Our well-being and our ability to work often depend on the health of our feet and the condition of our shoes. A healthy body needs the health of our feet! Why? To answer this question, it is necessary to at least briefly talk about the structure of the foot, its functions and features.
The structure of the foot is a complex organ: twenty-eight bones, connected to each other by means of ligaments, form joints. The smoothness of the gait is ensured by these numerous connections of the foot. This is also facilitated by the arched structure of the foot (which, by the way, is characteristic only for humans), reliably protects our body from shocks during walking, running, and jumping.
The foot has two longitudinal arches – lateral and medial, which acts as a kind of shock absorber. The lateral arch is also called supporting because it is the support for our whole body.
These vaults are connected by more than sixty ligaments, articular fascia and muscles. Also, muscles help the foot to withstand heavy loads. Their condition is crucial for the health of the foot and its functioning.
There are a lot of nerves and vessels in the foot, thanks to which we can feel pain, pressure, heat, cold. No wonder mothers and grandmothers often say: “Keep your feet warm.” One of the most important and effective ways to prevent colds in winter is to wear warm, comfortable shoes.
The anatomical and physiological structure of the human foot is extremely important for walking and standing. The function of the foot to perceive and transmit information to the brain about the surface on which a person is standing (for example, the hardness of the surface) plays a big role in the automatism of walking.
Therefore, it is necessary to wear shoes that should not only protect the feet from cold, heat, stones, but also contribute to improving the blood circulation of the feet.
Shoes should be comfortable, warm and not tight. Uncomfortable shoes can cause many foot and spine problems, including back and leg pain. If the shoes are tight, in addition to these problems, infectious diseases of the foot or nails, including fungal ones, may occur. In this case, it is necessary to use Nizoral Cream. This cream contains the active ingredient ketoconazole belongs to a class of antifungal antibiotics called imidazoles. The cream works by slowing the growth of fungi that is causing an infection.
People with diabetes are generally not allowed to wear uncomfortable tight shoes, as this can cause diabetic ulcers. Patients with diabetes have a high risk of ulcerations due to pressure, ischemia, venous hypertension or neuropathy which may lead to infections and serious complications. If the ulcer has already appeared, it is necessary to use Coresatin Nonsteroidal Cream. Once the cream is applied to the affected area, the special formula will form a film over the surface to prevent the evaporation of water. Keeping the moisture of the affected area will promote the healing process.
