Today I want us to look into some health precautions that might help us, especially when you see an individual fall, and I want us to see how we can prevent this falls.
Now, what do I mean by this fall? Following what the world-health organization has defined “a fall may be described as an unplanned event that an individual decent to the ground with or without an injury.
Now, research and studies has recorded that falls constitute a major health problem worldwide. It is the second cause of accidents and injuries in world ranking. This falls has cause death and it has been globally recorded about 646,000 deaths yearly.
Mostly children, adults aged (65 and above) and of course developing countries suffer over 80% of this falls. The fall injury maybe fatal or non-fatal sometimes. This may depend on where it took place.
It leads to bone fracture, head injury in some fatal cases. These injuries can cause disabilities, pain and the worst of all death to the victim, and can also lead to prolong hospitalization and death.
Now the causes of these falls may include, Vitamin D deficiency, another thing that might cause fall is dizziness, lack of balance when carrying out an activity. Even your foot wears can lead to a fall, poor sight as well is one of the causes of fall.
But the good news is it can be prevented by taking simple precautionary measures. These precautions may include; Getting rid of things that may cause a fall in your home, office and your environment. Also keeping slippery surfaces dry can also help, keep your home safe at all times. Please ensure that the spaces in your living room, bathroom and stair case ways are always lit to avoid these falls.
The most vital or call it the important thing is that you talk to your doctor about your sight as well as your vitamins in this case it is vitamin D.
Please do as well to remember that, it’s still cheaper to prevent than to cure. And I do hope you stay safe and have a wonderful day as well.
