Thu, 1 Feb 2024

"Hey, #PramitaFriends! I'm sure you've often seen stylish women wearing high heels around us, right? High heels can indeed make us look elegant and boost our confidence. However, wearing them too frequently can have negative impacts on our body's health.

 

When wearing high heels, the body shifts forward, putting more pressure on the hip joints, knees, and front of the feet. This forces the body to adjust its posture to maintain balance, which over time can negatively affect posture and overall health.

 

Here are 9 risks that may occur due to excessive use of high heels:

 

Osteoarthritis: Increases the risk of osteoarthritis due to repeated pressure on joints that can cause inflammation and pain.

Achilles tendinitis: Causes inflammation in the Achilles tendon due to repetitive use, leading to tendinitis.

Metatarsalgia: Excessive pressure on the balls of your feet resulting in pain in that area.

Sciatica: Pinched sciatic nerve due to excess pressure on the hips and buttocks causing pain from back down through leg.

Plantar fasciitis: Inflammation of tissues underfoot called plantar fascia results in heel pain.

Foot Deformities: Alters foot shape such as toe deformities or developing bunions at base of big toe

Stress Fractures: Constant pressure on foot bones causes micro-cracks or stress fractures

Ankle Injuries: Sharp heels increase risk of falls& ankle injuries 

Lower Back Pain : Changes spine alignment & leads To lower-back ache

 

To avoid these risks follow these tips:

Choose shoes with lower heels especially for everyday wear.

Alternate between wearing high-heeled shoes and more comfortable footwear.

Avoid pointed-toe shoes or excessively tight-fitting ones

Regularly stretch your feet muscles & tendons 

Remember it's important take care both  looks & our body's well-being So follow above -mentioned tips to stay stylish without damaging our health. Hope this article is useful!
