The Importance of Foot Health Awareness |
|||||
With 26 bones, 33 joints and more than 100 tendons, muscles and ligaments, feet
are the most integral and vulnerable part of the body. Most people are unaware
of the toll that regular, day-to-day activities take on their feet. Walking puts up
to 1.5 times your bodyweight on your feet, your feet log approximately 1,000
miles per year, and feet cushion up to one million pounds of pressure during one
hour of strenuous exercise. It’s no wonder foot ailments are among the most
common health problems. |
|||||
Every year more than 14.2 million people visit physicians with foot, toe and ankle
problems. Although some of these issues can be traced to heredity, many stem
from a lifetime of neglect and abuse. Studies show that 75 percent of Americans
experience serious foot problems at some time in their lives, but only a fraction seek
medical treatment. Paying more attention to your feet can not only prevent painful
foot ailments, but stave-off more serious health issues. |

proper foot care. If you aren’t already "foot health aware" Microplane® Personal
