Feet demand special atiention

WITH THE arval of winter,
your feet will spend most of their
time encased in boois where
they'll be feeling decidedly stutted
and cramped. In fact, they’ rate:
ly see the light of day until next
April.

A little extra attention to your
feet can make a lot of difference
in keeping them soft and limber
over the winter monihs.

Fascinating facts

@ The body's thickest skin is
found on the palms ef the hands
and soles of the feet.

@ There are approximately 62,500
sweat glands in each foot.

@ When standing in bare feet.
75% of the body weight rests on
the heels, and 25% on the front

Helpful hints

To soften dead skin which can
form callouses. add a drop of
bath off to a basin of warm water
and soak feet for 10 minutes while
reading or watching television.

Then, with a soft towel, dry
feet vigorously to improve circula-
tion and gently exfoliate feet.

Gently massage feet and toes to
work out any cramps, improve
circulation and revitalize tired
fect. Beginning at the heel, con-
iinue along the arch to the ball of
the foot and finish by gently mas-
saging each toe individually.

For a moisturizing massage, add
a dab of moisturizing lotion as
you massage the foot.

For an effective overnight
moisturizing treatment, liberally
apply lotion to feet and slip on
some cotton socks while you
sleep.

When your feet are feeling tired
and achy, slightly clevate them
whenever possible. This wiil help
to reduce any swelling, as well as
improve circulation.

Gentie foot fortifiers

To work the tendons on the top
and bottom of the foot, try pick-
ing up some marbles, or scrunch a
towel on the floor.

To stretch out the toes, gently
use the muscles to spread them
apart and pull them together.

Gently rotating ankles works
the tendons and muscles in the
ankle area.

When old-fashioned glass cola
botties were stili around, profes-
sional dancers worked out tired
muscles by gently rolling the bot-
tle under the ball of the foot on
the floor.

More sophisticated wooden ver-
sions now exist — serving the
same end, and are usually sold in
health food and specialty stores.
