Did you know falling is the number one cause of injury and death among older Americans?
Today is the first day of fall, also recognized as Fall Prevention Awareness Day in the United States by the National Council on Aging (NCOA). According to Kathleen Cameron, Senior Director at NCOA, 1-in-4 Americans aged 65 and older falls every year, resulting in expensive health-care costs and sometimes a reduced quality of life. She noted that Minnesota ranks number two after Wisconsin for the number of falls reported among older adults, with South Dakota and Iowa also among the top ten states.
Cameron, encourages older adults to seek a tai chi program in their community, she said, “It's been around for thousands of years, and there's been research looking at its effectiveness in reducing falls. And if it's practiced over a period of 24 weeks, it can reduce falls by as much as 55%."
Proving yet again that the Tai Chi for Health programs are beneficial and effective to improving health and are a vital part to aging well: taichiforhealthinstitute.org/

Did you know that Falling is Not a normal part of aging and Falls are Preventable? Interesting article indicating more than 25,000 U.S. adults age 75 or above died from a fall in 2016, up from more than 8,600 deaths in 2000.
Tai Chi works because it involves: movement control, weight tranference and integration of the mind and body. No matter what forms of tai chi, if specific tai chi principles are incorporated into tai chi practice, the result will be better balance and reduced falls.
