14. How does exercise help prevent
falls?
Getting regular exercise is one way to prevent falls and fractures
that result from falls. Exercise keeps muscles strong and improves
balance. It also helps keep joints, tendons, and ligaments
flexible. In turn, your balance and the way you walk may improve,
lowering your risk of falling. (Answer continues on next
