Trauma can be physical, mental, emotional, generational, or institutional. A traumatic experience can be acute or chronic. Examples of trauma include illness, accident, assault, neglect, natural disaster, torture, and war. But even life events that most people welcome, like childbirth, can be traumatic.

For years, many runners have used heart rate-based training to maximise their running potential. This method includes working at five ‘zones’, where your heart is beating at a percentage of its maximum capacity. In zone 1, you’re warming up for a run, while in zone 5, you’re at an all-out sprint.

Movement is a powerful tool for improving mental health. But becoming overly reliant on exercise for mental health support can backfire. “Exercise is great and does many things for your body, but you don’t want that to be the only arrow in your quiver,” says integrative psychiatrist Henry Emmons, MD, author of The Chemistry of Joy.

Research has well documented the tendency of older folks to take a tumble: , about one in four American seniors fall each year, often landing in emergency rooms for treatment and nursing homes for recovery. Geriatricians and general practitioners have long cautioned their elderly patients to watch their step, but a trio of studies I stumbled upon last week could help these healthcare providers identify those who may be more likely to fall — and help them rise again after they topple.
