Beware of fall season!

Fall season is the only season which I have missed so far in US. It is the most picturesque season with different colours of flowers and leaves decorated by nature lining the avenues. A beautiful scenario to be enjoyed by the nature lovers.

My warning is not about the beautiful season, It is about the human fall season.
Human fall season starts around 55 to 60 years and mostly it depends on the constitution of the individual.

I pity the men because hair fall season starts quite early for many, even before they get married and the receding hairline becomes a stumble block to choose a nice and beautiful girl. Of course after marriage if they become baldy nothing could be done, but you can boast that it is the sign of intelligence.

The fall season for humans start with falling of teeth any time after fifty on its own and due to poor maintenance the dentist might pull it out at any time. Those who lose their teeth at early in life has the advantage of going in for dentures. :biggrin2:
It's really disheartening when my dh consulted a dentist some time before if he could go for dentures, the dentisttold him that due to his advanced age the gums might have gone weak and it may not set in properly. As it is he was avoiding to go to the dentist, but due to my pressure he went and secretly he was feeling glad :-D on the dentist's opinion.

The diseases that affects the humans during the human fall season are many. The most painful ones are joint pain and back pain. The joints at knees and elbows become rigid and so it cause much pain while bending and while folding hands. Even the fingers are affected badly because of non-flexibility.
Many people are affected by Parkinson disease and find it difficult to hold things. :shaking:

Dementia is another disease that completely erases the memory power.

Now we come to the literal fall in the old age. This is the dangerous one as there is chance of breaking the bones and surgery is needed to set it right. I have recently read in a book that the first fall after we cross middle age warns that we are entering the band wagon of oldies. So we should be careful to avoid falls. Is it possible? Even though we are careful sometimes it happens even without our knowledge. The doctor further says that the second fall might be the cause for death after ailing for some time.

Beware of fall season and take care not to fall!
Beware of osteoporosis which will weaken your bones and make them brittle! (Specially ladies)

Please do not get disheartened after reading this. :hide:

You can lead a healthy life even in fall season if you stick to the adage,
"Prevention is better than cure!"

Be Happy, cheerful and Healthy!
