Healthy Feet

It is my pleasure to give you quality advice and information about feet problems.

We all know that our foot is the only neglected part of the body and we don't take the right care for it by giving it some moisture, this will result in cracked and dry heels.

With these easy solutions you can enjoy pain free foot for many years to come.

While you were younger, you walked on high heels, ran on high heels, even danced on high pair of killing heels and probably took your feet for granted.

As you get older your toes develop some growing pains and ask for you to take care of them and show them some love. They have to work very hard to sustain your weight and keep you in balance.

Has all to do with hormones.

Pregnancy can change your body right to your toes. A hormone called relaxin (which loosens pelvic ligaments in the third trimester) can also affect ligaments in the foot, causing the arches to drop. Then foot muscles in the bottom of the heels spasm in an effort to maintain the arches, says podiatrist Megan Leahy, spokeswoman for the Illinois Podiatric Medical Association. The result is the achy, throbbing pain of plantar fasciitis, an inflammation of the tissue across the bottom of the foot. (Non pregnant women can develop it too, often from weight gain or wearing unsupportive shoes.

A great stretch to treat, or prevent, this heel pain is:

Stand facing a wall, 3 feet away from it; step forward with your right foot, keeping your left heel on the floor. Lean forward, supporting yourself against the wall until you feel a stretch; hold for 90 seconds. Stretch on each side 3 times a day.

Pick the right kicks

Most women have flatter foot than they think and need a different shoe. Step out of the shower and look at your wet foot's imprint on the bath mat. A flatter foot will leave a wider spot; a higher -arched one will show less contact along the inner arch. Those with low arches often need a stability shoe. High arches often benefit from extra cushioning. Whatever kind of arch you have, you'll help prevent foot problems by tossing your running or walking shoes after 350 to 500 miles about every 8 to 12 months if you log about 10 miles a week.

Watch for warts

Younger women tend to have better hydrated skin, making them more prone to getting plantar warts on the bottoms of their feet. That's because the virus that causes these live in warm, moist places i.e., sweaty foot or slick locker room floors. These warts often can look like calluses, but have teeny black dots. Try an over the counter wart remover with salicylic acid.

Years of pointy shoes with cramped toe boxes or shifting your weight forward onto the balls of your foot in high heels can lead to bunions (a painful bump on the side of the big toe joint that drives the big toe inward), hammer toes (a claw-like toe deformity), and Morton's neuromas (nerve swelling, often at the base of the third and fourth toes). These conditions are also hereditary, so even if you have never tortured your feet, you may be prone. Adding insult to injury, the shock-absorbing fat pad on the bottom of your feet starts to get thinner, making heels even harder to tolerate.

Solution

Kick off your 3-plus inch heels for kitten or wedge heels, or flat with cushioning and support. Wear sneakers or walking shoes to work, then change into a 2-inch heel. Commuter shoes with rubber soles , shock absorption and arch support can really south you.
