What Every Senior in Winnipeg, MB Needs to Know About How How Aging Affects Feet \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Aging affects feet, and this we know. Henry David Thoreau once wrote, \u201cAn early-morning walk is a blessing for the whole day.\u201d From sunup to sundown, we rely on our feet to get us wherever we need to go. Feet are the unsung heroes of the human body, but with age-related changes, and wear and tear,\u00a0 a lifetime spent on our feet takes a toll.<\/p>\n

\n

How Aging Affects Feet:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The American Podiatric Association estimates that the average person will have walked 75,000 miles by the time they reach 50 years of age.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

For some seniors, being able to walk is a blessing in and of itself. So, what exactly changes with our feet as we get older?<\/p>\n

How Aging Affects Feet:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

#1. Changes in Collagen Production<\/strong><\/h3>\n

To start with, there\u2019s a decrease in collagen production which causes the natural cushioning of the feet to diminish. Without this padding, the feet lose their ability to absorb shocks, often leading to severe soreness and pain when walking.<\/p>\n

#2. Blood Circulation<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Blood circulation can also begin to slow as we age, especially for those dealing with diabetes, vein disease, or other conditions. Proper circulation is crucial in keeping the human body healthy, and when the feet don\u2019t get the blood supply they need, several problems can arise \u2013 severe swelling being chief among them.<\/p>\n

#3. Arthritis<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Arthritis, particularly in the big toe or top of the foot, can lead to stiffness, dull aches, and decreased range of motion.<\/p>\n

While all of these changes are certainly common, seniors should not assume that foot pain is to be simply tolerated. Seniors can take steps to care for their feet, reduce their risk of the aforementioned problems, and maintain their independence. With these tips, seniors can embrace Thoreau\u2019s words and enjoy all that the day has to offer.<\/p>\n

Aging Affects Feet: Care Tips for Seniors
<\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n

#1. Footwear<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Invest in proper footwear that conforms to the foot (not the other way around). Comfort is certainly key, but flexibility is also important. It\u2019s highly recommended that seniors buy shoes that have a half-inch gap between the tip and the longest toe.<\/p>\n

#2. Walk<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Take regular walks, paying particular attention to proper posture (head erect, back straight, and arms swinging).<\/p>\n

#3. Stay on Top of Foot Health<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Have your feet checked frequently by a podiatrist, especially if diagnosed with diabetes.<\/p>\n

#4. Cleanliness<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Wash your feet thoroughly with soap and water, especially between the toes. It\u2019s also imperative that they are dried thoroughly to help prevent fungal infections.<\/p>\n

#5. Moisturize<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Use lotion after washing\/drying to reduce the risk of the skin becoming dry and cracked.<\/p>\n

#6. Protect Your Feet<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Avoid walking while barefoot, to help avoid cuts and scrapes.<\/p>\n

#7. Pedicures<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Ensure proper toenail maintenance by cutting across the nail and avoiding trimming the corners.<\/p>\n

#8. Daily Exercise<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Promote proper circulation by stretching daily, keeping the feet propped up, and wiggling toes after sitting for long periods.<\/p>\n

\n

Aging Affects Feet: PROTip for Pain<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

For any acute foot pain, apply the RICE treatment: rest, ice, compression, and elevation. Seniors should get off their feet, put ice on the injury for 20 minutes every hour, wrap it with a bandage, and keep the foot above the knee.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
