A MyNotifi Memo: 3 Top Fall Myths Debunked

Ignorance isn’t bliss when it comes to your health and safety. It’s important that you remain informed about falls and fall risks. You’d be surprised how many people fall for these common myths.

Myth: Falling is not a big deal.

Fact: Even though some falls are not serious, many are, and can have long-lasting effects. In fact, falls are the leading cause of non-fatal and fatal injuries for Americans over 65.

Myth: Limiting my activity will prevent falls.

Fact: This is absolutely false. Lack of activity and strength actually puts you at greater risk of falling. Exercise is one of the best ways to prevent falls, especially if it helps improve lower body strength, flexibility, range of motion, and balance.

Myth: Once you’ve lost muscle tone and flexibility, they’re gone.

Fact: Fortunately, this is just not true. It’s never too late to start getting the benefits of exercise.
