Does cleaning your feet improve your health?!


Question: Does cleaning your feet improve your health?
I know, a weird question but I just bought a pumice stone and another foot scrubber thing and I've never scrubbed or cleaned my feet until now and I notice that I feel a lot better recently now that I scrub all the dirt and dead skin off my feet and let them soak in hot water. Am I just being silly or does cleaning your feet really make a difference in your mood/health?

Answers:

Honestly I think its pampering yourself thats having the biggest effects on you. I took reflexology years ago and I do know that if you put pressure on them by massaging or pressing in certain areas it certainly help. feet tend to accumulate a lot of toxins, but it beneath most of the skin. I have yet to run across studies on cleaning feet and overall health, but you never know.



Well If you have type 2 diabetes, You should really check you feet and make sure you don't have build up down there. This can cause Neuropathy, which can cause numbness and tingling in your feet. If you have a cut on your foot and let it go for a awhile, you could get gangrene. This causes the death of tissue in the foot, resulting in amputation. Your feet may not be this severe, but never take that chance. Soaking your foot in hot water can help the blood circulate faster, feeling more relaxed.

You feel better because you have beautiful feet. But the cleaning process has little to do with your overall health.



It all depends on your mind set
