Fall prevention: Simple tips to prevent falls
Have you ever tripped down the stairs? Slipped on a rug? It may seem silly, but falls are nothing to take lightly. Here are tips to fall-proof your home: 1. Keep electrical cords out of walking paths. 2. Securely fasten carpet, rugs and carpet runners to the floor. 3. Keep walkways and stairways free of clutter. 4. Use nonslip mats in the bathtub or shower.
Working out? Time your meals right
Think about how much you eat before you work out. If you eat too much, you may feel sluggish. On the flip side, if you don't eat much before you exercise, you may not have the energy to keep feeling strong throughout your workout. To strike the right balance, eat a light snack before exercising. After a big meal, wait a few hours before hitting the gym.
