CALL 1-800- 394-5170 (NAPSA)-Research by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that falls are the leading cause of fatal and non- fatal injuries for seniors. Fortunately, through a combination of technology solutions and lifestyle choices, seniors can be prepared for the event of a fall, as well as take proactive measures to decrease the likelihood during Fall Prevention Awareness Week (September 22 to 28) and all through the year. For example, medical alert devices, such as Philips Lifeline, can provide access to a Response Center to contact emergency help should a fall occur. In the event of a fall, time between the fall and getting medical atten- tion matters. Studies show that seniors using a medical alert device saw an emergency re- sponse time more than 320 times faster than seniors having to call for help on their own. Beyond using these devices, Fall Prevention Awareness Week marks an occasion to re- mind seniors that staying physically and men- tally active can help prevent falls. To begin and maintain this activity, here are three rec- ommended steps seniors can take to support an independent and healthier life: • Establish a regular fi tness regimen. Sedentary lifestyles can gradually cause poor fl exibility, loss of strength and decreased bone mass-all of which will increase the chances of falling. Establishing a consistent fi tness rou- tine will put your body in better shape and make exercise easier as you get older. • Adhere to medication and physician orders. Eighty-seven percent of adults aged 65 or older take at least two medications and 42 percent take fi ve or more. With long lists of medication, adherence can be diffi cult-but ULTIMATE BUNDLE from DIRECTV & AT&T. 2-Year Price Guarantee - Just $89.99/month (TV/fast internet/phone) FREE Whole-Home Genie HD-DVR Up- grade.

Consider these fi ve simple steps for a do-it-yourself (DIY) apple gift basket: 1. Find an artful basket-either one you already have or a simple, inexpen- sive basket from a craft store, closest big-box retailer, or even your grocery store. 2. Fill with healthy, wholesome apples-red, green and yellow-the more colors, the merrier. 3. Personalize with foods or trin- kets your giftee will enjoy-nothing fancy; simple stocking stuffers will do. 4. Consider a theme for the basket- Is the recipient a music afi cionado? Bird watcher? Golf addict? Match the theme to the person-like our suggestions, pic- tured. 5. Accent with ribbons, stuffi ng and personalized labels-so they know this was created by you just for them.

USApple.org and @USApples on Pin- terest. it’s vital to follow all directives and advice from your physician to avoid mistakes that can lead to falls. • Stay social in your community. Al- though many older Americans value their independence, it’s important to be social and surrounded by others who care about you. This will help lower your chances of depres- sion, make you happier as you age, and in- crease the chances of someone being there for you if you fall and need help.
