Wear shoes that are stable and supportive, but also that have flex in the sole to make walking more natural. Walking with an uneven gait can lead to falls.

Get your eyes checked every year. Vision is an important sensory system that affects balance, and the less well you see, the more likely it is you will miss something that can cause you to trip.

Stay hydrated. When the fluid in your ears thickens because of dehydration, it can cause dizziness which can lead to a loss of balance.

Make balance training a habit. Choose a routine chore such as washing dishes or brushing your teeth, and do it standing on one foot. Any motion you have while on one foot will help train your balance. Lift your right foot on even days and the left foot on odd days.

Build strength to help prevent falls because strength is a huge part of balance. Just going from sitting to standing helps build muscle strength and therefore balance. When you get up from a chair, do it twice!
