on the ground, the bathroom is very wet, and the shoes in the home or the auxiliary tools used are not suitable, which can also lead to falls.
Wu Anan said that there are many ways to prevent falls.
For example, strengthen muscle and joint flexibility to help balance.
Elderly people are also encouraged to check their eyes and ears regularly to understand the side effects of the drug.
Family can help explain.
Seniors need to make sure they get enough sleep.
Usually, waking up in the morning is not awake and prone to fall.
It is recommended that the elderly sit down or get up slowly to avoid dizziness.
"When walking, the elderly should be careful that the road is wet and the ground is uneven.
In addition, shoes should be non-slip.
There are many people like to wear slippers, but it is not necessarily suitable, it is best to find shoes that cover the front and back of the foot, so it is the safest.
The elderly should also pay attention to the situation at home, check the power lines on the ground, whether there are handrails in the bathroom, whether there is anything blocking the stairs, and whether the things they want to take can be reached at once, so as to avoid the possibility of falling down when they climb high and low. "
Wu said that if an elderly person falls and has an injury, he must notify the doctor.
“Sometimes, the elderly have fractures and don ’ t feel the pain immediately.
Or head injury bleeding, because of taking medicine and other reasons, they do not know.
It is important to inform the doctor about the fall and treat it as soon as possible.
It can also help doctors or therapists understand the cause of falls and prevent the next fall. ”
She reminded that the elderly can do exercise or balance ability at home.
Such as holding a stool or a fixed object, with the help of family members to exercise.
If an elderly person needs assistance tools, such as walking aids or crutches, do not use them on the grounds that they are independent.
When the elderly stand up firmly, get up slowly.
It ’ s all about staying active, participating in social activities, and getting in a better mood.
"Family members can encourage them to exercise."
Wu An-an said that the role of a physical therapist is to help the elderly to have a safety check every six months to ensure that their physical functions have not changed significantly.
And according to the interests of the elderly to develop sports, maintain independence.
When they fall, they go to the door to see if the situation has changed.
Timely education for the elderly to help them exercise, relieve arthritis, osteoporosis and low back pain.

The doctor advised Pilates to people over 60 years of age
Physiotherapist Popov: Pilates and stretching have no contraindications
Stretching and pilates have no contraindications and can be useful at any age.
The head of the Department of Medical Rehabilitation, Physiotherapy and Physical Therapy of the High Technologies Clinic “Beloostrov ” Andrey Popov told about this to“ Doctor Peter ”.
As Popov explained, stretching involves working on all the muscles of the body, and Pilates is based on working out deep muscles.
Pilates helps to improve flexibility, joint mobility and strengthen the abdominal and back muscles, which are responsible for coordination and posture.
Therefore, their development can reduce the risk of falls.
This is especially useful for people over 60 years of age with reduced bone strength.
However, Pilates will not help with weight loss, since the consumption of calories during classes is small.
It is important to practice Pilates regularly, two to three times a week, and under the supervision of a coach.
"Gentle workouts are often included in rehabilitation programs after surgery, such as hip replacement or arthroscopy, and are also useful in inflammatory joint diseases and a number of pathologies of the musculoskeletal system (arthritis, osteoporosis).
Older people, regular exercise will give a feeling of flexibility, balance and expand the range of movements, ” the doctor explained.

Content: Fall prevention class 4 / old people home pay attention!
Three of the most dangerous experts to improve.
Kam Ting-jia / Special Report
Over the past 6 years, the Fall Prevention Workshop in Keelung City ’ s Warm District has been working to help improve the home environment of the elderly and reduce the risk of falling.
According to the 2017 National Health Interview Survey of the Ministry of Health and Welfare, 8.4% of elderly people over the age of 65 have suffered “fall / fall / fall ” injuries in the past year, and have received treatment from Chinese and Western medical professionals.
In addition, more than 60% of the people injured by falling in the past year were outdoors, but the place where the elderly over the age of 65 often fell was indoors, indicating the importance of indoor fall prevention for the elderly.
This is an advertisement, please continue reading.
In this regard, Yu Shuhan, a physiotherapist at National Taiwan University Hospital, stressed that "falling is preventable, as long as from small places, these risk factors are gradually prevented, we are likely to make the elderly have a safer life."
She said that the three most common places in the home are the bathroom, living room and bedroom, and pointed out common problems and suggestions for improvement in each of the three areas.
You Shu-han said that bathrooms and toilets are prone to falls, mainly due to water stains caused by slippage, and then because toilets are usually lower than ordinary chairs, so when the elderly go to the toilet, they may suddenly not have the strength to stand up, and at this time, if they have to stand up, they may fall or fall.
In order to improve the environment of the bathroom, Yu Shuhan recommends that handrails can be added to the bathroom, whether it is next to the toilet or sink, or even inside and outside the bathtub and shower room, so that the elderly can have something to help when walking in the bathroom.
In addition, the ground is equipped with anti-skid tiles, anti-skid stickers, anti-skid pads, etc., so that the elderly can maintain stability when walking, or in the shower room and next to the sink, put a anti-skid chair, so that the elderly can sit down and rest, so that they will not stand for too long and accidentally fall.
Chiang Shu-fen, a member of the anti-fall class, says that when they examine the environment of the elderly, they pay special attention to the safety of the bathroom and observe that bathtubs are usually ineffective or even a barrier for the elderly.
As for the living room part, you Shu Han stressed that the living room is the place where the most miscellaneous objects are stacked. Elderly people may fall because of the loss of center of gravity in order to bypass the problem of miscellaneous objects or furniture, or because the sofa is usually low and soft, and often fall back when standing up.
In addition, Yu Shu-han also pointed out that in families with three generations, it is possible that when the children do not pack their belongings and put them back in their place, the elders will kick or be tripped because of poor vision and attention.
"If you live with a different lifestyle, especially the younger generation, if you have a child, a car will fall on the ground, or if you want to blow a fan in the summer, and the socket is under the corner of the wall, it is easy to stumble." Wang Shui-chih, founder of the Fall Prevention Workshop, points out that miscellaneous objects and family members of different ages are at high risk of falling. The place.
How to improve the living room environment?
In addition to repeatedly emphasizing that miscellaneous objects should not affect the walking line, so that the aisle remains wide and bright, but also especially remind the elderly to sit on the sofa, try to sit on the side with the armrest, or ask the family to prepare a suitable and stable chair to reduce the risk of falling when the elderly stand up from the sofa.
Finally, the bedroom, Yu Shuhan said that she often heard falling situations include waking up wanting to get out of bed but soft feet, or getting up in the middle of the night to move, maybe going to the toilet, etc., but because there is no habit of turning on the lights, so stepping on the ground obstacles and falling.
In this regard, in addition to the suggestion to install a fixed handrail at the bedside, but also emphasize that the light of the bedroom should be paid attention to, if the elderly do not get up in the middle of the night lights, the family can actively install small night lights, or even contactless lighting, so that the elderly get used to it.
You Shuhan pointed out that because the elderly often have "postural low blood pressure", so it is recommended that whether it is sitting up from the bed, or standing up when sitting, "these processes we all want to stay in this action, stop for a while and then carry out the next action", such as sitting up to stand up, stay for 30 seconds to a minute, not dizzy, or eyes clearly see after walking. It's safer.
In addition, Yu Shu-han also reminded that she has encountered elderly people in outdoor activities are accustomed to holding crutches or assistive tools, but once they enter the home, they think they do not need, as long as the furniture is good, but sometimes the furniture may be lighter or have a pulley, or the location is relatively far away, causing the elderly to help the furniture but more unstable and fall. inside to be used.
“You may not feel the need, but when you suddenly can ’ t maintain stability today, it ’ s a very useful tool. ”

Content: Ms. He Ruiying, the 84-year-old mother of the mayor of Taipei City, fell at her home recently.
The report pointed out that Ke Wenzhi's mother may have hit her head when she fell, causing cerebral hemorrhage, bone fracture and other conditions. She was admitted to the intensive care unit for observation and treatment after being rushed to the doctor. Fortunately, she has been discharged smoothly.
Clinical data show that elderly people over the age of 65, on average, one in six people has fallen in the past year, and the prevalence of falls in women is 1.5-2 times that of men.
There are a number of specific recommendations from experts on how to prevent the risk of falls.
Chang Chih-po, chief physician of the Department of Family Medicine at Mackay Memorial Hospital, points out that the serious damage caused by falls to the elderly should not be underestimated, especially hip fractures and head injuries.
Dr. Zhang Zhibo analyzed that the causes of falls among elderly people are diverse, but they can be roughly divided into:
1.
Internal causes: including poor balance due to aging, gait instability, lower limb muscle weakness, postural hypotension, cognitive dysfunction, poor vision or hearing, etc.
2.
External causes: including alcohol consumption, heavy use of drugs, or taking drugs that may increase the risk of falls, such as long-acting sedatives, muscle relaxants, cardiovascular drugs, and certain psychiatric drugs.
3.
Environmental factors: slippery or uneven ground, insufficient light, debris or electrical wiring, too high, too low or lack of safety devices such as handrails.
● Fall prevention secret: home environment "flat, bright, support" daily clothes fit better than loose
According to the National Health Administration of the Ministry of Health and Welfare, home is the most common place for elderly people to fall, so it is important to pay attention to the environment at home:
1. If there are carpets and pads, smooth out the wrinkles, avoid rolling edges, and place a non-slip pad under the carpet.
2. All electrical cables and furniture are kept away from the aisle and neatly stored; all floors should not be scattered with messy things or objects.
All parts of the room should keep the light or light bright, and it is best to leave a small night light at night.
4. Do a good anti-skid treatment in the bathroom, the ground is always dry, and water stains are removed as soon as possible.
5. The height of the bedroom bed should not be too high, so that when sitting on the edge of the bed, the feet can be placed flat on the ground for the appropriate height.
6. Sofa, seat, bed, toilet, bathtub and other furniture that needs to "stand up" from it, add armrests.
7. Wear shoes that cover the whole foot and non-slip soles.
8. Large clothes and too long trousers easy to trip themselves, it is best to choose a fit but not tight, flexible clothing.
9.
After taking the medicine before going to bed, you should go to bed as soon as possible to avoid walking instability after the effect of the medicine.
10. Maintain muscle strength, muscle and joint mobility, and maintain moderate exercise habits.
The National Health Administration recommends that the following exercise programs be suitable for all elderly people:

In any incomprehensible situation, move the body!
Imperative seems unreasonable and does not meet the “standards ” of social networks.
But don't be in a hurry to snort.
It is necessary to talk about physical activity, people have a reflex: “Yeah, lose weight, build muscles and mold the dream body. ”
All right, but far from complete.
Any training system is guaranteed to improve the general condition, gives a sense of well-being, clarity of mind, improves memory, concentration and sleep quality, brings pleasant relaxation, reduces anxiety and depression.
You can start at any age and state of health, the main thing is to choose exactly the training system that will give pleasure.

What is functional training and what is it eaten with?
We decided to focus on functional training – and here ’ s why.
It stood out in an independent direction of fitness recently, but even the athletes of Ancient Greece appreciated its advantages in training.
Runners, wrestlers, spear throwers, and others honed their movements with functional training.
Later, they supplemented their basic training skiers, cyclists, track and field athletes, swimmers, kayakers, speed skaters, football players and other athletes.
Thus, they developed endurance, strength, balance, agility, speed, etc. Then, rehabilitologists turned their attention to functional classes - physio-, ergo- and manual therapists who needed to put patients on their feet after injuries, operations and illness.
123rf.com
The very name suggests that the system of movements is aimed at developing the functions of the body that we perform in everyday life – walking, reaching up to take something from the upper shelf, bending down to lift something, cleaning at home, carrying weights, playing with children, climbing stairs, holding the body if you slip.
All these activities include several muscle groups, including deep-lying stabilizer muscles, which in everyday life and even during training are at rest and do not lend themselves to psychological control.
Mentally focus on their work, as it is done, for example, in strength exercises on any target muscles, it is impossible.
Meanwhile, they are responsible for the stability, balance and beauty of each of our movements.
Functional exercises strengthen the musculoskeletal system and cardiovascular system, improve the quality of movements and allow us to do what we need for a full, healthy life.
It sounds simple, but try to lose the opportunity to do any of the above, as the value of this “ordinary ” will immediately increase.
A huge advantage of functional training is the absence of injury risk.
The thing is that these exercises do not create excessive tension in the joints and spine.
In addition, they are suitable for everyone regardless of the level of training, physiological characteristics, age, etc.
Features of functional training
In most sports, specialization determines the end result.
Bodybuilders get hypertrophied muscles, powerlifters – maximum strength in three competitive exercises, weightlifters – also strength, but dynamic, and also in competitive exercises.
The weakness of this approach is that sports achievements are not always correlated with real life.
The strength of the bodybuilder is exaggerated, the powerlifter has no endurance, both have almost no flexibility and dexterity.
That is, fixing on certain exercises limits the capabilities of the body.
The combination with the functional greatly expands them.
Here are the basic principles of these exercises.
In training there are no isolating movements, most muscle groups and joints work simultaneously in each exercise, which is achieved by their huge variety and complex biomechanics.
They are performed quickly, in the “explosive ” (pliometric) mode.
Free weights are used, but strength trainers are not.
An important condition in the performance of the whole complex: standing or resting on the hands.
Strength and cardio components are not separated during one training.
The circular method is very welcome.
The movements of the whole body are practiced, not individual muscles.
Benefits of Functional Training
When you start training or just planning them, you need to know what they are giving.
These are endurance, agility, coordination of movements, flexibility and speed.
The body ceases to do what it is intended by nature, only in two cases: when they lead a sedentary lifestyle and walk in a circle of several favorite exercises.
Often people stop doing fitness, because the repeatability of movements is boring.
At first, the results appear bright and noticeable, later the muscles get used to and stop reacting - the process of transformation of the body stops.
Of course, the point here is not in the chosen discipline of training, but in the absence of a variety of training regimen and exercises, as well as progress.
The same type, without load, classes are destructive.
Biomechanics of the body involves movement in three planes and in different modes.
In one traditional training, all these parameters almost never fit, especially when classes are held in the mode of “today ’ s legs, tomorrow ’ s hands ”.
Functional exercises offer such variability and combinations of habitual movements that it is not boring to have time to adjust.
The goal is achieved in all possible ways - this is training with your own weight, and using a variety, which, in turn, expands the "sports horizon".
These are expanders, dumbbells, TRX loops, BOSU hemispheres, heavy ropes, fitballs, medballs, slamballs (the difference between balls is in their weight and “bouncing ” characteristics), gliding discs, etc.
Most of them are small, so they are easy to carry, you can also do at home, on the street - on sports grounds or in the park.
Moreover, if you notice, in functional training, free weights are used: this means that the tone is set by the trainee himself, unlike simulators, where the amplitude is already set and it is proposed to follow it silently.
Therefore, the muscles in the first case work and move in the most physiological way for them, do not overstrain (as well as the joints), and the probability of injuries tends to zero.
All the muscles are involved in the process, which increases the consumption of kilocalories, and also, as you can imagine, increases fat burning.
123rf.com
What to Expect from Functional Training
It must be said that if the task is to significantly build muscles, then functional training is not about this.
In this system, the movements are honed, not the muscles are pumped - the weight of the shells used is not so important.
Of course, exercises with your own body weight and moderately heavy weights contribute to the growth of strength indicators.
As a result, the muscles become stronger, stronger and stronger, since most exercises are performed in an above-average repetition range.
Another advantage is training the central nervous system.
Biomechanics of exercises, as already mentioned above, is quite complex and goes along a natural trajectory, synchronizing the simultaneous work of different muscle groups.
Thus, the so-called neurological development of exercises occurs, which also contributes to the growth of strength indicators.
Finally, there is a low risk of injury due to the activation of stabilizer muscles, which “brings to mind ” the balance and coordination of the body and produces the beauty of movements.
Many exercises involve speed, explosive force of performance and the “circular ” principle of training, which develops speed indicators and strengthens the respiratory and cardiovascular systems.
In parallel, as a result of such exercises as modified push-ups, rotation with weights, etc., the joints and muscles are strengthened and become more flexible.
Who should not engage in functional training
Despite the benefits of functional training, there are certain conditions when it is better to refrain from them.
This is the second and third trimester of pregnancy, heart and cardiovascular diseases, injuries and diseases of the spine and musculoskeletal system, kidney problems, infections and inflammation and the acute phase.
123rf.com
Who will benefit from functional training
This is a universal system that is suitable for everyone – from teenagers to the elderly, regardless of gender and physical fitness.
The main thing is to find the right training program.
In any case, it is necessary to study at least three times a week.
If the goal is to burn the hated fat, tighten muscles and acquire a more sporty outline of the body, then you need to rock the metabolism through training and, of course, revise the diet.
It plays a bigger role in weight loss (and only!) than exercise.
The duration of classes is from 20 to 60 minutes, depending on the level of training.
Outline
Published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, the study described the results of two groups.
One was engaged in functional training, the other – ordinary strength exercises.
The first group has significant advantages.
There was an increase in strength by 58% more than that of the siloviki, an improvement in coordination by 196%, a decrease in joint pain by 30%.
If all of the above benefits of functional training turned out to be so tempting that you are ready to rush to the coach, then it is worth adding that a healthy and well-functioning body is achieved by a balance between the right loads and the recovery period, proper sleep and proper nutrition.
So, according to the logic of things, any training should be functional.
Good shape is not the standard of beauty that many people try to squeeze into at the expense of personal losses.
A good form is the freedom and beauty of unfettered movements, it is the energy and joy of feeling the strength and endurance of your own body, it is the clarity of the mind and the pleasure of life.
That ’ s what functional training is about.

Content: Writer Erica Jong may have had a “Fear of Flying,” but for folks aged 65 and older, a fear of falling makes a lot more sense. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there are about 36 million reports every year about older adults taking a fall. And more than 300,000 older folks (75% are women) are hospitalized for a hip fracture annually — 95% are the result of a fall. In 2020, 36,000 seniors died from falls. Even my 101-year-old mother-in-law did — while holding an elevator door, it suddenly moved, she fell backward and never recovered.

So what are the most effective ways for older adults to prevent falls? A review of available studies, published in JAMA Network, found that reducing dangers at home by cleaning up cluttered areas, improving lighting and putting railing on stairs, can cut the risk of falling by 26% overall, and by 38% for folks who are at the greatest risk for falls or who have fallen before.

1 out of 3 elderly people in Hong Kong has fallen. 5 tips for preventing falling at home for the elderly (15: 56)
According to the statistics quoted by the Hospital Authority in January this year, one in three elderly people aged 65 or above in Hong Kong has fallen.
The Department of Health also pointed out that falls are the most common household accidents for the elderly.
This article has compiled tips for elderly people on how to prevent falls at home.
5 Tips for Home Fall Prevention for the Elderly
● Keep the home light enough, neat and clean: clean the floor of the home and install enough electric lights.
Threshold sticker fluorescent anti-slip sticker: The elderly may not be able to see the prominent threshold due to insufficient vision.
The use of fluorescent anti-slip stickers on the threshold position can improve the alertness of the elderly.
Choose furniture that is suitable for height and stability: low chairs, folding chairs and retractable chairs are prone to fall.
The bathroom is equipped with handrails and anti-skid pads: the floor of the bathroom is slippery, and the elderly can easily slip when entering and leaving the bathtub.
Regular physical examination to maintain physical activity: Once a year, perform appropriate physical exercise to promote physical and mental health, wear appropriate light clothing and shoes with stripes on the bottom to reduce the risk of falling.
If an elderly person falls at home and remains calm, it is necessary to call for help immediately.
If there is bleeding, you can check whether the wound is smooth, whether the breathing is sufficient and whether the blood circulation is normal. If there is bleeding, you can check whether there is any foreign matter in the wound. If there is no foreign matter, you can use a clean dressing to cover the wound, and use your hand to pressure the wound to stop the bleeding, and raise the limb to reduce the bleeding.

Tai Chi has emerged as a clinically supported intervention for improving balance and preventing falls in this population.

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.

How to Reverse the Ageing of Your Brain
Consider additional strategies to improve your brain health, such as getting eight hours of sleep each night, reducing inflammation in the body, and optimizing vitamin D levels.
According to the AARP survey, 93% of Americans believe that maintaining brain health is very or extremely important.
Contrary to popular belief, forgetfulness and memory lapses are not an inevitable part of aging, you can keep your wits and mental abilities at any age.
Joseph Mercola: Reverse the aging of the brain
The good news is that your brain is a dynamic organ, constantly adapting and changing, for better or for worse.
Many of your daily activities, such as lack of sleep, can seriously affect your memory the next day.
On the other hand, a healthy lifestyle supports brain health and even stimulates the growth of new neurons in a process known as neurogenesis or neuroplasticity.
For example, research has shown that how your body responds to stress can be a factor in brain aging, including an increased risk of dementia and Alzheimer ’ s disease.
Exercise is a lifestyle choice that affects your stress response and is often valued for physical changes.
However, there is ample evidence that strength training is just as important for brain and nervous system health as it is for muscle strength.
A new study demonstrates that older adults can improve cognitive function through changes in eating habits and exercise.

Small changes bring great benefits to cognitive function
In just six months, Duke University researchers found cognitive improvements in the adults involved in their study.
Dr. James Blumenthal, a clinical psychologist at Duke University, led the research published in Neurology.
He believes this was the first study to look at the separate and combined effects of diet and exercise on cognitive decline in those who are more vulnerable to developing dementia in old age.
The study involved 160 adult patients with a prior history of high blood pressure or other cardiovascular risks who had never exercised and had cognitive problems in executive functioning.
Those who were diagnosed with dementia were excluded.
The median age was 65 and two thirds of the participants were women.
At the beginning of the study, the participants' average cognitive skills were the same as those of 93 years old - an average of 28 years older than their actual age.
The volunteers were divided into four groups.
The former participated in a structured aerobic exercise program for the first three months, and in the following three months they were given exercises to do at home.
The second group was asked to follow a low-sodium DASH diet and was taught this program.
The third group was asked to exercise and change their diet at the same time.
A fourth group served as a control group and received a 30-minute training session over the phone on how to improve brain health, but they were asked not to change their training program or eating habits.
Results showed a decrease in brain age by nine years
Before starting the study, each participant underwent a set of cognitive tests, a treadmill stress test, and a nutrient intake analysis.
In addition, blood sugar and lipids were noted.
At the end of the study, the researchers found that those who followed the DASH diet without exercise had no significant improvement in their thinking skills.
The group that only trained had a greater improvement in executive functioning than the group that did not train.
But in the group that changed diet and exercised, the age of the brain decreased by nine years, bringing the average age of the brain to 84 years.
The executive function of the control group decreased by six months, which was expected as they were not subjected to intervention, and this was the total duration of the study.
Leg strength improves the health of the nervous system
Participants in the study were asked to walk for 35 minutes continuously or to cycle regularly just three times a week.
This study confirms other recent findings published in Frontiers in Neuroscience, showing that neurological health depends on both signals from the large leg muscles and signals from the brain to the muscles.
In other words, it is a double-edged sword, and both are equally important.
According to a press release, the discovery “significantly changes the medicine of the brain and nervous system, giving doctors new insights into why patients with motor neuron disease, multiple sclerosis, spinal muscle atrophy and other neurological ailments often rapidly deteriorate mental activity when their movement becomes restricted. ”
Researchers have found that the ability to exercise with weight is important not only for muscle mass and atrophy, but also for the chemistry of your body.
Neurosignaling was affected in such a way that the nervous system and brain began to deteriorate in an animal study only after 28 days.
Two genes also had adverse effects, one of which plays an important role in mitochondrial health and function.
Well-functioning mitochondria are crucial for optimal health.
This can be the cause of almost all chronic diseases, including neurodegeneration, since your brain requires more energy than any other organ, about 20 percent of the energy produced in your body.
In his book, Sitting Kills, Motion Heals, Dr. Joan Vernikos, former director of NASA ’ s Life Sciences Division, describes how weight retention versus gravity is an essential component for optimal functioning of the human body and brain.
Another key factor is how exercise affects the brain ’ s neurotrophic factor (BDNF) present in both your brain and muscles.
Exercise stimulates the production of a protein called FNDC5, which in turn triggers the work of BDNF, which preserves existing brain cells, activating them to convert into new neurons and promoting actual brain growth.
In the neuromuscular system, BDNF protects the neuromotor, a critical element in muscles that protects them from degradation.
Neuromotor degradation is part of the process that explains age-related muscle atrophy.
A list of studies demonstrating the connection between your muscles and the brain can be found in my previous article, “For optimal brain and nervous system health, you need to train your leg muscles. ”

Reduce sitting time to protect your cognitive and physical health
Lower body exercises are important for maintaining cognitive abilities as you age.
Although researchers have demonstrated that walking three times a week can improve cognitive performance in as little as six months, other studies have shown that the damage caused by sitting all day cannot be compensated by exercise just once a day.
Long periods of time spent sitting can be fatal.
The data showed that those who moved more were generally healthier.
Constant exercise speeds up metabolism, reduces the risk of developing diabetes and certain types of cancer, and helps maintain a healthy weight.
Increasing the duration of inactivity with age can also reduce the ability to remain mobile.
One study found that those who were most active and sat less than six hours a day experienced the least mobility restrictions due to age compared to those who were least active and exercised less than three hours a week.
The researchers concluded that "reduced sitting time combined with increased physical activity may be necessary to maintain mobility in older age."
Another study, conducted by the University of California San Diego School of Medicine (UCSD), followed a group of women and found that those who sat for 10 or more hours a day experienced telomere shortening equal to eight years of aging.
In other words, excessive sitting accelerated the process of physical aging by eight years.
Lead author of the study Aladdin Shadyab, PhD, UCSD School of Medicine, said in a press release: "Our study showed that cells age faster with sedentary lifestyles.
Chronological age does not always correspond to biological age.
Cyclic ketogenic eating plan and intermittent fasting support brain health
In the presented study, participants used the DASH diet, which reduces the amount of processed foods and increases the consumption of whole foods.
However, the nutrition plan does not take into account the undeniable changes in health caused by the ketogenic diet.
One of the most striking studies of carbohydrates and brain health found that high-carb diets increased the risk of dementia by 89 percent, and high-fat diets reduced it by 44 percent.
A ketogenic diet with lots of healthy fats and low in net carbs (total carbs minus fiber) causes your body to burn fat as its primary fuel instead of sugar.
The result is ketones that not only burn efficiently, but are also an excellent fuel for your brain.
Ketones also generate less reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the harmful effects of free radicals.
Recent articles have also demonstrated the benefits of dietary ketosis for brain health.
In the first, the researchers found that the ketogenic diet improved nerve and vascular function, in part due to improvements in the gut microbiome.
In the second article, the authors concluded that the ketogenic diet proved to be a real “fountain of youth ” in animal studies, significantly improving the functioning of nerves, blood vessels and metabolism compared to animals that consumed an unrestricted diet.
Poor functioning of nerves and blood vessels is associated with loss of ability to speak, remember, and focus, and decreased cerebral blood flow increases the risk of depression, anxiety, and dementia.
The authors of a study analyzing the effects of the ketogenic diet on vegetative-vascular function in an animal model wrote: "Collectively, the KD [ketogenic diet] may protect against a variety of neurological disorders, possibly by restoring vegetative-vascular function and maintaining a healthy gut microbiome."
Consider These Strategies to Support Cognitive Health
Eating a ketogenic diet helps protect your brain from free radical damage and supplies cells with the preferred fuel.
You may also consider incorporating additional foods and strategies to maintain your cognitive health.
My previous article, “What foods stimulate the brain best? ” lists foods that you can easily incorporate into your daily eating plan.
Below are additional strategies you can consider:
Vitamin D is a steroid hormone that affects almost every cell in your body, so maintaining a healthy level of 60 to 80 ng / ml is important not only for bones, but also for heart and brain health, optimal immune system performance, and overall disease prevention.
In fact, there is an important link between vitamin D deficiency and insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, and diabetes, both type 1 (insulin-dependent diabetes) and type 2, and both affect brain health.
Sleep – During deep sleep, your brain activates the glyphatic system, allowing you to flush out toxins and accumulated waste, including beta-amyloid proteins, which are a hallmark of Alzheimer ’ s disease.

Reducing inflammation – Chronic inflammation and obesity can negatively affect the functioning of your brain.
For a list of foods that reduce inflammation and how it relates to brain volume, read my previous article, “Foods that prevent inflammation also improve your brain function. ”
Some of these foods are garlic, blueberries, walnuts and spinach.
Ashwagandha – Improving memory is one of the traditional uses, especially in the form of roots.
A 2017 study published in the Journal of Dietary Supplements found positive results using ashwagandha root extract to improve memory and cognitive function in 50 people with mild cognitive impairment.
Bacopa monnieri (Bacopa monnieri) is a popular herb in Ayurvedic medicine used in India for more than three centuries.
It is commonly known as a nootropic herb that can repair damaged neurons and improve brain function.
Nootropics are thought to have the ability to “unlock ” the brain when it comes to creativity and cognitive drive.
Curcumin – A double-blind, placebo-controlled study involved 40 adults aged 50 to 90 years with mild memory impairment but no dementia.
Those who took curcumin reported significant improvements in memory and concentration, and no improvements were observed in the control group.

Regions - Majmaah
Integrative work among the institutions of the local community is one of the foundations of the success of development projects, and therefore this concept has become a global trend sought by development institutions in countries.
Based on this and within the framework of its social responsibility, and to contribute to sustainable development work, and to achieve the principle of partnership between all development institutions in serving the national development plans, and in line with the objectives of the Kingdom ’ s Vision 2030, Al Majmaah University held a scientific development forum under the title: To support both parties in fulfilling their roles towards the family in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The forum began with a speech by the Vice President of the University and the Chairman of the Preparatory Committee, Prof. Dr. Musalem bin Mohammed Al-Dosari, in which he explained that this forum comes within the framework of integration between development institutions, in order to join their efforts to contribute to achieving the requirements of development plans. The two working groups in this forum are the Council and the University.
HRH Princess Nourah bint Mohammed Al Saud, Chairman of the Women ’ s Committee for Community Development at Riyadh District Council, said that the Saudi family has received great attention from the leadership of this blessed country, where legislations and regulations have been enacted, institutions have been established, and initiatives have been launched to build a Saudi family with a national and middle orientation.
Her Highness added that it is no secret to everyone the crucial role of universities in the development process, as the university is the most prominent development institution in society, with its experts, equipment, laboratories and integrated research system, in addition to the university ’ s association with society, which is the incubator of the family.
In this regard, Her Highness thanked Al Majmaah University, represented by its President, Dr. Khalid bin Saad Al Muqrin, and the Family Affairs Council, represented by the Secretary General, Dr. Hala Bint Mazyad Al Tuwaijri, for launching this forum, which Her Highness hopes will result in a fruitful partnership between the universities and the Council.
Dr. Hala bint Mazyad Al-Tuwaijri, Secretary General of the Family Affairs Council, thanked Al-Majmaah University for its partnership with the Council in holding this forum, which she believes is an opportunity to present the strategy of development action directed at the family, and to discuss ways to find mechanisms for cooperation between universities and the Council to serve common goals.
In his speech, the President of the University, Dr. Khalid bin Saad Al-Muqrin, said that this forum comes in line with the university 's approach to openness to the various community components in order to contribute to achieving the requirements of development.
The scientific sessions started in the forum, which are represented in three main axes: the first axis: the integration of roles and responsibilities. This axis highlights the roles and responsibilities of universities in terms of social responsibility and the integration of these roles with the objectives of the Council of Family Affairs.
The second axis: Empowerment and activating partnership. This axis reviews the national family strategy and the joint role of universities and the Family Affairs Council in finding solutions to the most important challenges facing the family and society.
These topics were discussed through three scientific sessions that included 11 topics, in which 15 researchers from universities and the Council participated. These sessions came out with a number of recommendations that called for the following: Developing a mechanism to hold more scientific agreements between the Council of Family Affairs and higher education institutions to ensure the benefit of the cadres and capabilities available in the university environment and exchange of experiences and benefits.
• Strengthening scientific partnerships through joint cooperation in monitoring research needs related to family issues, which contributes to the promotion of scientific research in universities, and the achievement of their functions in the service of the community, scientific research and the academic side.

Abstract

This study examined the prevalence and the impact of fear of falling (FOF) on physical activity (PA), sedentary behavior (PA), and physical function in older adults living in a continuing care retirement community (CCRC). Ninety-three older adults were included and self-reported assessed on PA and SB. Further, participants' physical function was assessed using a collection of measures of valid objective tests. Independent t test was used to compare the dependent variables between FOF groups, and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to control for assistive device usage. FOF was prevalent in 47.3% of the sample and PA and SB did not differ between FOF groups (p >.05). ANCOVA revealed that performance on several physical function tests remained significantly better (p <.05) for the no FOF group compared to the yes group. Our findings demonstrated similar levels of PA and SB between FOF groups, but worse physical function for older adults reporting FOF.

Content: LIMA, OH (WLIO) - The CDC says close to 36 million falls are reported among older adults each year, resulting in more than 32,000 deaths. Each year, about 3 million older adults are treated in emergency departments for a fall injury.

Hoping to bring those numbers down, the Area Agency on Aging 3 hosted a "Falls Prevention Lunch and Learn" at Primrose Retirement Community of Lima to discuss possible fall risks and ways to prevent falls among older adults. Guest speaker Ashlin Toland stressed the importance of maintaining a healthy and active lifestyle, explaining how crucial it is for older adults to receive regular health testing and ensure they understand the medications they are on.

"Falls are an epidemic among older adults. So we know that the need is out there just to educate and provide information, and the resources that we offer not only through the agency but throughout the counties to let people know that falls are preventable. They're not a normal part of aging, and there's things that we can do to prevent those falls," explained Ashlin Toland, health education coordinator.

To learn more about fall risk and ways to prevent falls, you can visit the Area on Aging website to contact your county's agency.

Content: In Russia, over the past year, the number of people of “silver age ” who regularly engage in physical culture has increased by a million.
Thanks to the programs of active longevity of the national project "Demography", more than 6.7 million of our older compatriots have had the opportunity to play sports, said Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Tatyana Golikova.
Izobilnensky Center for Social Services
Aquatherapy for the older generation in the Stavropol Territory
For the third year, with the support of the national project "Demography", the All-Russian selection of the best practices of active longevity is held in the country.
This year, 57 of the 113 practice finalists are dedicated to maintaining an active life at an older age.
All of them will be replicated in the Russian regions.
Thanks to the practices of active longevity, Russian pensioners, together with instructors and “silver ” volunteers, master the most advanced sports areas: sapsurfing, practice adaptive aerobics, aquatherapy, plogging and much more.
All this helps the older generation to preserve the fullness of life.
An effective way to prevent age-related diseases is swimming with simple exercises in the pool.
Therefore, in the Stavropol city of Izobilny in the Center for Social Services of the Population, a special set of classes in the water was developed for the elderly.
The project "Aquatherapy for the older generation" helps to slow down age-related changes, improve health and reduce pain.
“An active lifestyle helps people of mature age stay energetic and vigorous longer.
We recommend that the older generation regularly visit the swimming pool, classes in which have a positive effect on health, help maintain physical shape and effectively deal with age-related problems, ” explained Svetlana Bukreeva, Director of the Izobilny Center for Social Services and the author of the practice “Aquatherapy for the older generation ”.
Neftekum Comprehensive Center for Social Services
Health Group for Eastern Wellness Practices, Stavropol Territory
And, for example, in Neftekumsk of the Stavropol Territory, they regularly practice the best health-improving methods of the world: Chinese qigong, Korean spiral gymnastics and Kazakh aykune gymnastics.
Classes are specially selected so as to maximize the recovery of the body.
“Silver ” volunteers help peers to master new practices.
As the instructor-methodologist of the Neftekum comprehensive center of social services Irina Tarasova noted, nothing motivates the participants better than a good example before your eyes.
“After all, the highest motivation among the older generation arises when they see his assistants next to the instructor – their peers in excellent physical shape, ” she said.
Such volunteers also participate in the Adaptive Aerobics program in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk.
The basis of her classes is the technique of adapted exercises that improve the work of the joints, strengthen the muscles and restore the correct structure of movement.
Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk Psychoneurological Boarding School
Adaptive aerobics, Sakhalin Oblast
All this allows people over 60 to remain active, and simple exercises and communication with other participants improves not only physical, but also emotional and cognitive health.
“When exercising, 60 + people always smile and laugh.
In some groups there are mentors from among the “silver ” volunteers, this supports the participants and forms a team spirit, ” said the instructor-methodologist on adaptive physical culture and the author of the project Alexander Kim.
People of the “silver ” age master more unusual sports.
So, in Zavolzhsk, Ivanovo region, plogging is gaining popularity.
Participants walk and pick up garbage along the way to improve the environmental situation in the city.
Often in these actions, schoolchildren and other active residents of the city join older volunteers.
“Environmental activities within the framework of the project improve the quality of life of our citizens: it is more pleasant to walk, relax where there is order, where there is no garbage.
This to some extent encourages others to observe cleanliness, as well as to participate in cleaning actions.
The practice gives the volunteers themselves physical activity, satisfaction with the work done, friendship and communication, ” said Olga Krutova, Deputy Director of the Zavolzhsky Center for Social Services.

Plogging – together for sport and ecology (Ivanovo region)
60-year-old participant of plogging Nadezhda Kuzmicheva said that this project also attracts the opportunity to communicate with like-minded people and help nature.
“First of all, we come for communication.
We are already elderly people, we do not go to work, we have one route: the garden is home.
And here we communicate with people.
And, of course, the soul hurts.
They used to come to the beach - there are bottles, there are bags.
And now we come and see that there is much less garbage on the shore, ” says Nadezhda.
According to her, in one trip, volunteers can collect from 300 bags of garbage.
In the Kaluga region, as in many other regions, older people improve their health by Nordic walking.
As told “silver ” volunteer Svetlana Yastrebova, in her venerable age, she is full of enthusiasm to inspire everyone to engage in this type of physical activity.
“I try not to miss classes, ” says Svetlana Alexandrovna,“ I pick up sticks for Scandinavian walking and go!
Movement in the fresh air along the paths of our beautiful forest gives a lot of energy and positivity.
It ’ s simple and accessible to everyone. ”
Center for development of social projects of the city of Odintsovo
Sapa riding in the Moscow region
Meanwhile, in Odintsovo near Moscow, the members of the Active Longevity club found an interesting alternative to Scandinavian walking and learned to ride on sappes.
Older people not only learned to control the board and keep balance on the water, but also have already passed several alloys with a length of six kilometers along the Moscow River.
Sapboarding classes help to improve the functioning of the cardiovascular system, develop endurance, strengthen muscles and get rid of extra pounds.
But the main thing is to improve the emotional state.
“We wanted to give people of“ silver ” age an opportunity to experience children ’ s, driving emotions!
The participants felt forces in themselves, the existence of which was not even supposed.
After rafting, they thought about flying on parachutes – without a doubt, they will succeed! ” shared the head of the department for working with the territories of the Center for the development of social projects of the city Svetlana Knyazeva.
As reported by IA Regnum, one of the most important goals of the national project “Demography ” is to make sure that people live as long as possible without restrictions caused by age-related changes and chronic diseases.
Thanks to the national project, older people have new opportunities for leisure - they play sports, handicraft, sing, dance and travel.

Rent fraud is prevalent to see through these 4 traps
Tricked to Laos, squeezed and spilled blood, asked the Communist Party for help, paid the ransom, and returned to Taiwan.
These 4 items are required in medicine cabinets for people over the age of 65.
Older people inevitably have more minor ailments, and the doctor's advice on changing diet and exercise can improve these problems, but some adjustments in the medicine cabinet at home will also help.
Before deciding what to prepare, it is best to face the health pitfalls associated with aging (easy mistakes) and discuss them with your doctor.
Here are 4 things every person over the age of 65 must have in their Chinese medicine cabinet, and why they are so important.
First aid kit
Aging usually changes vision, hearing, muscle endurance and balance, which can lead to the risk of serious falls, and chronic medications taken by older adults can also damage the sense of balance and leave you with frequent injuries at home.
This is also an important reason why every elderly person over the age of 65 should have a first aid kit in the medicine cabinet at home.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), “Every second of every day in the United States, people over the age of 65 suffer from falls, making falls the leading cause of injury and death at this age. ”
In the United States, a quarter of the elderly fall every year, and falling has become a concern for the general public, especially the elderly. ”
Anti-inflammatory pain relievers
For the elderly, it is no secret that most people experience pain here and there.
“Older people have stiffer muscles, less flexibility in tendons and ligaments, and a longer recovery time after injury, ” says family physician Donald Ford.
This is also the reason why anti-inflammatory and painkiller drugs are necessary, "as long as the kidneys are OK, you can take them."
But Ford is against routinely taking anti-inflammatory painkillers unless discussed with a doctor.
“Even non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like Motrin or Advil can damage the kidneys when taken in excess for a long time. ” Pain can also be reduced by regular exercise or stretching without side effects.
Cold medicine (cold medicine)
No matter how old, everyone gets a cold, but the elderly are at higher risk of getting complications than the young. Experts from the National Council on Aging say that even small colds are dangerous for the elderly, who have weakened immunity and are powerless to fight the pathogen.
This is why cold and flu season is especially dangerous for people over the age of 65.
Another thing to note is that colds can lead to pneumonia, which in the past claimed the lives of thousands of Americans every year.
In addition, if you already have asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or emphysema, the cold can worsen these symptoms for several weeks until the cold has healed.
Cold medicine in the medicine cabinet at home can effectively reduce these symptoms and reduce the risk of worsening.
Gastroesophageal reflux (Heartburn medications)
Many older adults find that they develop gastroesophageal reflux more often as they age than when they are younger, which can be a side effect of certain medications, muscle aging resulting in loose esophageal brachial muscles, obesity, or an esophageal hernia (a stomach disease that occurs in 60% of people over the age of 60).
“It ’ s not clear at what age this will worsen, but as we get older, the problem of gastroesophageal reflux becomes more and more serious, ” says Scott Gabbard, who says research shows that one in four people over the age of 75 need to take medication for gastroesophageal reflux.
The above advice comes from the latest research and medical and health care experts, but it is not necessarily for everyone, people over 65 years old are best to discuss with their doctor what drugs should be stored in the medicine cabinet at home, and when health conditions or the need to take drugs, it is best to consult their own family doctor directly.
Muscle Medicine Obesity

Content: Exercises that activate brain activity by 100%
There are a lot of kinesiological exercises developed - I selected only those that are convenient to perform in a sitting position, including while working on a computer.
And that they really help, I have not a drop of doubt, otherwise I would have abandoned them long ago, and so for a long time I resort to them daily, since they are simple and do not require time costs.
These exercises can be performed by both adults and children, they invigorate, tone, relieve fatigue, heaviness in the head, help to cope with unwanted drowsiness at the moment, sharpen attention and memory, and also significantly increase the ability to concentrate on the work performed.
Kinesiology is the science of developing mental abilities and achieving physical health through motor exercise.
It includes a combination of theoretical and practical knowledge from naturopathy, physiotherapy, acupuncture, chiropractic, oriental medicine, homeopathy, etc.
With the help of kinesiology techniques, health is strengthened, the main mental processes are optimized (memory, attention, thinking, speech, hearing, imagination, perception), mental performance is increased, psycho-emotional state is improved.
Exercise "Hooks"
To relieve tension, calm the nervous system, focus and quickly restore psycho-emotional balance - you need to sit on a chair, cross your legs, putting the ankle of the left foot on the ankle of the right foot.
Then cross your hands, putting the wrist of the right hand on the wrist of the left hand, then connect the fingers in a lock, so that the thumb of the right hand is on top of the thumb of the left hand.
Turn the hands in the lock in front of the chest “inside out ” so that the engaged fingers are directed upwards.
Look straight, look up, the tip of the tongue is pressed against the upper palate (you can inhale the tip of the tongue to the hard palate, relaxing it while exhaling).
Sit in this position for 1 – 5 minutes until the yawn appears or until a feeling of sufficiency.
This technique (it can also be performed standing or lying down) only at first glance seems simple and uncomplicated.
Kinesiologists argue that with such a crossing of hands, feet and fingers, complex processes occur, leading to a balanced work of the motor and sensory centers of both each hemisphere of the brain and the middle brain, which is directly above the hard palate.
At the same time, the unification of emotions and thought processes is achieved (strengthening of interhemispheric integration), leading to the most effective work (learning) and response to what is happening.
Exercise “Mirror drawing ”
Put a clean piece of paper on the table.
Take a pencil or felt-tip pen in both hands.
Start to draw simultaneously with both hands mirror-symmetrical drawings, letters, numbers.
When doing this exercise, the eyes and hands relax.
When the activity of both hemispheres of the brain is synchronized, the efficiency of the whole brain will significantly increase.
By the way, in kinesiology there is such a curious technique, not only useful, but also fascinating.
Most of us perform routine daily physical activities with the right hand (left-handed – left).
And what if you experiment, trying to brush your teeth, comb your hair, pick up certain objects, and so on, with the other hand?
Studies show that performing a routine action with an “uncomfortable ” hand activates new areas of the brain and helps develop new contacts between brain cells.
Children like these exercises very much.
Exercise “Ear – nose ”
With the left hand, take the tip of the nose, and with the right hand, take the left ear.
At the same time, let go of the ear and nose, clap your hands, then change the position of the hands “exactly the opposite ”.
Exercise “Kocherga ”
Turn the raised foot inward and swing it back and forth 8 times.
Same with the other leg.
Exercise "Holy"
This position is suitable for relaxation after work.
Sitting (you can stand or lie down), keep your legs parallel, without crossing.
Connect the tips of the fingers of both hands in pairs, as if grasping a small ball, and place the hands in front of the chest.
The eye is directed downward, the tip of the tongue is sandwiched between the teeth.
Stay in this position for 1-2 minutes, until the appearance of yawning or until a feeling of sufficiency.
Exercise calms, relieves neuromuscular tension, harmonizes mental processes.
Kinesiologists claim that it improves the separate work of the right and left hemispheres of the brain.
Exercise "Forehead and occipital correction"
When you experience feelings of anxiety, uncertainty, excitement (or even stress), the so-called fronto-occipital coverage helps.
Put one hand on the forehead, the other on the back of the head.
Concentrate.
After taking a few deep, even breaths and exhalations, calmly voice your problem.
If you can ’ t talk out loud, it ’ s enough just to think about it.
Sit like that for a few minutes.
If there is a yawn, it means that the body is already getting rid of the tension.
When the hand touches the forehead, blood flow occurs, it begins to circulate better through the frontal lobes of the brain.
In this part of the brain, analysis, awareness and assessment of the problem occur, and ways out of this situation are determined.
On the back of the head is a zone that perceives visually those images that are then stored in our memory.
Applying to this area of   the palm stimulates blood circulation.
A person, as it were, erases in this way problems, images, negative situations.
Thanks to deep breathing, oxygen enters the blood, the air is ventilated - and the negative evaporates from the body.
Exercise gives the desired result.
Exercise “Energizer ”
Put your hands on the table in front of you.
Hold your chin against your chest.
Feel the stretching of the back muscles and relaxation of the shoulder girdle.
With a deep breath, throw your head back, bend your back and open your chest.
Then, as you exhale, relax your back again and lower your chin to your chest.
As a result of these actions, the muscles of the neck and shoulder girdle relax, the level of oxygen in the blood increases, the vestibular apparatus is activated, the flow of cerebrospinal fluid in the central nervous system increases.
This simple but effective exercise I mostly resort to while working at the computer.
If you perform it for 5-10 minutes, then the feeling of fatigue decreases, and even completely passes, the head begins to “work ” much better, the concentration of attention increases.
Exercise “Buttons of the brain ”
This is a mini-series of three exercises, as if including the "electrical system" of the body.
As a result, the blood supply to the brain and the work of both hemispheres are activated, the concentration of attention increases, the perception of sensory information improves.
Exercises relieve mental fatigue, help to focus on memorizing new information and even improve coordination of movements.
In addition, they contribute to relaxation, relieve nervous tension (and are very useful, by the way, to hyperactive, easily excitable people, both adults and children).
Perform each exercise with each hand for 20-30 seconds.
• With the index and middle fingers of one hand, massage the points above the upper lip (middle of the nasolabial fold) and in the middle under the lower lip.
The palm of the other hand lies on the navel at this time.
At the same time, you need to translate the view in different directions: left-up and right-down, etc.
Then change the position of the hands and repeat the exercise.
• Place the index and middle fingers of one hand, slightly pressing, under the lower lip.
With the fingers of the other hand, massage the coccyx area at the same time.
Repeat the exercise by changing the position of the hands
• Put the palm of one hand on the navel.
With the fingers of the other hand, massage the coccyx area.
After 20-30 seconds, change the position of the hands.
The “Elephant ” Exercise
This is one of the most integrating exercises of Paul Dennison ’ s Brain Gymnastics.
It activates and balances the whole system of the body "intellect - body", improves the concentration of attention.
So, the ear is tightly pressed to the shoulder.
At the same time, stretch out one hand like an elephant ’ s trunk, and begin to draw with it a horizontal eight, starting from the center of the visual field and going up counterclockwise.
The eyes follow the movements of the fingertips.
Then change hands.
Do the exercise slowly, 3-5 times with each hand.
I really like this exercise and I do it quite often throughout the day.
Especially intriguing is the statement of experts that “Elephant ” allows you to identify hidden abilities and expand the boundaries of the brain.

Study: Taurine can delay aging and preserve youth
A new study involving dozens of aging researchers around the world has shown that a lack of taurine — a nutrient produced by the body and found in many foods — plays a guiding role in animal aging.
The same study also found that taurine supplementation can slow the aging process in worms, mice, and monkeys and can extend the healthy lifespan of middle-aged mice by up to 12%.
Vijay Yadav, assistant professor of genetics and development at Columbia University ’ s School of Medicine and Surgery, said: “For the past 25 years, scientists have been trying to find factors that not only allow us to live longer, but also increase healthy lifespan, the time we stay healthy in our old age.
Over the past two decades, efforts to identify interventions that improve health in old age have intensified as people live longer, and scientists have shown that the aging process can be manipulated.
Several studies have found that different molecules that travel through the bloodstream are linked to aging, but scientists are unsure whether or not these molecules actively guide the aging process.
If a molecule is a driver of aging, restoring its youthful levels will delay aging and increase the years we spend in good health.
Professor Yadav was interested in taurine, for the first time, during his previous research into osteoporosis and revealed the role of taurine in bone building.
Around the same time, other researchers found that taurine levels were associated with immune function, obesity, and nervous system functions.

Yadav added: “We realized that if taurine regulates all these processes that decline with age, taurine levels in the bloodstream may affect overall health and life span. ”
According to the study published in the scientific journal: “Taurine decreases with age, and supplementation increases the lifespan of mice. ”
Yadav ’ s team looked at taurine levels in the bloodstream in mice, monkeys, and humans, and found that taurine frequency decreased significantly with age in humans.
“From here, we started asking if taurine deficiency was the driver of the aging process, and we did a large experiment on mice, ” Yadav says.
The researchers began experimenting on nearly 250 female and male mice aged 14 months (about 45 years compared to humans), and each day, half of the mice were given a dose of taurine or a control solution.

At the end of the experiment, Yadav and his team found that taurine increased life expectancy by 12% in female rats and 10% in males.
For mice, this meant an additional three to four months, equivalent to about seven or eight years for humans.
To find out how taurine affects health, Yadav brought in other toothed researchers who investigated the effect of taurine supplementation on health and age in many species.
Experts measured various different health parameters in mice, and found that at age two (60 years for humans), animals given taurine supplements for one year were, in almost all respects, healthier than their untreated counterparts.
The researchers found that taurine prevents age-related weight gain in female rats, increased energy expenditure, increased bone mass, improved muscle endurance and strength, reduced depressive and anxiety-like behaviors, reduced insulin resistance, and boosted the immune system, among other benefits.
“Not only did we find that animals live longer, but we also found that they live healthier lives, ” Yadav says.
Similar health effects to taurine supplementation were observed in middle-aged rhesus monkeys, who were given daily taurine supplementation for six months.
Taurine prevented weight gain, reduced blood sugar glucose and signs of liver damage, increased bone density in the spine and legs, and improved the health of their immune systems.
Taurine has also been shown to improve many functions that decline with age, reduce the number of old cells that must die and release harmful substances, and increase the number of stem cells present in some tissues, which help to heal after injury.

Study: Cheap drug accessible to everyone is able to fight Coronavirus
Researchers do not yet know whether taurine supplementation will improve health or increase longevity in humans, but two trials conducted suggest taurine has potential.
Initially, Yadav and his team looked at the relationship between taurine levels and about 50 health criteria in 12,000 European adults aged 60 and over.
In general, people with higher taurine levels were healthier, with fewer cases of type 2 diabetes, lower levels of obesity, lower high blood pressure, and lower levels of inflammation.
Yadav said: "These correlations do not prove causality, but the results are consistent with the potential for taurine deficiency to contribute to human aging."
The researchers measured taurine levels before and after a variety of male athletes finished a strenuous cycling workout, and found a significant increase in taurine among all groups of athletes (runners, endurance runners, natural bodybuilders) and sedentary individuals.
“Regardless of the person, taurine levels have increased in everyone after exercise, suggesting that some of the health benefits of exercise may come from increased taurine, ” Yadav said, adding that“ despite all these indications, a human clinical trial remains the only way to determine whether taurine really has health benefits. ”
He pointed out that "taurine has some advantages as it is produced naturally in our bodies, can be obtained naturally from the diet, has no known toxic effects, and can be enhanced by exercise."
