Next to the skin, the foot is probably the most undervalued body part, but
one that can make life very painful and difficult if neglected. Everything
from corns, athletes foot, cracked heals, fungus nails, ingrown nails, blisters,
offensive odor and even back pain can be avoided by giving your feet just a
little attention they so dearly deserve.
The Foot
The anatomy of your foot is very complex. With more than
250,000 sweat glands, 26 bones, 33 joints, over 100 muscles,
ligaments and tendons, your feet are responsible for carrying
your entire weight. Toenails and fingernails are made up
of a very hard protein called keratin. Nails function are
to protect your fingers and toes from injury.
Pedicures
A professional pedicure, performed by a licensed foot care
specialist, once every four weeks can be very enjoyable
and therapeutic for your feet. The technician will groom
the nail bed, trim the cuticles and nails properly so there
is no chance of ingrown toenails to occur. They will also
file the horny layer of your heals, ball of your foot and
big toe if necessary to rid the foot of this thickened
dead skin. Although this treatment can be very effective
and relaxing, it is very important you ask your foot specialist
how often the equipment is disinfected and sterilized.
If not, you may be exposed to foot and toe fungus that
can lead to painful infections.
Shoes
Tight fitting shoes and high heals (as pretty and stylish
as they may appear) can lead to corns, blisters, calluses;
not to mention hammer toes (toenails that are bent like
a claw). More serious conditions such as back and leg pain
may be caused by unstable high heal shoes that effect muscles,
bones, joints and ligaments in your body.
Wearing sandals made of plastic or rubber will dry and crack
your heals; look for shoes made of canvas or leather.

Tips
* Use
a foot treatment with salicylic acid daily to prevent dead
skin from building up.
* Exfoliate
once a week with a gentle foot file in the shower.
* Once
a week push cuticles back to avoid painful hang nails.
You can find orange wood sticks in your local drug store
that make this task very easy.
* Once
a month get a foot massage AKA reflexology.
* When
wearing sox, wear cotton or wool; these fibers let your
feet breath.
* Drying
your feet thoroughly can prevent athlete's foot.
