To celebrate One Day Without Shoes, which encourages people to go barefoot to highlight the need for better footwear in developing countries, we look at some top pieces of trivia about those most lowly of bodily parts – the feet!
Fact #1
During a lifetime, a human being will walk around 185,000 km, which is enough to circle the earth four times! This averages out at 10,000 steps a day.
Of course, some people will walk greater distances that others. Many women in Africa, for example, must walk more than 6 km a day – barefoot – just to get water.
Fact #2
Despite being relatively small in themselves, feet account for a massive 25% of the number of bones in a human body.
A foot contains 26 bones, 33 joints, 107 ligaments and 19 muscles. There’s plenty to go wrong if they aren’t adequately protected.
Fact #3
In the animal kingdom, feet aren’t just used for walking and standing. Butterflies taste with their feet, elephants hear through their feet (by picking up vibrations from the ground), and gannets incubate eggs beneath their webbed feet.
Fact #4
Squirrels and dogs are known to have extremely sweaty feet. Their sweat glands are located between their footpads and toes meaning that if they get hot or excited, the tracks they leave are wet. This foot sweat is also used to mark out territory.
Fact #5
There are around 250,000 sweat glands in a pair of human feet. These can produce up to half a pint (200 ml) of sweat a day.
Fact #6
When running, the pressure on feet can be up to four times the runner’s body weight.
Fact #7
Fingernails and toenails grow more rapidly in warm weather, as well as during pregnancy and adolescence.
Fact #8
As many as nine in every ten women in the developed world wear shoes that are too small for them.
Fact #9
Statistically, women have four times as many foot problems as men, with high heels partly to blame.
Fact #10
Even though shoes can because you foot trouble, be extra careful when going barefoot. Places such as communal showers can be a hotbed of nasty diseases such as athlete’s foot, plantar warts and ringworm.
In developing countries, a lack of shoes can leave people vulnerable to all manner of soil-transmitted diseases and parasites, from hookworm and jiggers to podoconiosis and the potentially fatal tetanus.

Mostly we have set their hands and hence the nails, water, detergents, cleaning supplies many of them are not good for their chemicals, and all these products that help nails will ruin us, starting, scales with frequent use.
It is also difficult for many of us stop using them, because as a result we should stop washing, cleaning, but we can start taking habits to improve the appearance of our hands and nails.
It is very important to wear them right because they are vital to a good presence.
But not just a cosmetic problem, depending on the condition of the nails can detect problems in our body, lack of protein and minerals in the diet, lack of calcium, hormonal problems, among other things, so it is recommended that care so much health of them and to maintain its beauty.
As mentioned the lack of calcium, iron is usually felt in the nails are weaker, they are composed of protein, so it is good to add to the daily diet protein, minerals and vitamins.
When performing prolonged washing or activities of daily living such as cleaning the home, we wear gloves because the water also damages the nails, let alone if we use products such as detergents, soaps, so if we do as usual but with the help gloves we keep important factors weaken the nails.
Also after contact with water, for example after washing hands, it is not healthy either stop washing our hands; we can if you use one hand and nail cream moisturizer.
Also regularly use a manicure suitable to perform a cleaning or treatment more thoroughly, perhaps we do not do, where you remove the cuticle and waste are being removed from more and can be a focus of infection as well as we should take care that If the keep long nails does not accumulate dirt under them, as this can also bring bacteria.
Almond oil and Olive are very good care of your nails; they can apply a few drops of either oil every so often to keep them moist.
When you remove the polish we use, we must ensure that we use no remover containing acetone, it is not good for nails, and if we use first a layer of a strengthener before placing the enamel, with that going to help to keep them strong.
They talk a lot about our health in some respects, therefore, should we choose good habits not only help aesthetically, but also provide care for our bodies
