April is National Foot Health Awareness Month and a reminder that we should take due care of our feet!

Did you know that approximately 20% of Americans experience problems with at least one foot each year? Despite feet being an integral part of our body, foot pain, soreness, and ulcers are some of the last things to be referred to a physician. The American Podiatric Medical Association (A.P.M.A.) aims to change this and since its inception in 1912, it has been dedicated to raising awareness about the various aspects of foot health, with a sharp focus on how we can ensure maximum support for our sensitive feet.

Understanding the value of healthy feet is essential. It’s important to check them regularly for abnormalities such as sores, cuts, or infections. This April, pledge to keep your feet happy and healthy as part of your daily routine. After inspection, it is recommended that you wash your feet with warm water. At the end of a long day, it is a good idea to wash your legs and apply fast-absorbing lotion on the top and undersides of your feet before you climb into bed. Other advice includes regular nail trimming, wearing socks with shoes, and avoiding wearing high heels for longer than four hours at a stretch.

Spring is almost here!

Step into spring with these 9 tips:

*Cleanse Daily: Wash your feet each day with water and soap and dry them gently, being sure to dry completely between your toes.

*Enjoy in an Indulging Soak. Immerse your feet in warm water with oils, Epsom salts, or herbal soaks for at least 10 minutes.

*Eliminate the Skin Buildup: Use a foot file or pumice stone with gentle movements to remove thickened, dead skin buildup on the heels, balls, and sides of your feet.

*Lock the Softness In: Seal in moisture by wearing cotton-poly blend socks whenever you’re relaxing or sleeping.

*Trim Those Toenails: Using a straight-edged clipper, trim your nails so they are even with the end of the toes to ensure that nails aren’t rounded in the corners. If trimmed incorrectly, ingrown toenails can develop.

*Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate: Apply emollient-rich lotion all over your feet to nurture the skin. Remove excess lotion between your toes as this can cause athlete’s feet to develop.

*Footwear First: Take a look at your warm-weather footwear and get rid of any that have excessive wear.

*Exfoliate: Remove dry, winter skin all over your feet using an exfoliating scrub.

*Schedule a Visit With Your Podiatrist: If any nail or skin issues exist, see a podiatrist for a checkup.
