Your feet are the foundation of your body, carrying you through daily activities and providing support and balance. Proper foot care is essential for overall health and well-being. To take care of your feet, start with regular hygiene: wash them daily with soap and water, and dry them thoroughly, especially between the toes. Moisturize to prevent dryness and cracking, but avoid the spaces between the toes to prevent fungal infections. Trim toenails straight across and gently file the edges to prevent ingrown nails. Wear well-fitted, comfortable shoes that provide adequate support and avoid high heels and tight shoes to prevent blisters and deformities.
