5 FUN THINGS TO DO FOR YOUR FEET TODAY!
Click here for idea number 1.
WALK ON STONES AND GRASS
When you walk on flat surfaces, you use only 3-4 joints instead of the 33 joints available in the foot!
Try some stones in your hallway – on the most used part of the house – you’ll then get some foot conditioning every time you pass by.
DITCH YOUR JANDLES
Jandles require your big and second toe to squeeze the rubber piece between them => leading to bunions!
SWAP YOUR SLIPPERS
Slippers =>squeezing toes => bunions (again!) AND shuffling => tight hips.
CRACKED HEELS?
Transition slowly to natural surfaces in order to toughen up the skin.
SWAP YOUR HEELS FOR MINIMAL FOOTWEAR – BOYS AND GIRLS!
A heeled shoe (and that’s most males’ shoes as well) => leaning forward => throwing your hips forward => over squeezing your bottom => tight neck => headaches….. and that’s just one day of wearing them! The body compensates by shortening muscles and lengthening others (not good lengthening like stretching) which overtime leads to back pain, bunions, plantar fasciitis, neck pain etc etc etc. I could go on!
Look at the calf – see how it’s naturally shortened with the lift of the heel?
I’ve never been able to wear high heels (not enough vain to overcome the pain!) but I’ve wanted to, ‘cos I need the height & I think they look good on other women. Why is it that so many things we perceive as attractive or delicious are bad for our posture or our health?
The shoe-makers will go broke if we all start getting around in our bare feet; can’t have that, can we?
I promise I’ll go stone-hunting soon!
