A Daily Ritual for Healthy Feet

2008 is here and many people make New Year’s resolutions. These resolutions are good and can be a catalyst to a better life. So, let’s consider a New Year’s resolution that is not typically high on our list – our feet.
     Each morning before pulling on your socks, take a few seconds to run your hands over your feet to check for anything out of the ordinary. Ask yourself some questions:
•    Do I see any redness?
•    Are there any cracks or cuts in the skin?
•    Do my nails need trimming?
•    Is there are redness or tender areas at the nailbeds?
•    Do I see any scaly skin?
•    Does anything itch?
•    Do I have any old blisters that need attention?
•    Is there pain anywhere?
•    Do I have any callus buildup that needs attention?
•    Do I see any corns or plantar warts?
•    Does anything feel funny?
If any of the checks are positive, give your feet their needed attention. Not sure what they need? Check your copy of Fixing Your Feet for the answers. Don’t have a copy? Get one here at www.FixingYourFeet.com.
