April is Foot Health Month

April is Foot Health Awareness Month
Did you know your feet carry you around 115,000 miles in your life? Keeping your feet healthy is important!
To keep your feet healthy:

 Look at your feet each day with a mirror. Check for peeling, dry skin, or cracks.
 Dry your feet and between your toes after you shower to help prevent infections. Then use a good lotion to moisturize your feet (but not between your toes).
 Don’t leave nail polish on all year. Especially if you are topically treating them for nail fungus.
 Stretch your feet, ankles, and legs regularly to keep your muscles strong.
 If you have diabetes (high blood sugar), see a foot doctor regularly.
 Be active and eat healthy foods. This can help you stay at a healthy weight. Being overweight can lead to foot problems.
 Make sure your shoes fit well! Wear shoes with a good support and a low heel. Limit how often you wear flats, sandals, or high heels. If you need more arch support, try inserts.
 Get new walking shoes every 6 months. If you run, get new shoes every 500 miles.
 Your feet get wider and longer as you get older. Have your feet measured every few years to make sure you’re wearing the right size.
 Don’t walk bare foot in public places. This can lead to an infection or warts.
 If you get a foot injury, go to a foot doctor. Not treating a foot injury can cause bigger problems.

Coconut - naturally anti-bacterial

Coconut oil has powerful anti-bacterial and antifungal properties, which means it may help fight bad breath and gingivitis. One study showed that swishing with coconut oil (aka oil pulling) for 10 minutes reduced bacteria in the mouth as well as antiseptic mouthwash; another found that daily coconut gargling can reduce inflammation and plaque in participants with gingivitis. Moisturizing skin Thanks to its fatty acids, coconut oil is very moisturizing, and it’s safe to use on your body and face for all skin types. It absorbs quickly and gives off a more glowy, dewy effect compared to traditional lotion. The pleasant tropical scent doesn’t hurt, either—you’ll be using it as lip balm before you know it! Keep in mind, coconut oil is comedogenic, so it's not recommended for acne-prone skin.
