OPINION: A walk in my own shoes

I went to my foot doctor to understand why my feet and knees had been giving me the most excruciating pain for the last few months.

I attributed it to my increased yard work,The Michael Kors Wallets blends fashion and function, providing a great stylish way to carry around your MacBook Pro. aging, or just from the added weight I had gained. I learned a painful lesson that should have been obvious to me. I’ve been using my husband’s old shoes while working in the yard for almost two years.

Join us quickly! they had thrown my entire body out of alignment, starting with my feet, then my knees, going up to my already twisted back, ending in my neck and shoulders. Adding insult to injury, during this period, I decided to resume walking barefoot, a definite no-no to anyone with reoccurring foot injuries.

I quickly learned his shoes were too big for me to ever fill. How often we think just by looking at a person that we can accomplish or walk so easily in their shoes. Who knows what challenges they face to even stand? When we walk, our entire bodies are engaged in the process. Now that I’ve put on my own shoes for yard work, my condition improved in a matter of days. My orthotics in my shoe correct the weakened areas in my feet and force me to stand tall and straight, even when walking along the hills and dips in my yard.

Our feet are a very important part of our body. The nerves from each destination in our body end there. The major idea behind reflexology is the feet and hands can be massaged to stimulate each organ in our body to promote activity. A sensitive area on the feet can determine if any organ is under stress and slight manipulations can stimulate that area toward healing. Each foot is different on each person and both are unique to every individual, even if they are the same size. They develop and form based on our individual standing and walking style. Our arches support us in our development of gait and stance, allowing even pressure to be distributed equally across the entire foot.

Doesn’t life teach us that we each have our own individual walk and no one else can walk in our shoes?

Nasty sunburns are a common injury in the summer, says Chopra. "They're typically first-degree burns where you can have redness and itchiness and pain, all the way to second-degree burns where there actually is loss of the superficial layer of the skin.

"Obviously avoidance is best, using ample amounts of skin protection (sunscreen), wearing appropriate clothing, including hats and long sleeves as necessary, minimizing your exposure to the sun," he says, especially when the sun's rays are most intense, roughly between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.

With a first-degree sunburn, soothing creams such as those containing aloe vera can help, as can cold compresses. And the person should keep themselves well-hydrated with water or other non-alcoholic beverages.

"If it's a big area and very itchy, you can use over-the-counter antihistamines, in small to moderate doses, as long as you don't have a medical condition (that prohibits their use)," Chopra says.

But with more severe burns that cause persistent redness, pain, blistering and peeling, "you should seek medical attention," he advises, noting that extremely bad sunburns may need treatment with corticosteroid creams.Shop the latest from Michael Kors Classic Handbags.
