Our poor feet… they are so disrespected. We put them in a confined area all day, let them get hot and sweaty and then complain when they come out hurting and worst of all, smelly. Imagine if you wore a sock over your head down to your ankles all day - how would you feel? So in the interest of being nicer to our feet, here are some tips for foot care that are helpful in the prevention of disease and injury especially if you live in hot climates such as Texas.

First of all, did you know that your feet and hands contain more sweat glands than any other part of the body? They clock in at 3000 glands per square inch - that’s alot of sweat potential!
Our feet secrete a particular acid in their sweat that can create odor in our footwear.

First, some good news about the healing process. As an acne blemish heals, the inflamed area flattens, leaving behind a reddish spot. Though it may look like an acne scar it’s actually a macule - the final stage of an acne lesion. Macules may last for up to six months, but leave no permanent acne scar.

The same holds true for post-inflammatory hyper pigmentation, a darkening of the skin at the site of a healing acne lesion. Most prevalent in African-American, Asian and Latino populations, these spots can last up to 18 months - but may disappear more quickly if you stay out of the sun. Both macules and post-inflammatory hyper pigmentation are considered “pseudo-scarring” because they eventually disappear completely.

The art of bonsai trees is an ancient and intriguing skill of training and growing trees into unique and beautiful miniature versions of the full size plants. The word bonsai comes from the Japanese words meaning “tray landscape”, but the art itself originated in China.

The Chinese were the first to master the art of bonsai trees as a way of growing small versions of medicinal plants that could be easily transported for epidemics and into battle. The Japanese adopted the art in the 8th century after Buddhist monks brought them to the country. The art of bonsai trees was practiced almost exclusively by the upper class for many years before developing into what it is today. The art of bonsai trees is now practiced around the world by millions of people from all walks of life.

Diabetes is primarily characterized by the condition of hyperglycemia or high blood sugar. This is caused because the hormone insulin that reduces the blood sugar level is not produced or doesn’t work effectively. As there is no cure for diabetes, a diabetic must control their blood sugar levels every day so that there are no further health problems. In type 1 diabetes this involves injecting insulin into the body. In type 2 diabetes and gestational diabetes the treatment may involve taking a drug to make the insulin in their body work more effectively or simply watch what they eat.
