Feet... They make their place quietly at the bottom of the legs, perpendicular to the body. Although they are rather unassuming, feet are vitally important for us humans who desire to remain upright!
Some people have strong feelings about feet, whether they love them or are a little repulsed by them.
But feet have a tendency to be underappreciated, so Feet Week is the ideal time to pay them a little more attention than usual.
With 26 bones, 33 joints and over 100 muscles, ligaments and tendons, your feet are incredibly complex. And they serve as the foundation for your entire body in terms of support, balance, posture, and overall well-being. You can experience pain in your knees, hips and lower back when you have ongoing foot problems.
Some trivia:
Feet contain ¼ of a million sweat glands.
Feet are largest at the end of the day.
Most people’s feet are not exactly the same size.
The feet are the most sensitive part of the body with over 8,000 nerves.
As stated before... Each foot has 26 bones in it, with the feet equalling almost ¼ of the bones of the whole body.
Loving the feet that keep you going is a great way to celebrate this week! 🎉Whether starting with a little foot rub or getting a full pedicure, Feet Week is the perfect time to keep those feet happy!
