Are high heels harmful to health?

I believe that many female friends have the experience of wearing high heels in their daily lives! Although many women also know that wearing high heels for a long time will make our feet very painful, but for the sake of their own beauty, they will still grit their teeth and insist on wearing them. However, as people in modern society pay more and more attention to their physical health, some female friends have asked, are high heels harmful to health? In response to this question raised by everyone, please join me in finding out.

Hazard 1: Failure is not a good look

Recently, thanks to the veteran beauty mom "Xu Haoying" making thick-soled canvas shoes fashionable, platform shoes have made a comeback! But do you know? Because the soles of platform shoes are too thick, it is easy for people to lean forward when walking and lose their center of gravity, which may sprain the foot joints, bones or ligaments.

Harm 2: Foot shape is getting uglier

Summer is coming, and at this time, all kinds of colorful flip-flops are available on the market. But clip-toe sandals are harmful to human health. Because the front of the foot lacks support when the wearer walks, the toes will naturally clamp the shoes while walking and slowly curl up into a claw shape. At the same time, as the body's center of gravity tilts to the forefoot, the arch joint is overstressed, which can cause foot pain and inflammation, and in severe cases, hallux valgus may form. In addition, when people wear flip-flops, in order to balance the forward-leaning body, the waist naturally leans backward, which can damage the spine over time.

Hazard 3: Shift of center of gravity, spinal problems

It is undeniable that the higher the high heels are, the more beautiful they are, and the thinner the heels are, the more charming they are. However, if you wear high heels higher than 5cm, the human body will not be able to adapt. Because the heel is lifted up, the center of gravity will fall on the forefoot, making the ankle joint less stable and prone to the risk of ankle sprain. Not only that, it will also affect the knee joints, because the center of gravity falls in front of them, the knees are prone to push back, that is, over-extend. This condition will accelerate joint wear and degeneration, causing knee pain and even inability to go down stairs. In addition, the pelvis will tilt forward, causing the buttocks to tilt upward and the lumbar spine to bend forward excessively, which will accelerate the compression of the lumbar joints and shorten the length of the back muscles, relax the lower abdominal muscles, and cause back pain.

Hazard 4: "Torture" of the toes

The retro style is back! Long skirts, pointed leather shoes, rivets...are all unchanging fashions. Pointed leather shoes have a shaping effect on the toes, bringing the toe tips together and easily forming hallux valgus. The space at the toe of the shoe is small, air circulation is difficult, and bacteria can easily grow. Pointed leather shoes put pressure on the front half of the foot, which can easily cause poor blood flow. Over time, it will be difficult for blood to supply nutrients, heat, and oxygen to the toes, which can easily cause foot deformities. The front end of pointed leather shoes is hard and thin, which severely squeezes the toes and can easily cause ingrown toenails and corns.

The above paragraphs introduce us to the problem of high heels being harmful to health in detail. I sincerely hope that friends who have concerns in this regard can read the above content carefully so that they can have a deeper understanding and a more standard answer to this question. Of course, I also hope that female friends will not just pursue beauty and ignore their own health. This is a very unwise choice.
