Orlando, FL— November 26, 2015 — The home is considered by many as the safest place to be. However, this is not at all true to some people. Accidents and injuries often take place inside homes, and this only shows that the place does not always determine the safety or risk that people are exposed to. There are many things that people should know about injuries and how they can be prevented.
Experts reveal the risk factors and techniques for reducing falls at home. There are major risk factors, namely the age, medications, lack of exercise, and the environment. People, especially those suffering from arthritis, should ensure that everything they do will not increase their risk of accidents or injuries.
According to the World Health Organization, there is an estimated number of 424,000 fatal falls that take place every year inside homes. This only demonstrates the importance of taking preventive measures against unwanted falls. Accidents and injuries often worsen the conditions that people are already suffering from.
“One of the best ways to prevent falls is to simply maintain joint health, and this can be done through taking glucosamine supplements,” said VitaBreeze Supplements spokesperson, Michelle O’Sullivan.
Age is a high risk factor due to the fact that individuals who are over 65 years old are often more likely to have fatal falls. Aging often results in osteoporosis and weakness in the limbs. Falls can lead to immobility and other undesirable health consequences. Taking supplements, such as glucosamine, is one of the best ways to reduce the risk of falls.
Taking certain medications is believed to affect mental alertness and cause drowsiness. Intake of alcohol is another thing that can worsen the dizziness caused by medications. Environmental factors include wet floors and other things at home that could be prevented and could cause falls.
Individuals who don’t exercise are also more likely to experience falls. Lack of exercise results in weakness in limbs and insufficient strength in the muscles, and all of these can increase one’s risk for accidents. Regular exercises of a total of 150 minutes per week are highly recommended.
Glucosamine is a naturally-produced substance inside the body. However, as a person ages, the glucosamine levels gradually reduce. This can result in cartilage damage and joint problems. Glucosamine is believed to help maintain and improve cartilage and joint health, and thus strengthen the knee caps.
Many individuals are even using glucosamine supplements to achieve relief from arthritis pain. The most popular glucosamine supplements are those that contain chondroitin, MSM, and turmeric (http://www.amazon.com/Glucosamine-Sulfate-Chondroitin-Supplement-Turmeric/dp/B00DUMO9X4/).
