As we age, fall prevention is one of the most important things we can do to stay healthy. There are many ways you can reduce your chances of falling, but we recommend these top three tips in your everyday life:
- Remove home hazards such as rugs, boxes, and cords from walkways.
- Wear properly fitting, sturdy, flat shoes with nonskid soles.
- Use appropriate lighting at all times to avoid tripping on objects that are hard to see. This can include night lights, lamps, and flashlights.
