Our feet help us balance and carry us the equivalent of five times round the Earth in an average lifetime. That is an average of 8,000 - 10,000
steps every day, the equivalent of several miles!. In return, we rarely give them the attention they deserve,
hiding them away in shoes and forgetting about them... until they rebel.
To make sure your feet feel as good when you are 80, as they do today, take care of them regularly - as you do your teeth.
