Friday foot fact

Week 9

In this week's Friday foot fact, I'm talking about what our feet are designed to do: walk!

Did you know the average person walks the distance of going 3 times around the world in a lifetime? Women walk an average of 10 miles in a day meanwhile men will walk an average of 7 miles in a day. Our feet absorb 3 times your body weight while walking and some of us will inherit the way we walk. The name of the way you walk is called a gait. Our moods can affect our gait and so does a really bad pair of ill fitting shoes. Making sure you take care of your feet now can save you from future foot problems.

I hope this post, even though short and sweet, will have made you appreciate what your feet do for you. Don't take them for granted either, it's when we have problems with them that we realize the important tasks they perform in our day to day life.

Have a great weekend everyone!
