Along with the new year comes new year’s resolutions. Among the popular ones are losing weight, exercising, starting a new hobby, quitting smoking or drinking, getting stuff organized, and taking better care of the body among a few. Our feet deserve no less. This year, it is best to pay attention to the feet to prevent major problems in the future.
- Avoid foot injury. Stretching and warming up before you exercise can prevent potential foot problems.
- Comfort should be right up there with aesthetics when buying shoes. Skip high heels that usually put pressure on the feet. Flip flops and other shoes that do not offer proper support should also be traded for footwear that offer support.
- Match your shoes with activity. Stop wearing the wrong shoes.
- Resolve to inspect your feet daily.
- Maintain good foot hygiene.
- Visit your podiatrist for any foot or ankle issue. Foot pain should be addressed as soon as possible.As the new year begins, so should you begin taking better care of your feet.
