FUN FOOT FACT FRIDAY: HOLIDAY BEHAVIOR EFFECTS ON FEET! (Tune in every Friday for a Fun Fact about The Amazing Foot!) (All of these are from the article Five Tips for Healthy Holiday Feet by The American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons.) **Narrow shoes, overly-high-heeled ones or shoes that aren’t worn very often, such as dress shoes, can irritate feet and lead to blisters, calluses, swelling and even severe ankle injuries. **Certain foods and beverages high in purines, such as shellfish, red meat, red wine and beer can trigger extremely painful gout attacks, a condition when uric acid builds up and crystallizes in and around your joints. **Nail salons can be a breeding ground for bacteria, including MRSA. **Watch for ice or snow patches along your trail! The ankle joint can be more vulnerable to serious injury from falling on ice. Ice accelerates the fall and often causes more severe trauma, because the foot can move in any direction after it slips. Listen to your feet! If pain starts to ruin your holiday fun, schedule a RELAXING, REJUVENATING, DETOXIFYING, AND PAIN RELIEVING Reflexology session!!
