9. Protect Your Feet from Heat Sources
Use your elbow to check water temperature, but not your foot; do this when testing the hotness of water you want to use to wash your feet. Avoid crossing your legs and don’t use heating pads, hot water bottles, electric blankets and other heat sources on your feet.
10. Improve Blood Flow & Circulation to Your Feet
Crossing your legs can impede blood flow to various parts of your body, hence must be avoided. Smoking can worsen your foot and leg problems, not to mention impeding blood circulation. Stop smoking to enable your blood to flow to various parts of your body, including feet.
Tightly fitting shoes don’t just cause ulcers, corns and calluses and nail problems, but also hamper proper blood circulation in your feet. Wear comfortable, well-fitting shoes for optimal blood flow and circulation.
