Exercises For Improving Balance In Seniors And The Elderly Exercises for improving balance are vital in helping seniors and the elderly reduce the risk of falling. For generalized balance decline, I recommend performing balance exercises on a daily basis. Below I have made a great balance video that is fun and easy to do. All you need is comfortable loose fitting clothing, and a pair of smooth bottom shoes to wear so you won't catch your feet. Read on then give it a try. Working on our static or "standing" balance with exercises like body circles below will greatly assist in increasing our stability. An important component of exercises for improving balance is your ability to integrate your sensory information as you go about your day. This information comes from your eyes, vestibular apparatus in your ears, and your somatosensory system which allows you to know where your body is in space. Do It Yourself Exercise Programs The first thing to know is that any good functional exercise program includes a mixture of just 7 key movements. They are 1. Squat 2. Lunge 3. Bend 4. Twist 5. Push 6. Pull 7. Gait (walk/run) Gait – Great for a full-body workout, for cardio work, and for improved co-ordination and posture Resistance – not necessary, can contribute to poor posture and back/neck tension As funny as it sounds, many people have no idea how to walk (let alone run) properly. While there is much to be said about technique that can’t possibly enter this article, there’s one really great tip that you can put to use right away. Simply imagine a column running straight down the centre of your body. From the top of the head to the soles of your feet. When you walk or run, visualize either side of your body twisting evenly around that column. Keep your belly lightly drawn in, your shoulders relaxed, and your head high. Sounds too simple to do anything, doesn’t it? Just give it a go – I promise you’ll be pleasantly surprised! A Healthy Menu For Tuesday The American Academy of Family Physicians recommends low-fat and fat-free dairy foods as part of a nutrient-rich diet. A calcium-rich breakfast includes 2 slices whole-wheat toast with 1 slice of low-fat cheese, a medium banana and 1 cup skim milk. A turkey sandwich--3 oz. of lean deli meat turkey on 2 slices of whole wheat bread with lettuce, tomato and mustard--with 1 oz. of pretzels and cucumber slices makes an easy lunch. Twenty almonds are a nutrient-rich afternoon snack. A heart-healthy dinner may consist of 4 oz. grilled salmon, 1 cup couscous, 1 cup steamed carrots and a tossed salad with low-fat salad dressing. A 1/2 cup of light ice cream is a 150-calorie evening snack.
