Taking care of your feet can have positive effects on your well-being and daily activities. It is not complicated to practice good foot care. Choose appropriate shoes for different activities, focusing on support and cushioning. Replace shoes that are worn out and limit the frequency of wearing high heels. Avoiding walking barefoot on hard surfaces can help to prevent discomfort. Bringing personal pedicure tools to pedicure appointments can reduce the risk of infections. It is beneficial to practice yoga poses that can stretch and keep your feet flexible. Massaging your feet can improve blood flow and reduce tension.
