Understanding Balance: Center of Gravity vs. Base of Support

Ever lost your balance and wondered why? Let's dive into the fascinating world of our body's balance mechanism! It's all about our center of gravity and base of support! 🤔

🌐 The center of gravity serves as the anchor point of our body around which our weight is evenly distributed.

👣 The base of support, on the other hand, is the area beneath us that supports our weight –
think of it as the foundation of a building.

So, what happens when we start to topple over? 🤷‍♂️
Losing balance occurs when our center of gravity shifts outside our base of support. Imagine your body as a leaning tower; if it leans too much without a broader base, down it goes! 🏰

In these moments, our body instinctively reacts. We either fall 🍂 (oops!) or take a quick step forward to widen our base of support and regain our balance. It's like our body's natural reflex to prevent a fall. 🦶
