Avoid the Most Common Cause of Injury

10 Ways to Avoid the Most Common Cause of Injury

One of the most common cause of injury among adults is a fall. Among "older adults" having a fall can often be life changing.

I also added in a seafood photo for an extra happy oomph. Here are a few of my favorite meals that I will share with you for inspiration: [caption id="attachment_6305" align="aligncenter" width="320"] Homemade chili - this is a chili with ground beef, cabbage, pork and...
