We ask a lot of our feet. We expect to be able to stand on them all day, cram them into tight shoes and sweaty boots, even run or walk for miles on them. We often don’t pay them any attention until something goes wrong — an achy joint, an ingrown nail, or maddening athlete’s foot. It’s time we paid attention to our tootsies before trouble starts.
1. Baby your feet
Putting your dogs up when you’re seated will help improve circulation. If you’re sitting for a long time, occasionally stand and move around. Walking, stretching, and massage also will help boost blood flow. A warm foot bath will make your feet feel fabulous. Just be sure to dry them off thoroughly before stepping into shoes to avoid excess moisture.
