Exercise: Walking After Meals Could Reduce Falls Among Elderly.

According to new report, getting up and moving around at a normal pace after eating could save older people from falls caused by the sudden loss in blood pressure known as post-prandial hypotension. Researcher Dr. Renuka Visvanathan explains, “Simple, practical and cheap lifestyle interventions that older people can implement are highly desirable. The results showing that walking can be an effective strategy are pleasing, and will help in better understanding the overall picture of this common problem.” The University of Adelaide, March 2015
