[www.keralites.net] HOW TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FALLING

HOW TO REDUCE THE RISKS OF FALLING

Applies to ALL of us! Please read it carefully, test your strength
And see where do you stand ( not falling ) and what is to be done!!

Increased Risk of Fall Accident Begins at Age 40

One of the main health concerns of elderly people is falling, which is often related to poor balance. In fact, many studies show that people begin to have balance problems starting at the age of 40 years.
The older you get, the weaker your physical body and sensory abilities will be, which are all factors in having poor balance.

In Japan , more than 7,000 people a year die from falling accidents, which already exceeds the number of traffic accidents.
In this article, we'll examine in more details the cause of falling and why you lose balance as you age.

## Test Your Balance by Standing on One Leg
You can determine how good your balance is by measuring the length of time that you can stand on one leg.

The following table shows the average balance time by age group in a study conducted at a Japanese health institute.
Average time with eyes open
20-39 years old: 110 seconds
40-49: 64 seconds
50-59: 36 seconds
60-69: 25 seconds
Average time with eyes closed
20-39 years old: 12 seconds
40-49: 7 seconds
50-59: 5 seconds
60-69: less than 3 seconds
If your balance time is below average, then you'll have higher risk of falls, or slipping and tripping accidents.In the above study, women tend to lose their balance more than men but only by a small margin (1-2%). From this study, it is also evident that there's a sudden significant decrease in the ability to maintain balance among middle-aged people (40 years and above).
Please take note that the numbers stated above are only average. There are people who were able to maintain balance much longer, and there are also those who were only able to maintain their balance at much shorter time regardless of age and gender. The reason why they vary is explained further below.

## The Soles of Your Feet Have Sensors
The skins all throughout your body have significant amount of tiny pressure sensors or mechanoreceptors. Some areas have few pressure sensors, while other areas have thousands, like on the soles of your feet.

The pressure sensors on the foot soles provide information to your brain to help balance your body. As you get older, the sensors will get weaker and your foot sole lose sensitivity. But there are also other factors that can lead to weaker pressure sensors.

## Poor Blood Circulation Can Disrupt the Pressure Sensors
In our study, people are almost twice as likely to be in a fall accident caused by poor blood circulation.This can be simulated by soaking your feet into ice cold water for about 3 minutes. Because of the cold temperature, the pressure sensors on the foot sole begin to lose sensitivity.

## Pay Attention to Your Forward-Moving Foot
If your forward-moving foot hit something, your body will be off-balance causing you to fall or trip.Well, it's a matter of common sense to always have your eyes on path and watch where you are going. Remember the old adages - "Prevention is better than cure","An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure", "Look before you leap", etc.?
But that's not the only problem. Here are the other two major reasons why you stumble while walking.

1. Your forward-moving foot is pointed down.
If your foot is pointed down while making a step, then you are more prone to falling. To avoid this, your forefoot or toes should be flexed upwards as shown on the image below.

2. You walk like a pendulum.
The height of your step can greatly increase your risk of falling. To prevent this, your forward-moving foot must be higher off the ground (at least 5 cm) while the knee is raised high as shown on the image below.

Actually, all the mechanoreceptors located throughout your body as well as the soles of your feet are sending information to the brain that include muscle contractions and joint angles.

When this information is not transmitted well to your brain, which happens as you get older, then the movement will get weak or ineffective making it hard for you to maintain your foot higher off the ground.

## How to Prevent Yourself from a Fall, Trip, or Slip

1. Keep Your House Clean
There are a lot of things in your house that can contribute to clutters that can cause you to trip or fall. Always make sure to put away or store properly all personal belongings and other unnecessary things even if it is only a newspaper, remote control, and laundries scattered on the floor or carpet.

2. Stretch Your Feet and Ankles

You might think that your feet do not need exercise or stretching compared to other parts of your body, but in reality, feet stretching exercise can really help your feet maintain balance.

3. Keep Your House Warm and Ensure Adequate Lighting
Cold muscles and pressure sensors work less well and are less responsive to signals. A decreased temperature will also cause your muscles to have less strength and less flexible, which can lead to accidents.

Always try to keep your house warm or wear proper clothes and footwear, especially during winter. Since most falls occur indoors, make sure your house has adequate lighting.

[www.keralites.net] SASAPARILLA - Nannari

SARSAPARILLA, NANNARI,THE QUANTUM SHERBET DRINK- CAPT AJIT VADAKAYIL
SARSAPARILLA , NANNARI , THE QUANTUM SHERBET DRINK - CAPT AJIT VADAKAYIL

As children we used to play football, cricket and 7 tiles ( chatti ) , as soon as we came back from school, till dusk. During the holidays we used to play throughout the day. We were a gang of about 16 boys.

During the summer vacations, invariably there would be a exhibition ( fair ) in Calicut. One of my friends ( 13 years old ) used to have his own lemonade stall, like Dennis the Menace.

His elder brother and mother used to make Sarasaparilla sherbet concentrate for him. And we used to watch. In Kerala everybody loves to have Nannari spiked lemonade in summer. So this stall used to do roaring business.

This is how they prepared it--

Method:
1) Break the Nannari roots into say 5 cm long pieces and then dry them under the hot sun for about 5 hours.
3) Crush the roots with a ammi and remove the hard portion from the inside of the root.
3) Powder the remaining parts.
4) Boil water in a vessel. Once it boils, remove the vessel from the fire and now add the powdered root and mix well.
5) Leave the mixture aside for 12 hours, without stirring--it has to diffuse.
6) Strain the liquid out with a muslin cloth into another vessel.
7) Add brown sugar into the mixture.
8) Place the mixture onto the stove again and boil till the texture become a bit sticky.
8) Let it cool, now bottle it
9) Add fresh lemon juice to a table spoon.
10) Put crushed ice and the lovely aroma ( woody + vanilla + fruity ) drink is ready to be served.

Sarsaparilla is called Anantamul in Sanskrit. 6000 year old Ayurveda uses Sarsaparilla root extensively as it is an anti-oxidant and has quantum healing effects.

It is administered in the form of powder, infusion or decoction as syrup.

It is also a major component of several Ayurvedic medicinal preparations.

Sarsaparilla (Hemidesmus indicus) is a woody wine that can grow up to a height of 50 m and bears small flowers and black, blue or red berry-like fruits.

The exposed part of the root is brown in colour, while the inner part is whitish. The root has an astringent taste and a pleasant odour. The herb is found in foothills and only the roots of the herb are used for extraction.

Decoction of stalks and leaves is used for skin eruptions.

Decoction of the roots ( which contain vitamins A, B-complex, C and D, also the minerals iron, manganese, sodium, silicon, sulfur, copper, Zinc, and iodine) , have several uses in the treatment of several disorders :--( in random order )

Diuretic , to increase the excretion of uric acid,increases volume of urine and flushes out stones from body

Coolant, promotes sweating , binding with toxins in the skin and the sweating then pushes the toxins from the body through the skin pores---

let me rush through now--

blood purifier---anti-inflammatory--- arthritis--- edema--- rheumatism---- kidney---- liver cleansers---- treating kidney stones---- venereal diseases---- epilepsy---- nervous diseases---- tonsillitis---- syphillis---- stomach disorders---- lose weight---- constipation ---- alleviate inflammation of spleen and gall bladder---- urinary disorders---- anaemia---- wheezing---- infertility----impotence----.diarrhoea----acidity---- tonsillitis----antipyretic----, astringent to bowels----.urino-genital----tract inflammation----.gout---- epilepsy---- insanity---- chronic nervous diseases---- intestinal gas---- production of sexual hormones---- antibacterial activity---- .sore mouths of children---- lack of appetite----bronchitis----asthma---- ulcers---- body odour---- mouth odour---- piles---- uterine complaints---- paralysis---- premature graying of hairs---- eye and catarrhal problems---- scrofula and ringworms---- abdominal distention---- turbid urine---- pre and post-natal care---- PMS---- immuno suppressant tonic---- eczema---- psoriasis----stimulates the flow of bile---- good for hair growth---- stimulates the production of sexual hormones etc

SURPRISED? THIS IS ALL ABUT QUANTUM CATALYTIC ACTION !!..

Leprosy can be controlled by regular intake of the root powder in dose of 3 to 6 gms twice daily along with decoction of this plant.

The juice of the roots can be applied as eye drops for burning sensation of the eyes.

The root powder can also be administered for dysentry, leucoderma and piles etc.

Negates the fatal effects of a phospholipase A2, which is one of the major components of venom released by cobra, krait and Russell's viper snakes.--also for treatment of scorpion stings and rat bites.

A saponin from the plant is found to have antiinflammatory activity against formalin induced edema.

A safe natural and organic drink, as an alternative to thirst quenching modern canned drinks that contains toxic and acidic chemicals. The Chinese Admiral Zheng He used to love it.

Indian Sarasaparilla or Nannari, is different from American Sarsaparilla which they use in root beer.

I will advise Chilean wine makers to use Sarsaparilla as a flavour--to make it an elexir .

Never confuse taste with flavour. Taste is a chemical sense perceived by the receptor cells in the taste buds. Flavour is a fusion of multiple senses. Your perception of scent is more than a thousand times stronger than your perception of taste. Taste is 78% smell.
