Glamies how are your feet doing? Our feet is usually a neglected member of the body but a very vital one. Why take care of your feet? Feet are your body's foundation, so keeping them healthy is vital to your overall health. Years of wear and tear can be hard on your feet. Overuse, shoes that don't fit properly, and even genetics can lead to injuries and disorders of the foot that can greatly impact your mobility.
Let's examine 6 ways to keep our feet in tip top condition:
1- Yoga is beneficial for our entire body, but it can be particularly helpful for strengthening the muscles and tendons in our feet.
2- reflexology massage of the feet has many benefits and can alleviate pain and discomfort, improve circulation and soften the skin and nails with the use of a good massage oil or cream.
3- A good foot soak can work wonders to relax the entire body at the end of the day. Hydrating our feet will not only soften the nails and skin to prevent bunions, corns, cracked heels and ingrown toe nails; it can also reduce the bacteria build up associated with foot odor and athlete’s foot.
4- A foot scrub, Having dry and cracked skin on your feet, particularly the heels can be a cosmetic problem or it can become a more serious medical issue and cause infection.
5- Going Barefoot, Early scientific research has shown that connecting with the earth directly on our bare skin has many health benefits. Drawing electrons directly into our bodies from the earth is shown to improve sleep and reduce pain. Walking around barefoot on the soil, grass and sand feels good for a reason.
6- Wearing Good Shoes, Wearing shoes for fashion can sometimes force us to abuse our feet, so wearing proper fitting and good quality shoes in order to make sure our feet don’t suffer unnecessarily. Making sure the shoes we wear are the correct size and provide appropriate support depending on the activity we are doing can greatly assist us to look after our feet and ensure optimum health.
