Be Kind to Your Feet

I read a great little article in the USA Weekend a few weeks ago about your feet and wanted to share these little tidbits.

Take protective steps.
You always put sunscreen on your face, arms and legs but do you do the same for you ankles, toes and soles? Skin cancer can occur on any unprotected part of your body and experts say melanoma of the foor and ankel is prevalent.

Skip flip-flops on most days. (this is hard in the south)
Research shows flip-flops can be painfully bad for your feet. If flip-flops can fold in half, they're not sturdy enough. Investigators at AUBURN UNIVERSITY (yes you read that right) foudn that when people walk in the thong-style versions, they change your gait, which can result in foot, ankle and leg pain. They're fine in moderation just make sure to chose a sturdy pair with cushioning and arch support and replace them at the first signs of wear and tear.

Keep feet dry.
About 1/3 of Americans have sweaty, smelly feet. Air out sweety shoes before waering them again and chose naturaol or syntheitc blend socks that wick away moisture.
