Foot Health Tips

• Don’t ignore foot pain. Foot pain is unlikely to just go away and it can get worse if it is left untreated.

• Wash your feet thoroughly and regularly. Wash them, dry them and moisturize them.

• Trim toe nails regularly. You will want to trim your toenails regularly, but you don’t want to cut them too short. Cutting nails too short can cause ingrown toenails.

• People with diabetes, poor circulation or heart conditions should not treat their own feet because they may be risking their health. Consult your doctor.

• Don’t buy shoes if they are too tight. Shoes that are too tight can promote bad blood circulation and can actually cause blood clots.

• You don’t want to wear the same shoes every day. This can be bad for your feet.

• Wear shoes that are appropriate for the activity you are engaging in.

• Only walk around barefoot in your own house. Walking around barefoot can cause you to step on sharp object or pick up bacteria.
