Dear Turapür Today Reader,
As we age, we all have to face an unfortunate reality.
Sometimes our bodies just don’t work like they used to.
Maybe we struggle seeing things that were once crystal clear… or find yourself struggling to hear everyday conversations.
Or even worse, our balance and strength fails us and leads to dangerous – and sometimes deadly – FALLS!
But you don’t have to worry about taking a tumble any longer.
Because research shows there are some new ‘moves’ you can start doing TODAY that could save you from a nasty fall… or even save your life.
And I’m not talking about boring exercises… painful stretches… or even tedious physical therapy.
I’m talking about DANCING!
A new Swiss study shows that when folks over the age of 65 dance, it leads to a 31% REDUCTION in falls… and a 37% overall DECREASE in the risk of falling!
In other words, preventing potentially deadly falls could be as simple as dancing!
But why dancing?
According to the new research study, dance-based activities with upright movements actually improve balance, which is key to preventing falls.
Researchers noted that dance-based activities are intentional, focused and involve constant attention and control for the shifting of body weight.
Think of dancing as ‘balance training’ that helps you react faster when losing control.
If you’re not quite ready to hit the dance floor (but are concerned about your balance), scientists have developed a SIMPLE clinical test that can assess your lower limb strength of seniors and can predict your risk of falls.
The “enhanced paper grip test” involves pulling a small card from underneath the foot while gripping it with the big toe.

If a card can be easily pulled away from the grip of the big toe, it could be a sign that you’re susceptible to life-altering falls.
Big toe grip (also called Hallux grip force) has been strongly linked to the strength of ALL muscle groups of the foot and ankle and the ability to maintain balance.
So, if you’re having issues with your balance and stability, it’s probably time to talk to your doctor about taking this quick and easy test.
It could just be the thing that saves you from any future falls.
