This document provides information on balance, including how balance works, common balance disorders, statistics on falling, and exercises to improve balance. It explains that balance relies on visual cues, internal spatial orientation from the inner ear, and feedback from muscles and bones. Common balance disorders cause dizziness and disorientation. Falls are the leading cause of injury for older adults, with over 1/3 falling each year. The document recommends various exercises people can do to improve balance, such as plantar flexion, knee flexion, and side leg raises. Safety tips are provided, like holding onto furniture for support. Tracking progress by timing how long one can balance on one foot is also suggested.

This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

Microteaching is a unique model of practice teaching. It is a viable instrument for the. desired change in the teaching behavior or the behavior potential which, in specified types of real. classroom situations, tends to facilitate the achievement of specified types of objectives.
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

4. How Does Balance Work?
Balance is a magnificent
combination of teamwork from
the brain, muscles and bones
which help keep us from falling,
allow us to rise from a chair,
climb stairs and walk outside on
uneven terrain.
5. How Does Balance Work?
There are three ways we process balance information as we go about our day.
Visual cues come from our eyes and tell us information about our environment. They
help us sense potential dangers and obstacles to prevent falls.
Internal spacial orientation tells us where our arms and legs are positioned in space. For
example when our eyes are closed we know where our arm is because of this integral
sense of spacial orientation.
The inner ear contains fluid-filled semicircular canals which provide our brain with
crucial information on the position of our head and its movement in space in relation to
gravity. This is why we get seasick or car sick.
When all these systems are working together automatically with our musculoskeletal
system we can stay active and independent, preventing falls and improving your
elderly balance.
6. Balance Disorders
According to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication
Disorders, when balance is impaired, an individual has difficulty maintaining
orientation. According to NIDCD, some of the symptoms a person with a balance
disorder may experience are:
•A sensation of dizziness or vertigo (spinning)
•Falling or a feeling of falling
•Lightheadedness or feeling woozy
•Visual blurring
•Disorientation
Some individuals may also experience nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, faintness,
changes in heart rate and blood pressure, fear, anxiety, or panic. The symptoms
may appear and disappear over short time periods or may last for a longer
period of time. A doctor's help will be necessary to sort out these different causes
and arrive at a correct diagnosis.
7. Falling Statistics
• Did you know that falling down is the leading cause of injury
death for Americans age 65 and older?
• According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
CDC), each year 35 to 40 percent of older adult Americans fall
at least once.
• Falling down is not just the result of getting older. Falling can be
caused by a variety of circumstances, and many falling mishaps
can be prevented.
• Each year, U.S. hospitals have 300,000 admissions for broken
hips, and falling is often the cause of those fractures. Balance
exercises can help you stay independent by helping you avoid
the disability - often permanent - that may result from falling.
8. How to Reduce Your Risk of Injury
from Falling
Many factors are involved with falling
•Vision may decrease and lead to falls
•Reduced muscular strength including weak legs and
hips
•Postural problems including curved spine and spinal
degeneration.
•Step height may be reduced increasing stumbling
•Decrease in reaction time
•Drug interactions
9. Want to Prevent Falling? Have Your
Vision Checked Regularly
Vision problems can increase your chances of
falling.
•You may be wearing the wrong glasses, or
have a condition such as glaucoma or
cataracts that causes vision problems or limits
your vision.
•To reduce your risk of falling, have your vision
checked by an eye doctor every year for
early detection and correction of vision
problems. If you can’t see something, it’s
harder to avoid it, and this increases your risk
of falling.
10. Prevent Falling: Watch Out for
Medication Side Effects
Age can affect the way some medications work in your body, so if you have
been taking any over-the-counter medications for awhile, it's important to tell
your health care provider. He or she will be able to tell you if the over-the-
counter medications are still safe for you to take.
•Look out for drugs--or combinations of drugs--that have side effects including
drowsiness or disorientation. These side effects can increase your risk of falling.
•This is especially important with over-the-counter cold and flu medications,
which can often increase drowsiness.
•And don't forget herbal remedies. Some remedies increase sleepiness and
many react with other types of medication, which could increase your risk of
falling down. Be sure to check with your health care provider before trying new
medication, especially if you are already taking prescription drugs. And ask
your doctor or pharmacist for a complete list of side effects you might expect
when taking them.
11. Increase Your Home's Accessibility
and Safety to Reduce Falling Risks
About half of all falls happen at home. To increase accessibility and make
your home safer:
• Remove items you might trip over (such as papers, books, clothes, and
shoes) from stairs and places where you walk.
• Remove small throw rugs or use double-sided tape to keep the rugs from
slipping.
• Keep items you use often within easy reach, so you can avoid using a
ladder or step stool.
• Have grab bars installed next to your toilet, and install grab bars in your
tub or shower.
• Use non-slip mats in the bathtub and on shower floors.
• Improve the lighting in your home. As you get older, you'll need brighter
lights to see well. Use lamp shades or frosted bulbs to reduce glare.
• Make sure all stairways have handrails and sufficient lighting.
• If you have a disability, it's best to wear shoes that give good support and
have thin non-slip soles.
You might also consider avoiding lightweight slippers (especially backless
styles) or athletic shoes with deep treads, which can reduce your feeling of
control.
12. Before You Start: Safety Tips for
Balance Exercises
Before you start your exercise program, read these safety tips for
lower body exercise:
• Check with your doctor before beginning any exercise program.
Hold onto a table or chair for balance when you used only one
hand.
• As you progress, try holding on with only one fingertip. When you
feel comfortable with one fingertip, try the following lower body
exercises without holding on at all. Ask someone to watch you the
first few times, in case you lose your balance.
• If you are very steady on your feet, move on to doing the
exercises using no hands, with your eyes closed. Have someone
stand close by if you are unsteady.
13. Balance Exercise Safety Guidelines
• Be aware of your posture. Try to maintain your weight over your
ankles.
• Avoid fast movements including quick turns or changes in position.
• Use a chair as a place to not only perform seated exercise but
also to hold on to while standing. Hold on with your finger, one
hand or two hands.
• Always get up slowly when rising from a chair.
• Don't close your eyes when exercising or standing at your chair.
• Do not hold your breath.
• If you are taking medications, ask your doctor if there are any
side effects which may cause light-headedness or decreased
balance.
14. What You Will Need
1. A sturdy armless chair.
2. Smooth bottom shoes that won't catch on the carpet.
3. A counter to hold which will allow 8 to 10 feet of
walking.
4. Soft items to step over under 6 inches high. Slippers
and small plush toys work great.

you have something sturdy nearby to hold onto
if you become unsteady.
Examples:
Walk heel-to-toe. Position your heel just in front of
the toes of the opposite foot each time you
take a step. Your heel and toes should touch or
almost touch. (See Illustration.)
Stand on one foot (while waiting in line at the
grocery store or at the bus stop, for example).
Alternate feet.
Stand up and sit down without using your hands.
21. Other Exercises
•Grapevine – Arms at side and feet together, step across in front of your left foot with your right

leg. Begin practicing in kitchen by holding onto counter.
•Single Limb With Arm – raise your arm and then lift same leg.
•Stepping Exercises – place soft objects 12 to 16 inches apart. Step over each one at least 6”
off the ground for each step.
•Clock Reach – Hold chair, lift outer leg and bend knee, extend arm forward at 12, move to 3
then 6.
•Eye Tracking – hold thumb in front of face w/elbow bent, move thumb as far to the left as
possible and then to right without moving your head, only use your eyes, repeat by moving
thumb upwards and downwards; hold thumb at arms length, move thumb as far to right and left

22. Balance Exercise: Checking
Your Progress
It feels good to know that you're making
progress, and with balance exercises the change
can be very subtle. Here's how to tell when your
balance is improving:
•Time yourself as you stand on one foot, without
support, for as long as possible.
•Stand near something sturdy to hold onto in
case you lose your balance.
•Repeat the test while standing on the other foot.
•Test and record your scores each month.
23. How much balance exercise do I
need, and how often?
With any exercise program, it's important to remember this phrase:
"Everything in moderation.“
•The NIH recommends that you don't increase your regularly scheduled
strength exercise sessions to incorporate these balance modifications.
•Remember: you can do more harm than good by doing strength
exercises too often. Don't exercise the same set of muscles 2 days in a
row.
•Simply do your strength exercises and incorporate these balance
techniques as you progress.
24. Improve Your Body Balance with Exercise
to Prevent Falling
• If you don’t have a regular exercise program, start one. Lack of
exercise leads to weakness, and that increases your chances of falling.
• Exercise can improve your body balance and flexibility at any age.
• Having a regular exercise program is also one of the most important
ways that people can reduce their risk of falling. Exercise also makes you
stronger and helps you feel better.
• Try exercises that improve balance and coordination, like Yoga and Tai
Chi. Because you work at your own level, these exercises are often
suitable for people of any age.
• Check with your health care provider about the best type of exercise
program for you.
