Our feet suffer a lot during the winter. They are compressed for long months in city shoes, heels and boots. We must therefore take the time to give a little love to our feet . Here are our tips : 1. Massage your feet: after a long day at the office, massaging will stimulate blood circulation, relieve stress and increase your energy for the rest of the day. ... 2. Take foot baths: treat yourself to hot water baths if you have poor circulation, cold feet or perspiration problems. Treat yourself to a cold water bath if you have difficulty sleeping, sore feet and blisters easily. 3. Visit your podiatrist: your feet are an important part of your body, although they are often forgotten. It is therefore essential to take care of them.

Do you notice sores on your feet that don't heal? This could be a sign of diabetes. Uncontrolled blood glucose levels damage nerves and cause poor circulation, so blood doesn't get to your feet. When blood doesn't get to an injury caused, for example, by rubbing shoes, the skin doesn't heal properly. Many diabetics are diagnosed with foot problems. Other symptoms of diabetes are tingling or numbness in the feet.... Ask your doctor for a blood glucose test.

What is the role of the foot in your opinion? Find the intruder among the following choices: Cushioning... Station Propulsion . . . . If you chose the station as the answer, you are absolutely right. Indeed, the foot mainly performs these two functions: - Cushioning: it cushions the weight of the body which is distributed on the sole of the foot thanks to the arches. - Propulsion: by using the arches of the foot as a springboard, the foot propels the body forward during walking or running. Station (standing position) is provided by the leg, back and neck muscles.

Notice any hairless toes? You could have arterial disease. If the hair on your toes suddenly disappear, it could indicate poor circulation caused by peripheral artery disease (PAD). Symptoms are decreased hair growth on the feet and ankles, purplish toes, and thin or shiny skin. PAD, a build-up of plaque in the leg arteries, affects an estimate of 8 million Americans. The symptoms are hardly noticeable, but doctors can detect it by taking the pulse in the foot pad or by a stain on an X-ray.
