subject: Foot And Health [print this page] In summer, we often do not put on socks when they wear shoes. It is too hot. But, Lu Tao in a hospital of Tianjin, he tells us that it is harmful for people's health if they wear shoes like that.
Many people become ill if they do not wear socks. Most skins of feet are outside. Therefore some insects will hurt their feet. If they walk for a long time, their feet will bleed. So the bacteria in the air will adhere to the skin of feet. If there is a wound on the feet, it will infect the bacteria.
Second, the skin will be "roasted" by the sun. The ultraviolet rays will bring harm and radicals to people's skins. Then the sells can be hurt by the sun. Therefore people's feet's skins will become resilient and rough. The resistance of the skins reduces. The skins of feet will be hurt by the strong sunshine. So it is risky for people to get cancer.
In addition, the skins of feet will be inflamed. We often do not need stockings in summer. If we keep doing that for a long time, we can find something called a callus and a corn. Sometimes, people get other diseases because they do not wear stockings. The reason is that we walk for a long time without socks. Sometimes their feet are oversensitive to the shoes made of leather or rubber. We can regard this kind of allergy as an illness.
Forth, the feet are easy to be infected by funguses. In summer, we are easy to sweat. Therefore we usually do not put on socks in hot summer. In summer, we often wear those plastic sandals or sneakers. These shoes have bad air circulation. Thus the feet always soak in the sweat. The funguses are easy to develop in the damp and hot places. Thus our feet will be infected by these funguses.
At last, in summer, many people's feet will feel cold because they do not wear stockings. In people's bodies, feet are very particular. So our feet are apt to be cool because the feet's temperature is a little low. Then, the germs will intrude into our bodies. Next, people will infect some other diseases. When it rains, the stomachs and loins can be painful. If you are a girl, you may get menstrual colic.
Therefore Lu Tao offers people a lot of instructions on shoes. In summer, we should pay more attention to our feet. We should clean our feet and keep them tidy. So we should wear stockings even in summer. The socks are between feet and shoes. They construct a zone which is good for our feet. In hot summer, the cotton socks are best choices for us. They must be thin. In addition, we can choose the shoe-pads made of cotton. The socks can protect the skins of feet and absorb the sweat which our bodies produce. In addition, the socks also protect the feet from the frictions produced by shoes. If their diseases are terrible, they must go to see a doctor. Therefore, it is necessary for us to put on socks. As long as we pay attention to this point, we can keep our feet healthy.
