High heels: Very sexy, even more unhealthy?
by Keith D on Aug 01, 2008 01:09 PM

Podiatrists from only the foot angle can testify that the load distribution factor on each toe and the ankle and its safety structure of absorbing shock to the whole system ( backbones/ spinal vertebrae, pubic and genital areas and the kidney squeeze with the misplaced back position and shape due to high heels are a visible fact.

2. To the overall health, the spine curvature and stress points are altered from the original and natural design which is built for absorption of shocks and reducing stress to the internal organs which are also then severely displaced and cannot work son well.

3. The dangers of falling and stability; knowing the condition of Indian pavements and roads and general living and shopping areas; as also the calcium absorption pattern due to continued stress and internal organ displacement

4. Walking styles and the methods will be altered with high heels and it will change the stressing points in the body to areas which do not have strength or capaciity for this which is damaging over time and often become irreversible; and higher ossification or rigidity of the joints will take place because of altered patterns of walking etc and this will add to stiffness and lack of flexibility of person.

Damage is inevitable and often irreversible and with health hazards if adopted regularrly.
