Health Tips: Flip Flops Want To Say It's Hard To Love You.

Good: breathe and prevent athlete's foot attacks.

Bad: walking for a long time is easy to pain.

" Flip flops "This is still the hot summer this year. Many big brands have launched a new type of spring and summer with flip flops. Many people feel that the flip flops are simple and casual, and the feet do not need to be tied up in the shoes. So, what is the truth?

"Flip flops do have many advantages," said Song Weidong, associate professor of foot and ankle surgery at the Guangdong provincial joint surgery branch and associate professor of foot and ankle surgery at Sun Yixian Memorial Hospital, Zhongshan University. "For example, it can help prevent fungal infection and prevent beriberi attacks." For the south of the Five Ridges region with high beriberi, it will undoubtedly be popular with consumers. In addition, between the first, second toe, there is a split toe column, which can effectively prevent hallux valgus and other foot deformity. Moreover, the flip flops have a distinct advantage, which is to maximize their feet from the bondage of shoes and avoid the foot pain, hammer toe and thumb bursitis caused by tight shoes.

Based on these advantages, the flip flops are suitable. Leisure time I was wearing it. "But it is not appropriate to wear for a long time, otherwise it will bring more harm than wearing high heels." Song Weidong said. What is the reason? Below, he gave a detailed explanation.

All in all, it is important for us to grasp a "degree". Casual leisure wear a flip flops. It's okay to walk in the home and in the community, but it takes a long walk, the road is not smooth, and the foot itself has pain.

　 Several reasons for not choosing flip flops

　 1 can not give strong support for both feet, easy to heel pain.

The bottom of the flip flops is very soft and comfortable, but don't think that your hands are comfortable and your feet will be comfortable.

The sole design of most flip flops is completely flat and very thin, causing the wearer's foot to sag down. The feet of normal people have a certain degree of radian, which can also help to buffer the vibration when walking. Generally, shoes should be supported at the bottom to support the radian.

If you wear shoes that are too flat, you can walk as if you didn't wear shoes directly to the ground. It can neither fit the foot radian, nor give enough support to the foot. This causes pain in the heel, arch and toe of the wearer. This is called heel pain. "Too flat." Flat shoes It is also for this reason that it is easy to hurt feet. Song Weidong said.

　 2 incomplete design leads to overburden of muscles and tendons.

Flip flops do not have a complete shoe design, only two thin ribbons, or only one V belt across the toes. When the wearer walks, he can only clip the two ribbons on the strength of his toes. In order to be able to hold the shoes more firmly, the toes will be unconsciously tightened and curled up to grasp the soles. This twisted state will lead to tendon strain and even fasciitis under the toes.

　 3 Achilles tendon and foot bone can not be protected.

The human foot is usually relatively short and not easy to be injured, but there are a row of slender phalanges in the front 1/3 of the foot, which are not so strong. The unprotected design of the flip flops makes the pressure on the arch of the arch and its surrounding ligaments greatly increased. Besides causing inflammation, it is also easy to cause pressure fractures of the phalanges of the phalanx. In addition, excessive exertion of "tight" shoes will also cause the leg muscles to stretch too much, and the muscles of the feet will be fatigued for a long time, resulting in flat feet.

　 4 it is easy to sprain ankle, resulting in bone hyperplasia.

When wearing thin bottom flip flops, the center of gravity of the body will unconsciously move forward, which will greatly increase the pressure on the ankle. It will easily lead to sprain of the calf muscles and plantar fasciitis. After that, the cartilage tissue between the ankle and the knee will also deteriorate, resulting in bone hyperplasia and even bone spur. However, the defenseless of the flip flops will also greatly increase the chance of injuries to the feet.

　　 5 skin hardened and chapped chapped.

The continuous flapping of shoes on the back of the feet will make the heel skin hardened and chapped, affecting the appearance. Also because the feet are exposed to the air for a long time, the exposure to the sun causes serious loss of water. The skin of both feet is vulnerable to ultraviolet radiation and becomes dry and aging.

　 6 causes pain in the hip and waist.

When wearing a flip flops, the wearer often unconsciously changes his gait, frequency and speed, and steps to avoid the embarrassment of his shoes flying away with his feet. His feet turn to the inside to catch his shoes. This way of walking can easily cause pain in other parts of the body. Because when the center of gravity moves forward, the knees will naturally bend, and the spine of the waist will bend along. For a long time, not only will the wearer's pace turn into a naive "eight character", but the knee joint, pelvis and spine will also be affected by the way of force, which will also cause pain in the lower limbs.
