Each of our foot contains 28 bones and 35 joints; you’ll walk thousands of kilometers each year and accumulate literally tons of pressure on them during your lifetime. Your feet, of course deserve special care and attention.

Go Barefoot

Shoes make your feet weak, so at the end of the day, slip them off and pad around the house barefoot. Not only is it good for the muscles in your feet, it may benefit the whole body. It’s been suggested that sitting in motor vehicles and offices surrounded by strong electrical fields messes up the polarity of the human body – walking on damp grass is thought to short-circuit that and reset your body’s polarity. Walking on sand or grass not only feels great, it also provides your feet with the kind of support sports-shoe manufacturers aim for.

Roll Away The Tension

Quick way to relax tired feet: Take a couple of golf balls, an old rolling pin, or even an empty beer bottle and roll them underfoot while you sit on a chair. Remember not to put too much weight on the bottle.

Ease Off The Hard Stuff

Not tequila, though that’s also a good idea. Use a pumice stone to rub off hardened skin on the sides of your heels. Not only because you want feet that are soft and supple, but because the hardened skin will eventually crack, which can bleed.

Daily Treatments

Wash your feet daily. Rinse off all soap and dry thoroughly, especially between toes.
Trim nails straight across, and not too short. Don’t cut out or dig at corners.
Wear clean socks or stockings, changed daily. Don’t wear any that are too short or too tight.
Wear shoes that fit.
Some people’s feet sweat more than others, and are more prone to athlete’s foot.

These tips may help:
Wear shoes made of leather or canvas – not synthetics. Sandals are good.
Switch shoes from day to day.
Use foot powder.
See your doctor if severe problems persist.
Don’t ignore pain. Painful feet are not normal. Many foot conditions can be cured if you visit a chiropodist as early as possible.
Wash your feet daily in warm soapy water. Do not soak the feet as this may cause them to become excessively dry
Dry your feet thoroughly, especially in between the toes.
Apply moisturising cream all over the feet, except in between the toes.Wash your feet daily. Rinse off all soap and dry thoroughly, especially between toes.
