Recent research has indicated there may be a direct link between increased body mass index, which is also referred to as BMI, and serious foot conditions. People who have an elevated BMI may develop foot ailments, which may include arthritis, heel pain, or tendonitis. Pressure is generally increased in the ankles and feet as a result of the additional weight and this may lead to the feet incurring skeletal issues. Additionally, it may be challenging to purchase shoes that are comfortable, while offering adequate support. There may be ways to find relief from foot pain associated with obesity, which may include practicing a healthy dietary lifestyle change, in addition to including moderate exercise into your daily routine. A consultation with a podiatrist may be considered for a proper assessment of any foot conditions that may be present, in addition to learning about how to reduce your BMI, which may possibly prevent future problems with your feet.
