What heels are dangerous to health?
Osteopath doctor Vladimir Zhematov:
- The constant voltage of the calf muscles may affect the circulatory impairment and cause the enhancement of the varicose veins. If a woman has a violation of the posture (scoliosis), the available problems with the spine can be aggravated. Their availability is also evidenced by the appearance of a hopic, that is, the thickening of the skin on the foot.
High-heeled shoes cause an non-physiological shift of the center of gravity forward, which may violate the interconnection of parts of the body. As a result, to compensate for the load and maintain the balance, the body will be forced to change the position of almost all vertebrae, organs and bones. In some organs and muscles, the tension will increase, and in others, on the contrary, weakening. These changes will be chronic if the woman will wear high-heeled shoes daily. If the shoes are chosen correctly and has a small heel, in this case the support falls on the full foot and the load on organs and joints is distributed evenly.
High load, which, while walking at heels, falls on the front of the foot, almost always leads to the development of transverse flatfoot. There may also be an increase in bones on the foot.
Flat shoes can be no less harmful than high heels. It is absolutely not fixed on the foot. During walking, the leg is forced to constantly be in tension, holding the slippers by flexing the fingers. After a long wearing such shoes, painful sensations may occur. As a result, the tension can go to the legs, hips, lower back and neck, back pain, headaches. Ships and flip flops are great for those who do not plan to move over long distances.
What to do with pains in your feet?
Sitting on a chair, put the feet parallel to each other. Do not take off the heels from the floor, pull the socks up, feel the voltage in the legs. Then we assume socks into the floor and press. Relax, repeat the exercise several times.
Lying on the bed Put legs on a pillow or soft roller, give them a little sublimated position. Such a pose will make it easier to facilitate the outflow of venous blood.
Take the rolling pin, stand up and put it in front of yourself. Ride the rod feet on the floor. After performing the exercise, shake the legs in turn several times.
It helps to remove the tension in the legs dumping the feet with cold water, as well as massage.
How to choose shoes
Give preference to breathable natural materials. Artificial and polymeric materials are suitable only for flippers intended for the beach and swimming.
The best option is a stable heel in 2-3 cm, such a rise will even be useful for your foot. If you like high-heeled shoes, above 6 cm, it is not recommended to wear them longer than two hours a day. Summer open shoes should have straps and hold the sock and heel.
Choose models with soft and bending soles.
