Foot care is an essential routine activity that should be done by all individuals to achieve optimum wellness. Our feet contribute an important role in our activities of daily living which generally involves standing, walking and moving around. The lower body extremities especially the feet appear to support the entire weight of a person bringing them to be the most overused part of the body. To help prevent damage and promote foot care, here are seven tips to promote foot health.

Inspect and palpate your feet regularly. Keeping track with your feet will help you notice any changes or foot irregularities when it suddenly differs in foot colour, thickness, temperature, skin turgor and note for cracks. Also check for the capilliary refill of your toenails that will indicate adequate blood oxygenation. Any growth or change on the foot is not considered normal and should be consulted to a physician.

Wash your feet on a daily basis making sure to clean and wash in between the toes. Wet skin is very vulnerable which is prone to cracking and lesions since the skin become inelastic. Make sure you let your feet completely dry by using a towel to prevent skin from impairment.

Trim and cut your toenails. Be careful not to overly trim your toenails to prevent from skin damage and injury. For ladies and lasses who enjoy pedicures and nail art, make sure not to prolong the nail paint over a week. Use a mild nail polish remover to completely cleanse the nail polish. Prolonged paint will cause the nails to be brittle and may lead to certain foot problems.

Select the appropriate shoe and shoe size for your feet. When buying a new pair of shoes, consider and prioritize the comfort it will bring your feet and not after the shoe style. The best time for shoe fitting is during the day when the feet are at its largest.

As much as possible, avoid walking and running barefooted at your home. Walking barefooted may lead to an incident that may impair and aggravate the condition of your feet. It is best advised and wise to put on your slippers even at home to prevent any possible accident.

After a long stand, walk, run, a tiring and stressful day at work, lifting your legs against the wall will benefit your foot and legs venous return which promotes blood circulation. It is said that promoting venous return can aid in preventing formation of blood clots and plaques in the feet due prolonged standing, blood pooling and inadequate circulation.

Lastly, never disregard any foot or ankle pain even though you have a strong pain threshold and tolerance. Any pain connotes that there is an inflammation or any underlying cause within. It is better to consult your doctor or a podiatric physician to help diagnose and treat the pain.

For diagnosed type one or type two diabetes, caring for your feet plays a major role in maintaining your health. Foot lesions and wounds are the common cause of leg amputation for diabetic people. Make sure to routinely check and do foot care as recommended to prevent amputation from happening.

Pure essential oils have a wide range of therapeutic uses and benefits. The method applied can affect the results. In this article I will talk about methods of using aromatherapy for general all purpose cleaning.

First, please remember that essential oils should never be applied neat (undiluted) to your skin. There are absolutely NO exceptions to this! This includes the soles of your feet or palms of your hands. When using oils neat for inhalation purposes please exercise care and dispense your oils on a tissue or cotton ball for direct inhalation.

GUIDE FOR YOUR GENERAL ALL PURPOSE CLEANING:

Adding essential oils known for their antibacterial and antiviral powers to your dishpan or scrub bucket will kill germs and leave your home and living environments smelling clean and fresh!

Obesity has only become widespread in the years following the industrial revolution. It was the changes in life style made possible by the high factory wages, job security and a more sedentary working environment along an assembly line, which made this trend possible. Before the middle class was born and bred with the benefits that the new machine manufacturing based economy provided, obesity was rare.

For the most part, before the industrialized middle class was brought about, only rich people had the money, leisure time and excess amount of food required to become obese. There may have been a few cases where a person’s metabolism and heredity helped them to become plump, but they still needed enough food or calories to become obese.

My mother’s family had a history of obesity. My grandmother was not obese, but some of her siblings were. My grandfather on my mother’s side had a large frame, as did my mother, so I assume that I may have the predisposition toward obesity.

On reaching middle age, the body’s metabolism slows down some. That is one reason why I make a daily effort to get some exercise. I don’t do strenuous levels of exercise but every day I walk the dog during daylight hours for 45 minutes to an hour. Then later in the evening, I repeat this routine. Both the dog and I enjoy this outing twice a day. She has come to expect her daily outings. Doing this raises my metabolism, which should burn some calories and possibly slow the onset of obesity. With regular exercise, I don’t worry too much about what I eat.

Going back to the first point made about widespread obesity, being a fairly recent trend. What if this is not really a trend in history. Perhaps it could be an anomaly in history. There is a chance with the move away from the industrial society in North America, that the force which created the middle class affluent generation will disappear, and along with it its wealth. More companies are outsourcing their labour and some are just plain relocating to third world countries, where the labour is dramatically cheaper. In a real way, the good industrial jobs are disappearing in North America.

What if the trend is more toward low paid service jobs? Would an economy mainly based on such low paid jobs be self sustainable enough to maintain a large number of middle class people, the way the industrial based one of the recent past has? Perhaps the next trend will be a return to the economic levels, of the pre industrial revolution time when obesity was uncommon. Perhaps a few extra pounds are ok, even desirable. It is nature’s way of protecting us against hard times that allows fat to build up in our bodies. Perhaps nature knows best. If there was a sudden food production or distribution disaster, it would be the obese people who would have the advantage. In a world where food was in short supply, having a few extra pounds on your body could better your chance of survival.
