Hey,
International balance researchers spotlight
the silent reason strong people still fall...
"Cognitive frailty in older adults is an independent risk factor for falls."
In plain terms?
Your brain, not just your muscles, plays a major role in your balance.
Even if you're active.
Even if you're doing leg work, stretches, all the right things...
If your brain's ability to focus, react, and stay sharp begins to fade...
Your sense of balance can quietly start to slip right along with it.
And this isn't rare.
Falls send more than 800,000 older adults to the hospital every year...
Most from everyday moments they didn't expect to go wrong.
That pause before stepping off a curb.
Reaching for a wall when getting out of bed.
Feeling "a little off" but not sure why.
These aren't just quirks of aging.
They might be signs your body and brain are falling out of sync.
The good news?
There's something you can do—once you know what to look for.

In December 1941, Japan attacked American and British territories in Asia and the Pacific, including at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, leading the United States to enter the war against Japan and Germany. Japan conquered much of coastal China and Southeast Asia, but its advances in the Pacific were halted in June 1942 at the Battle of Midway. In early 1943, Axis forces were defeated in North Africa and at Stalingrad in the Soviet Union, and that year their continued defeats on the Eastern Front, an Allied invasion of Italy, and Allied offensives in the Pacific forced them into retreat on all fronts. In 1944, the Western Allies invaded France at Normandy, as the Soviet Union recaptured its pre-war territory and the US crippled Japan's navy and captured key Pacific islands. The war in Europe concluded with the liberation of German-occupied territories; invasions of Germany by the Western Allies and the Soviet Union, which culminated in the fall of Berlin to Soviet troops; and Germany's unconditional surrender on 8 May 1945. On 6 and 9 August, the US dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan. Faced with an imminent Allied invasion, the prospect of further atomic bombings, and a Soviet declaration of war and invasion of Manchuria, Japan announced its unconditional surrender on 15 August, and signed a surrender docum
