Keep Both Feet on the Ground

Wear and tear on your feet can be a significant health problem we don’t often think of. Practice good foot care. Check your feet regularly or have a member of your family check your feet. Wear comfortable shoes that fit properly. Put your feet up when sitting for long period of time. Keep your toenails trimmed and don’t smoke! By doing these simple things you will be a step ahead of the rest.  

Health Statistic: More than 43.1 million Americans have trouble with their feet, mostly from improper-fitting shoes. A huge public health risk, foot problems cost the U.S $3.5 billion a year. ( American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons)
