Would you be surprised if I told you our feet are the most hardworking and neglected body part? Every day our feet enable us to run, walk, and jump. They endure being placed in a variety of shoes from high heels to flip flops. What we fail to remember is how important our feet are to our overall health.
We need to show more love to our feet by remembering a few simple things:
- Let them breathe. When you get home kick off those shoes and socks. Walking around barefoot let’s our feet breathe, strengthens the muscles in our feet, and improves our posture.
- Moisturize. If you can’t mousturize every day, try at least 3x a week. Keeping our feet moisturized eliminates dry-cracked heels, foot odor, and tiredness of the feet.
- Foot Massage. Sweet talk your kids, husband, boyfriend, best friend etc. into massaging your feet. If none of the above are available, then a rolling pin will work too. Massaging our feet for a few minutes each day helps relieve tension, stress, tiredness, and aches.
Life get’s crazy, so just do the best you can. Your feet, back, and mind will thank you.
