1. When grocery shopping, circle the outer aisles of the store first before going down the center aisles. That is where the freshest healthiest food is anyway.

2. Walk into a bank or restaurant instead of using the drive-through.

3. When you bring groceries into your home, make a separate trip for each bag.

4. Get on your hands and knees to scrub the floors.

5. While you are brushing your teeth, do some calf stretches and leg raises.

6. Walk to the airport gate instead of using the moving walkways.

7. Do stretching exercises for your neck or shoulders…

POWER UP YOUR DAY with this BUFF BREAKFAST!

Start Your Day Off Right! What you eat during the first hour of waking up sets your body up for calorie burning all day. 70% of the people in our country eat 70% of their calories after 7 p.m. at night! This is totally backwards. You need to eat breakfast like a KING, lunch like a QUEEN, and dinner like a PRINCE. Breakfast should be your heartiest meal of the day!
Did you know you are 300% more likely to be overweight if you don’t eat breakfast? AND…400% more likely to develop heart disease? YIKES!!! You have a 75%…

I hope your summer is going well in spite of the humidity and massive rain. We have an exciting new summer referral contest going on right now. We have referral cards in the office that you can pass on to friends.
Many of your friends have foot problems and most don’t know a foot specialist. I can’t tell you how often a new patient will tell me how grateful they are that someone gave them a card. They were suffering from foot pain, but didn’t know which doctor to go to. What’s more, the referral card offers a $25…

Severe Foot Pain May Benefit Greatly from Surgery

xmlrpc — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 21:47:45 +0000

If you suffer from severe foot pain, you might discover that foot surgery may be necessary. Foot surgery repairs many reasons such as a broken bone, structural damage or to relieve foot pain caused by another condition.

Many foot conditions that go untreated will need surgery as the only means to correct the conditions such as:

• Bunions: When all other non surgical treatments such as supports, pads or wearing roomy shoes don’t work, or when the bunions have gotten too big, surgery may be required. The most common way to correct a bunion with surgery is shaving the bump…

Foot Health Tips for Summer

drchrismilkie — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 16:24:04 +0000

I would like to share with you my Top Ten Summer Tips for Foot Health. Obviously, we expose our feet much more during the summer season, and have less support in our summer shoes. Add to that the heat and sun… well here goes:
1. Apply sunscreen to the top of your feet. Whether it’s going barefoot at the beach or around the pool, or wearing flip flops, our feet are much more exposed to direct sunlight. Applying sunscreen is easily forgotten but just as important as any other part of the body. Since the skin on our feet…

If you have had a plantar wart, then you know how unsightly and even painful they can be. These flat warts usually strike patients on the bottoms of their feet and toes, and can often make walking a painful experience.

Plantar warts are no different than any other foot condition – while never one hundred percent preventable; there are indeed some great ways to almost ensure that you are never…

If someone told you there was a way to exercise that doesn’t require a pricey gym membership or athletic skill and is actually relaxing, what would you say? No doubt, the answer would be, “Sign me up!”
Walking is the singular most popular form of exercise, but may be taken for granted since it is an act that many of us do each day without considering it an aerobic activity. However, the results of walking are physically rewarding–leading to a trimmer body and enhanced general health.
One of the wonderful aspects of starting a walking routine, known as…
