Prevent corns
Our foot is an engineering miracle and is one of the most abused parts of our body. According to the American Podiatric Medical Association, the average American walks 115,000 miles in a lifetime, a distance that would take you all the way around the earth four times. On an average day the feet are subject to a force that is many hundred tons. It is no wonder that an estimated 87% of American adults suffer from various foot ailments. Some of the common ones are corns and calluses. These are patches of skin under the feet that toughen to protect the parts of the soles that are most used to help form a barrier to the constant friction that those spots face.
There are two types of corns, the hard ones and the soft. Hard corns form on the top of the toes and sometimes on the outer sides where there is most friction between the foot and the shoe. Soft corns form between toes and are caused by friction between toes. There are many home treatments that you can follow to help prevent corns. Wear proper fitting shoes, keep your feet moisturized, trim your nails regularly and use toe separators. Soaking your feet and using a pumice stone to smoothen the skin will also help prevent corns.
