And how most falls happen in your own home.—The 5 Components of Balance. And how those with hearing loss are three times more likely to have a fall. —How your diet and your medications can contribute to the risk of falling. —The ProBalance360 at Holistic Integration that is described as a "secret weapon" in helping to prevent falls and improve balance. And how this treatment has been shown to be 97% effective.—Why Dr. Prather says that good balance is important for everyone, from helping older people to stay youthful to even helping children have a higher I.Q. and perform better in school.—How you can receive a FREE Balance Assessment and Posture Screen by attending our educational seminar this Wednesday, December 13th at 6 p.m.http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com
