Looking After Your Feet |

Walking is one of the most important ways of keeping active. Walking helps the muscles and ligaments in our feet to work more efficiently and helps keep them supple and flexible. Walking improves and maintain overall health, increases cardiovascular fitness, strengthen bones, reduce excess body fat, and boost muscle power and endurance.
We are encouraged to walk, because “Walking is a man's best medicine", according to Hippocrates – and a growing body of scientific evidence suggests he wasn't wrong.
For us to walk effectively, we need to look after our feet, and according to the College of Podiatrists we walk about 100,000 miles in a lifetime.

Stress is a conundrum. This is because it is not easy to pin down exactly what stress means. Most people represent ‘stress’ with situations that put them under pressure. For example, when we have lots to do and think about, or don't have much control over what happens to us, we say things like "this is stressful," or "I'm stressed". Also, our reaction to being placed under pressure – the feelings we get when we have demands placed on us that we find difficult to cope with, we also represent as stress”.
