Our feet are no doubt one of the most important and most used parts of our body. Feet should be taken care of daily to prevent the onset of diseases like bunions and arthritis as we age. Simple steps like exercising often and wearing comfortable shoes can help protect our feet. Wash your feet regularly and moisturize, but avoid the areas in between your toes. Inspect your feet daily to make sure that they are good condition. See your podiatrist at least once a year to ensure that your feet are in proper health.

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.
