Frequently Asked Questions

How often should seniors engage in fall prevention exercises?

For optimal results, seniors should aim for at least 15-30 minutes of balance and flexibility exercises most days of the week, ideally 3-5 times. Consistency is more important than intensity.

What kind of footwear is best for improving mobility and preventing falls?

Choose shoes with good support, a non-slip sole, and a low, wide heel. Avoid loose-fitting slippers or high heels, as these can increase the risk of trips and falls. Secure footwear that fits well is crucial.

Can diet play a role in fall prevention for seniors?

Yes, a balanced diet rich in protein, calcium, and Vitamin D helps maintain muscle strength and bone density, both vital for mobility and reducing fall risk. Staying hydrated is also important to prevent dizziness.
