Doctors told how slippers can harm health
It is the issue of hygiene that prevails here.
Usually slippers are bought according to the "residual" principle - how much money is left after more significant acquisitions, and they buy within this amount. In addition, they are not particularly chosen, focusing, as a rule, only on color shades. Often the purchase occurs only after the old ones completely become unusable.
This is wrong, because this piece of footwear has a significant impact on human health.
Hygiene comes first
Old, worn slippers may be comfortable, but what have they not seen. More precisely what only legs. Over time, such a huge amount of viable fungi and bacteria accumulate in their internal cavity that it becomes simply dangerous to wear them. Unless, of course, the person wearing them does not want to undergo a long and tedious course of treatment for the fungus. Doubtful pleasure.
Therefore, it is not recommended to wear slippers without socks. You can disinfect these shoes with vinegar, but it is better to change them at least once a quarter. Also, it is better to give preference to products made from natural fabrics, rather than synthetics.
There are other reasons that testify to the importance of these shoes for health.
Other problems
Presence: flat feet, diseases of the musculoskeletal system, problems with the spine, may be due to the wrong choice or wearing slippers.
Usually they do not have a heel, which can greatly aggravate existing foot problems or cause them to become diseased. The same goes for the joints. Incorrect positioning of the foot when walking in slippers leads to changes in them, up to deformation.
That is why orthopedic doctors recommend buying indoor shoes with a small heel. Another recommendation is to wear slippers with a massage effect, with plastic, non-traumatic spikes or with special insoles. In this case, a massage of all zones of the feet occurs, which contributes to the impact on biologically active zones.
Such shoes are not recommended for patients with oncology and those with a “heel spur”.
