The importance of healthy feet
The area of our feet is one of the most important in our body, so they deserve a lot of care and dedication.
Twenty-five percent of the body’s 212 bones are in the feet. If any of these bones (or the ligaments, muscles and tendons surrounding the bones) lose alignment or receive too much stress, the effects can be felt anywhere in the body.
We need to adopt simple and practical methods that give a new perspective to our lives.
It is important to remember that not only long working days affect our feet, but also the friction caused by shoes, the humidity caused by having the foot covered and the lack of proper perspiration of the skin and nails.
These situations could cause slight injuries, fungus or disorders, tendonitis, bunions, arthritis and can increasingly limit mobility.
A large number of people are affected by bunions, corns or calluses. Although it is not a serious problem in principle, it is annoying and can lead to other more serious problems. As the years go by, the plantar cushion can wear out, the forefoot becomes painful and calluses appear. These foot abnormalities are very painful and can lead to falls; diabetics can suffer ulcers due to diabetic foot.
We can solve all these problems easily with Herbi Feet foot care products.
What can we do for the proper care of our feet?
First of all, you should have your foot evaluated by a podiatrist.
Medicine is becoming more and more proactive, so you may be able to avoid major problems by using orthotics, arch supports or even other types of socks. Herbi Feet foot care products will offer you great improvement in many of these problems.
There are two problems that occur in the feet at any age: arthritis and diabetes. Arthritis can cause bunions and stiffness.
Just as we take care of other parts of our body, such as the hair and face, the feet should be examined and cared for on a daily basis. Thus, the feet will be examined taking into account:
- If there is a change in nail color or thickness, this may indicate fungus.
- It is important to check the color of the foot, its temperature and that it is not swollen or hard. On the sole of the foot there may be areas with inflammation or that hurt when touched. This may be due to the existence of corns, papillomas or plantar fasciitis.
- There may be cracks or cuts between the toes, which is a symptom of fungus.
- It is necessary to moisturize the skin of the feet regularly. A gentle massage in the evening will activate blood circulation and produce a pleasant relaxing effect.
- The type of footwear is very important for each occasion. When exercising, the footwear recommended for each sport should be used; at work, regardless of whether you are standing or sitting, a specific type of footwear is also necessary. Thus, all working people should consult a podiatrist for the most appropriate type of footwear. It is generally recommended that the footwear should respect the width of the foot, be flexible, have a cushioned sole and that the heel should be no higher than three centimeters.
Heavy workers should wear footwear with a steel reinforced toe cap, waterproof and slip-resistant soles.
