It starts from the bottom up.

foot
I have to confess that my feet have taken more abuse than any other part of my body.

Yet as much as we trust and need those appendages, it is amazing how little effort we put into keeping them healthy.

You take the balance, flexibility and adjustability of you feet for granted; until that day they start to fail.

I wanted to start a blog on just the simple thinking of feet health. I don't know how many people will have to wait until they have trouble as a biped, before taking the time to actually read this information, but at least it will be available.

A fun fact to consider about your feet.

When a person weighing 150 pounds jogs three miles, the cumulative impact on each foot is greater than 150 tons.

You have approximately six inches by nine inches, or 54 square inches, supporting up to two hundred pounds that must flex and move in such a way as to propel that weight and balance that weight from falling over.

The worse circulation for healing and building cell structure in your body, is in your feet.

Some of the smallest frailest bones in your body are in your feet.

Feet have it tough. Yet we are completely dependent on them for most of the things we do in life.

With all of this in mind, let's take some time for our feet.
