Deaths from falls in those 65 and older in the US have increased from 18,000 to 30,000 per year. Overprotecting the elderly paradoxically increases the risk of a fall.

So it makes … Read moreDeaths from falls in those 65 and older in the US have increased from 18,000 to 30,000 per year.

“Physical activity and exercise therapy not only improve symptoms and impairments of OA, but are also effective in preventing at least 35 chronic conditions and treating at least 26 chronic conditions, with one of the potential working mechanisms being exercise-induced anti-inflammatory effects.” https://www.jospt.org/#/doi/full/10.2519/jospt.2018.7877

Avoid trusting those with no “skin in the game”. They benefit weather you do or not. Trust.
