Take Care of Your Feet Often through Daily Habits

toenail fungus7The feet are one of the most overlooked parts of the body when it comes to one’s general health. With warmer temperatures approaching, the feet will undoubtedly become more exposed to dirt and sun while wearing open sandals. To take care of the feet, be sure to always include them while washing. After spending time outside, wash the feet and apply moisturizing lotion to keep them from becoming cracked. Those with especially cracked heels may benefit from applying a nourishing gel onto the heels before going to bed.

Every day foot care is very important, especially for those that are lacking the proper foot care resources. For more information about everyday foot care, see Dr. Jordan Rachlinof New York. Our doctor will treat your growing feet in addition to other podiatric-related needs.

Every Day Foot Care

Often, people take care of their bodies, face and hair more so than they do for their feet. But the feet are a very important aspect of our bodies, and one that we should pay more attention to. After all, without our feet, we would not be able to perform most daily tasks. It is best to check your feet regularly to make sure there are no new bruises or cuts that you may not have noticed before, for example.

For dry feet, moisturizer can easily be a remedy and can be applied as often as necessary to the affected areas. Wearing shoes that fit well can also help you maintain good foot health, as well as making it easier to walk and do daily activities without the stress or pain of ill-fitting shoes, high heels, or even flip flops.

Also, wearing clean socks with closed shoes is important to ensure that sweat and bacteria do not accumulate within the shoe. Clean socks help to prevent athlete’s foot, fungi problems, bad odors, and can absorb sweat.
