Sitting for long hours at work can be rather stressful for those who have sedentary work. In such cases taking good care of your feet health is very important for your heart and overall health.
What can you do besides wearing comfortable shoes, soaking your feet in warm salt water after work,
massaging your feet from time to time.
However when at work you can
incorporate a simple practice of taking a short walk every one hour to break monotony and reduce the impact of long hours of sitting in a chair.
As a Ballroom dance teacher I used some simple props for my students to help strengthen their feet.
Elevating your feet when ever possible, can reduce pressure on the blood vessels, lowering fatigue and release stress.
One is simply rolling a tennis ball under your feet for a few times in a day to release the strain and
tension.
Another easy way is to
have a small terry towel under
your feet and to try to lift it by
scrunching your toes.lt helps
tone, stretch & ease your feet
muscles.
They are both easy to carry and can help you do a feet workout as you work.
Do try and let me know if it helps.

This is actually a great tip, Savvy.
Fun fact: In the movie ‘Die Hard’ Bruce Willis’ character does this after a fellow passenger on a plane tells him about it and he discovers it actually works lol
But on a serious note, foot health is often taken for granted, but when I was in the military, we were taught to take it very seriously.
Have a fantastic day!

Yes it does indeed. Even the simplest of tasks are to be carried out in a very specific manner and treated with respect. Whether mopping a floor, or handling a rifle, the same level is expected to be shown.

Yes and if the art of living life well is truly understood and practiced, be it any field, life actually is beautiful.

Indeed Dear Savvy if We Make Our Feet and Even Our Hands The Weakest Links of Our
Existence By Sitting Long Periods And No Longer Foraging on Our Feet in All Directions
As We aRe Naturally Evolved to Do We Naturally Suffer the Consequence of Not Nearly
Meeting All Of Our Human Potentials Up to the Consequence of Disorder Disease
Including Metabolic Syndrome
And Even Poor Mental
Health too And
Even Premature Death
That Otherwise Might Be A
Long Healthy Lifespan if We
Start By Exercising our Feet
as Really Sitting Still For Long
Periods is Repetitive Movement
At the Smallest Levels of Muscle
Movement to Keep Our Posture in
That Rather Cramped Position Which
Of Course Like All Other Repetitive Movements
Will Lead to Physical Ergonomic Injuries Like Neck
Back Arm Leg Feet Hands And Basically Pain All over the Body
Associated With These Ergonomic Injuries from Repetitive Movements
All Excellent Suggestions You Make to Keep the Blood Flowing to the Feet
Hehe my Apple Watch Reminds me to at Least Stand Up and Walk around
Every Hour on the Hour as i Write at this Computer in Meditative Flow as True
It’s Easy to Forget All about One’s Body When Doing This Other than Fingers
Dancing Long Distances close to the Keyboard Hehe as Basically If We Don’t
Move We Rot in Place The Rest of Nature Moves All We Have to Do is Look Around and see
Realizing
We Are Just
Another Part of the
Animal Kingdom and
Not A Static Sitting Machine…
i’m Quite Sure if Our Foraging
Ancestors Saw Us Sitting Still in
Front of Screens in our Caves All
Day Day in And Day Out They Would
Think We’ve Lost Our Minds Yet Indeed
In Doing This We Lose Our Bodies Minds and Souls
in the Long
Run of
Forgetting
Who We even
Are Ah Yes Free
Dancers Singers on the Wing…
This is the Problem With the Cultures
Human Beings are Born into We aRe
Spoon Fed it And Take it Usually as What is Good For Us
Absolutely Nothing Could Be Further From the Truth
And of Course The Medical Records Speak For the
Reality of
This Now For Sure…
Sitting in Front of A Screen
With a ‘Zillion’ Dopamine Hits
Isn’t Much Different Really
Than A Monkey Sitting
In Front of A Machine
With Levers Dispensing
Cocaine Until the Monkey
Dies It’s just a slower process
That Indeed Will Be More Torturous For US…
Hehe With That Sung it’s Almost Time For my Free Dance around the Block..:)
