Foot Care Friday: WHAT SHOULD YOU LOOK FOR IN PLANTAR FASCIITIS SHOE. Follow these simple guidelines:... Wear orthopedic shoes indoors that are new or that are in good condition (not showing signs of wear and tear) Shoes for this condition need to be fitted correctly. Shoes that are too short or too tight can affect the big toe joint function, which in turn, damages the fascia. Overpronation can also damage the fascia. LOOK FOR THE FOLLOWING FEATURES: Arch Support: the footbed should be an orthotic or orthopedic insole with a defined arch. Deep Heel Cup: to cradle the heel, to provide cushioning and reduce impacts. Cushioned Footbed: should be constructed of several layers of various materials that disperse shock forces from heel to toe. Extra Depth: to provide ample space for the foot and to create a pressure-free environment for the foot. Wide & Round Toe Box: look for a forefoot that is round in shape and wide to prevent toes from being squeezed. Ergonomic Sole: to reduce the force on the heel and to limit ankle and midfoot motion during walking. Durable Outsole: provides support and protection indoors, but also designed for a variety of everyday surfaces, including outside. Upper Material: should be made with stretch fabric and soft leathers to provide optimal support and protection.

Benefits of Himalayan Salt There are many health benefits of Himalayan salt therapy (known as halotherapy), and these benefits are backed by randomized, controlled, statistically significant evidence that exists and has been published in various medical journals over the last two decades. Benefits include improvements for colds and flu, asthma, COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), emphysema, chronic bronchitis, cystic fibrosis, psoriasis, eczema and various other ski...n conditions, as well as a measurable boost to the immune system. Clinical Evidence for Salt Lamps The results of one 2010 study by the Neurochemistry and Biochemical Neuropharmacology Research Unit in Pakistan claims that, in animals, exposure to a salt lamp for 14 weeks improved tryptophan and serotonin metabolism, leading to an antidepressant effect. The chemicals tryptophan and serotonin help regulate mood in the body. The study above states: For centuries people have known the ability of salt rock crystal to improve air qualities by enriching it with negative ions. Salt lamps are thought to be a good source of negative ions. In view of the claim of the salt lamp sellers regarding its beneficial effects the neurochemical study was an extension of the behavioral study conducted in rats. Test animals were exposed to salt lamp for 14 weeks. And concludes: neurochemical analysis showed that brain tryptophan and 5-HT metabolism were increased after salt lamp exposure. The results are discussed in relevance to its antidepressant effects and other behavioral activities monitored previously. We have lamps, baskets, globes, night lights and more!
