Hair It Is!
FOOT FACT:
Hair on top of your feet and (dare I say) toes is actually a good thing. That’s right!...it indicates good blood flow to your legs and feet. An absence or loss of hair on those “10 lil piggies” could be a sign of poor circulation. Blood carries nutrients to your hair follicles allowing them to grow and flourish. Lack of blood flow means lack of hair. In other words, the heart loses the ability to pump enough blood to you feet due to blocked arteries. Diabetics, smokers, and those with a history of heart conditions should especially take note!

Swell No!!
FOOT FACT:
Listen up diabetics and the elderly!! Teeth-chattering cold temps during the winter months can often result in a drop in our activity levels. These factors can contribute to reduced blood circulation (especially in our legs & feet), leading to increased swelling of the ankles & feet. It is always important to maintain a healthy, routine activity level year-round. Cabin fever? Just say NO!!
