Foot Health
It is important to stay healthy from head
to toe, including your feet. There are 26
bones and 33 joints in your foot and ankle,
making the possibility for issues very high.
From sprains and fractures, to ingrown
toenails, bunions, corns, and athlete’s foot,
we may find ourselves hiding our foot
problems in a pair of shoes. But overlooking
foot health can lead to greater problems if
left untreated. Taking a few simple steps to
ensure foot health is easy to do:
Keep feet clean and dry.
Make sure to trim toenails regularly
and straight across.
u Wear shoes that fit properly.
u Don’t ignore discolored or cracking
toenails.
u Wear shoes in public places to avoid
fungal infections.

Overall Health
Overall health and well-being starts
from the inside out. Begin by providing
your body with the nutrients it needs
to work properly. You will have more
energy and feel better every single day that
you eat healthy, nutritious foods, drink
plenty of water, and get in some exercise.
While physical wellness is crucial for a
healthy life, it is important not to overlook
mental wellness. This includes emotional,
psychological, and social well-being. Mental
health is important throughout all stages
of life from childhood to adulthood. While
good physical health directly affects mental
health, you should care for your mental
health in different ways.
Love yourself and treat yourself with
kindness and respect.
u Surround yourself with people who
make you happy.
u Meditate and/or pray to provide
yourself with time to silently reflect on
all of the positive aspects of life.
u Try something new to break away from
the daily grind. u Get help when you
feel like you cannot help yourself. n
