Handy Tips For Foot Care


By enrique at 2011-02-24 05:18:56
There is an increase in Americans experiencing common foot problems and several serious foot conditions daily. The American Podiatric Medical Association conducted a study and revealed surprising results. It conveyed that, nearly 75% of Americans are suffering from some type of foot problems in their lives. Many foot-related problems are developed from abuse, and some are caused by inherent malformations and disabilities.

There are many issues that may occur with your feet that can cause a lot of pain and slow you down. Some of these include: fungal infections, dry skin, warts, corns and calluses, bunions, ingrown toenails, ulcers, heel spurs, etc.... Other problems that can be difficult to relieve without treatment include: plantar fasciitis, flat feet, hammertoes, claw toes Morton's neuroma, metatarsalgia, and more... If you are experiencing pain in your feet, the first step in your footcare routine is to see your doctor.

Diabetic foot cream - Healthy and soft skin resists infection in your feet. Dry skin, on the other hand, leads to cracks that make your feet more vulnerable to infection. A good diabetic cream may help moisturize areas that are especially dry. A word of caution when using these creams: avoid putting cream or oil between your toes. This often leads to infection and complications.

Use of front loading machines and alternate cycles of warm and cold water is recommended for washing sleeping bags; top loading variety may adversely affect its material. Two or more rinses should prove adequate for ridding the bag of any soap sediments and this is important to ensure as a fibers can be ruined if soap remains.

Now, lets see what are the constituents of a foot care kit. An anti-fungal cream is included with every kit to prevent the growth of fungi and bacteria and also cracks and blisters are kept at bay by keeping the skin smooth and soft. Pumice stone, which is widely used to soften feet, accompanies the diabetic foot care kit. A magnifying glass and a mirror for enhanced foot care are also supplied along with this kit. Other than these diabetic medical supplies, a pair of socks and shoes are provided as the risk of infection and injuries are high when being bare footed.

Firstly gentle move the ankle side to side to loosen the ankle joint. Hold the heel of the foot in a cupping motion and hold the ball of the foot with the other hand. Rotate the foot clockwise and anticlockwise three or four times to relax the foot from the ankle joint, reversing the directions will calm and destress your senses.

The skin on your feet needs nourishment just like the skin on other parts of your body. Use a good quality foot hydrating cream immediately after you bathe. You cannot go wrong if you use one that contains natural ingredients such as cocoa butter, coconut oil or shea butter.

Taking care of your hands when you are young, can delay hand and feet aging. Many people develop arthritis and stuffness in their hands in older years and taking good care of them with massage and good products can greatly improve this. Watching your diet can have a direct effect on your nails and their general well-being. Nails that are soft and flaky, could be the result of a missing vitamin in your diet. Taking an OTC nail supplement can help in strenthening your nails.
