Heel: Physicians warn
The anatomy of a foot is such that we will feel better not on a flat sole, but on a 4-5 cm heel. Such height provides optimum distribution of body’s weight helping to ligaments. Bearing area of a foot is very small - some tens square centimeters which bear considerable pressure even if you do not have excess weight.
The high heel irregularly distributes weight bearing, and part of a foot accounts for its three quarters. Each superfluous centimeter, from the sixth on, increases backbone burden by 10-15 kg, and pressure on toes - 25 %. As consequence, toes are deformed, especially big one. Those who go crazy with high-heeled footwear often have “knobs” on feet. And it is not simply ugly, but also painfully.
The backbone is also far from being delighted - the centre of body’s gravity is moved forward. The woman of fashion keeps balance due to an effort of feet, a waist and a neck. This can lead to headaches, heart disorders, breathlessness and pressure jumps, let alone more serious consequences - varicosity, developments of stagnation in the field of the distorted pelvis (intestines, urinary bladder, uterus, and ovary) and even barrenness. Therefore high-heeled defile is recommended not often than three times a week.
