13. Wear the right footwear

Not all shoes are created equally, and if you’re an older adult, you should definitely take a closer look at what you’re wearing. An orthopedic surgeon at Kaiser Permanente in Southern California, Abraham Gregory Lin, MD, says that if you have shoes that make you trip or fall, you’re not wearing the right footwear.

He added that he witnessed many cases of fractures from tripping in platforms, high heels, sandals, and flip flops. Choose comfy shoes with shock absorption and good traction.

14. Load up on greens

Sadly, dairy is the first thing that pops into our heads when we think about vitamin D and calcium, but we should also consider greens. They are an amazing source of vitamin D and calcium. Plus, green veggies also provide decent amounts of fiber and other crucial vitamins.

A sports medicine and primary care physician at Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush in Chicago, Jeremy Alland, MD, says that we should eat green veggies more often, especially beet greens.
