Are your feet Summer Ready?

This month, I’m thinking all about weddings as I recently attended my niece’s in Sweden. It was lovely, and being ‘forced’ into actually taking a well earned break (I am sure that resonates with all you busy busy people out there), I treated myself to a spa day- even Chiropodists’ feet can always benefit from some extra TLC!

Feet Deserve Care Too

Restorative for mind, body and soul, I can still visualise the wise words on a poster above their foot spa: “Your feet deserve some extra loving care”. Hidden away in shoes most of the time, we take these workhorses for granted until issues arise- often long after they could have been easily prevented.

Slipping Into Summer

Slipping into summer sandals, flip flops, or strappy wedding and celebration shoes, no-one wants to see a pile of blisters or unsightly corn plasters! While certain conditions should be treated by a registered chiropodist, common issues like hard skin can easily be treated at home with a simple footcare regime.

Avoiding Type 2 Diabetes

Prevention is always better than cure- especially as diabetes can only be managed, not cured. Type 1 diabetes, an autoimmune condition, currently can’t be prevented, but adopting simple healthy lifestyle changes can reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes by up to 50%. Eating more healthily, losing weight if needed, and being active supports your body effectively managing blood sugar levels, preventinginsulin resistance, which can lead to type 2 diabetes. There’s lots of information, help and support available at reputable sites like www.diabetes.org.uk and www.nhs.uk/conditions/diabetes/.

Finally, due to a delay from the utilities companies we won’t be practising from Carnforth Central just yet. So, for the foreseeable, call me on 07725 300290 to make an appointment which will take place at Nether Kellet.

Thanks

All best, Carol x
