The Dangers Of High Heels and Uterine Damage (1091 hits)
With every step a female takes on cement or carpet while wearing high heel shoes, she sends an electrical shock from the metatarsal bones in her feet up the bone in her legs.
A woman should wear high heel shoes as rarely as possible. Long term use of these shoes poses a great health risk to women. When a woman wears high heels, the bulk of her body weight is on her heels, which can cause hardened heels. Many women right now have heels and soles that feel like sandpaper due to wearing high heel shoes long term.
A lot of women also have "hammer toe" (corns) from wearing high heel shoes, the ones that actually cover the whole feet and toes.
High heels place tremendous strain on the ankles, knees, hips and back. As a result, the spine is thrown out of alignment, which can cause other functional issues.
Many women actually experience sprained ankles, numbness, tendonitis and other health problems from wearing high heels or improperly fitting shoes.
Women who wear high-heeled stiletto shoes may be damaging their uterus and reducing their chances of getting pregnant. Heels, particularly if they are over five inches high, force the wearer to adopt an "unnatural" posture which can prevent them from conceiving.
While most women were aware of the risk of developing back, foot and ankle problems from wearing high-heeled shoes, they do not realise the effect they can have on abdominal function. One of the biggest problems, particularly as heels get steeper, is that your pelvis is asked to tilt forwards, which is why people get back ache.
The pelvis is like a bucket for the internal organs. Everything has it's own space to operate. When your pelvis tips forward, your organs end up resting on one another and you end up with a bit of a mish-mash.
When women feel fat in the lower abdomen, often the reason for it is that their stomach contents are pushing against the front of their pelvis. This can slow down the gastric function, lead to menstrual dysfunction and can ultimately impair fertility.
Most women get their fashion sense from other women. They might see a celebrity wearing high heels and follow fashion. However, wearing high heel shoes is a bad decision that will lead you to be singing the blues for years to come.
Natural Healing
Going barefoot is totally natural. Let your feet feel the grass, the dirt, the sand, the water, the rocks and more. Go to the beach and bury your feet in the sand. Walk in a river or stream. Sit on a large rock with your feet firmly planted. Grass, dirt, water, sand, etc. are healing.
If you wear high heels, massage your feet until the muscles and tendons start to relax. You can also roll your foot back and forth over the top of a tennis ball for a more in-depth massage.
If you simply can't stop wearing high heels, consider the fact that many women wear shoes that are too small. To keep your feet healthy, try this:
◦Get your foot properly sized at a department store
◦The higher the heel, the more swelling will take place over the day, so consider wearing a half-size larger, especially if the toe is very pointed.
◦If the shoe isn't a perfect fit in the store, it's only going to get worse after you leave.
◦Try shoes on at the end of the day, since that's when they will be the most tender.

Lol... Hammer toe.... Corns... Bunions... Nope... My grandfather was a farmer he said always take care of your feet... That I do... Remember boomerang... Eddie Murphy and his feet fetish... Most men I meet got this feet thang.....
That's true Ms. Artis most men (including my husband) do find pretty feet to be attractive. That's why proper foot care and pedicures are important (lol). When I was working as a bank teller at Wells Fargo I wore 5 inch high heels all the time because like most women I loved the look of high heels (this was before I was introduced to holistic health), I used to stand on my feet a lot and as a result I developed painful heel spurs. Today I wear flat shoes as much as possible and wear no high heel above 3 inches.
