Greetings

Welcome to the September edition of FYZICAL South Meridian newsletter.

Getting consistent amounts of sleep regularly influences emotional, physical, and mental well-being. Most adults’ busy schedules cause interrupted sleep, which can lead to cognitive issues, poor immunity, mood fluctuations, and other health problems. Maintaining a healthy sleep pattern should not be neglected. Read the full article to learn more about the importance of a good night’s sleep.

To use a backpack comfortably and safely, ensure it fits properly, is packed correctly, and is worn with good posture. Place heavier items close to the center and near your back to keep the load stable and balanced. Adjust the shoulder straps so the backpack sits high on your back. Ideally, it should rest about two inches below the shoulder blades and no more than four inches below the waistline. It should not sag loosely or hang too low. Finally, choose a backpack that meets your functional needs and isn’t too large for your body size.

Falls remain the leading cause of injury-related deaths in adults 65 and older, yet too many fall risks go undetected until it’s too late. In honor of National Falls Prevention Awareness Month, we’re proud to collaborate with the Vestibular Disorders Association (VeDA) to raise awareness and bring proactive care to our community.

Balance issues don’t always look like falls, they start small: dizziness, grabbing furniture, avoiding stairs. Quiet signals your body gives before something serious happens.

The good news? Most falls are preventable. At FYZICAL, we catch the signs early. Our fall risk screening detects subtle balance issues before they lead to something serious, helping you or someone you love stay safe and connected to the life you love. Let’s Fight the Fall together.

Here are two simple recipes to enjoy for lunch or dinner.
