With all the things we depend on our feet for, it is understandable that they may become sore and tired now and then. Luckily, most causes of foot pain can be relieved by simple measures, such as maintaining a healthy body weight, doing strength and stretching exercises, and wearing well-fitting shoes. Obesity can cause other health conditions, including stress and strain on the feet. Maintaining a healthy, active lifestyle and a reasonable body weight will improve one's overall health, including the feet. Exercising the feet can assist with stability and flexibility, thereby reducing pain. Make sure the shoes that are worn fit well, provide adequate support for activities performed, and properly support the arches.  will also go a long way in increasing the comfort of the feet and keeping pain at bay. If you suffer from obstinate foot pain, medical intervention might be called for. See a chiropodist who can do a thorough examination of your feet and recommend treatment options.
