The Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) offer these tips.
- Exercise regularly. Learn Tai Chi—a low-impact exercise that promotes strength and balance.
Or choose another fun activity that keeps you active.
- Review your medications. Visit with your doctor about reducing side effects and interactions that may
cause drowsiness and dizziness.
- Have your vision checked. Get an eye exam yearly and update your prescription so you can get the
most out of your glasses.
- Make your home safer. Install handrails and grab bars, turn lights on when entering a room and remove
tripping hazards like throw rugs.
