People often take their feet for granted and don't realize how much pressure and ware we put on them everyday.
Your feet are the foundation of your body so it is important to take care of them and wear the proper footwear sop they do not become injured in the long run.
Feet issues is most common among women who wear high heels. I know it is a fashion trend and makes your legs look great but it will seriously damage your feet and bone structure. The damage can move all the way up your legs.
"I used to see about five women a week with foot problems due to poor shoes—now it's about three a day," says Jacqueline Sutera, DPM, a podiatric surgeon in New York City. In fact, women's visits to the doctor for foot and toe complaints shot up 75% between 2005 and 2009, according to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS). Experts caution that bad footwear choices can wreak havoc all the way up the legs and into the spine. Maybe even as far as our heads: Presidential hopeful Michele Bachmann made headlines in July when a news site reported that she blamed high heels for her migraines.
People have even gone as far as to do a special gym workout that involves bringing your heels and doing exercises while wearing them and strutting as if on a fashion runway.
If you want to be able to work out for a good portion of your life, you need to take care of every part of your body, including your feet. There are new fashion lines of shoes that are trendy and good for the stability of your feet. These are a great investment for your health and fashion sense. Which is more important to you, your fashion or your health? Always think about your long term health.
Keep Sweating It!
