Strive To Prevent Falls As You Get Older

When you get older, the risk of a fall increases, which is unfortunate when you consider that your body may not bounce back the way that it used to.  Thankfully, there are ways to limit the chances of a fall, and a new report explains what these ways are in time for National Senior Health and Fitness Day.
