It’s a shocking truth: most young and middle-aged adults neglect their health. Recently, I lost a good friend—a 32-year-old medical representative who had just helped me set up a new vaccine center. He attended the opening ceremony of my lifestyle and prevention center, and just a few days later, he tragically succumbed to a heart attack. Don’t wait to prioritize your health. No matter your profession, make sure you get regular holistic health checks. Raising awareness about stroke prevention is challenging, and promoting holistic health checks is even more difficult. #Strokeprevention #strokeawareness #Lifestylemedicine #preventivemedicine

Remember when falling used to be a piece of cake? When you were a kid, and even in your teens and 20s, you’d hop right back up, probably not even check to see if you were bruised or bleeding anywhere and return to whatever you were doing before you took a tumble. Those days are long gone for many of us, but physical therapist Paulette Swanson, who develops and coordinates fall prevention education at the Trauma Department at Health First’s Holmes Regional Medical Center in Melbourne, has strategies to keep you on your feet. “After age 30, strength and endurance decrease 10 percent every decade,” says Swanson. “Getting started early [learning to avoid falls] is very important.” According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 1 in 4, or 14 million, older adults fall yearly. Only about half of those who fall tell their doctor. In addition, falling once doubles the chance of another fall. But the good news is most falls can be prevented. Taking precautions, such as starting an exercise routine and having regular checkups can help keep you safe. https://lnkd.in/g2PtAEnS #exercises #physicaltherapists #physicaltherapist #physicalhealth #physicalfitness #healthcare #healthandwellness #healthandwellbeing #strengthening #muscles #patientcare #mobility
