The characteristic of the winter season is that the floor you are pressing is slippery and distorted, and therefore it is easy and frequent to fall. Therefore; The base of the shoe should be the kind that prevents sliding. To cold with cold reason is to walk to the hands of the client, to invite the enemy to fall.

Fractures with weak bone structure are more easily seen with falls. After a certain age, osteoporosis (bone erosion) is common. Sometimes bone is spontaneously fractured in people with bone marrow. A number of measures can be taken to avoid such a fracture.
The view that genetic structure, childhood nutrition and physical activity are the main factors determining the health of the musculoskeletal system gain weight in recent years. In every period of your life; Healthy and balanced nutrition, physical activity, adequate amount of vitamin D and calcium intake are essential for the health of our bones.
From here to childhood; Calcium-rich nutrition, sporting and balanced - healthy nutrition. If it is desired that the bone-muscle system be healthy throughout life, we should give importance to the nutrition and sports of our children.
In order not to break their bones, There should be no suggestions like getting up from the place, traveling around. On the contrary, it is known that older individuals work on bones and muscles, and bones remain intact as long as they carry the body. As long as they can, they must be protected. In order to realize this movement, a request for assistance should be made if necessary.
Deterioration of the body control mechanism of the brain with aging can be seen. Frequently and easily falling individuals should be considered to have a neurological problem in their bed. In such cases, medical treatment may be required.

Taking into account age and health status, it has been shown that a total of 4 hours of live walks a week affects the hip fractures 40% positively.
The main building blocks of the musculoskeletal system are proteins. If enough protein is not taken, the muscles are weak. Weak muscles lead to easier falls. It leads to more fragile bone structure.
