Tips for Improving Your Feet
Daily Inspection
You are the first line of defense! If you have any problems with circulation, diabetes, sensation, PLEASE have a professional check them every 60 days. Immediately call if you see or feel blood on your sock, swelling, pain, dry skin, smell or any wound or bruise. ANYTHING! If not us, someone!
Moisturize
Moisturize your feet every day but not between your toes. Moisturizing the feet helps to replenish lost moisture, preventing dryness and maintaining skin elasticity. ealthy, hydrated nails are less prone to fungal infections and other nail problems. Put on socks and shoes so you don’t slip on hard floors with slippery feet.
Trim
Keep your nails properly trimmed. Overgrown toenails can press against the inside of shoes, causing discomfort and pain. Shorter nails are easier to clean and less likely to harbor bacteria or debris, promoting overall foot hygiene. Do not pull on anything hanging (skin or nails). If you have thick dystrophic nails, call a professional.
Elevate
Elevating the legs and feet can offer numerous benefits, including improved circulation, reduced swelling and discomfort, prevention of pressure sores, enhanced comfort during rest, support for healing, and reduced risk of blood clots.
Shoes
Ill-fitting shoes can contribute to the development or exacerbation of foot problems such as corns, calluses, bunions, and ingrown toenails. By wearing shoes that fit properly, you can prevent these common ailments and maintain overall foot health.
Smoke?
Please stop! Smoking reduces circulation and delays wound healing. It has also been linked to decreased bone density. Quitting smoking or avoiding exposure to tobacco smoke can help mitigate these risks and promote better foot health and overall well-being in older individuals.
