Lose Weight
Obesity and overweight result from too much body fat accumulation caused by an unhealthy diet and lack of physical activity. An overweight person has a BMI of over 25, while an obese person’s BMI is over 30. Both conditions are unhealthy and may lead to several health complications like heart problems, diabetes, and breathing issues. Aside from these, obesity can also damage the muscles, connective tissues, and bones, affecting how a person moves and walks.
A person’s heels and feet are affected by obesity and overweight since they need to endure the extra pounds while going about their daily activities. Losing the excess fats can remove unnecessary pressure on the feet while standing or walking. In addition, 8-10 patients who are obese or overweight complain about recurring heel pain caused by plantar fasciitis or the inflammation of the ligament that connects the toes to the heel bone. Losing extra weight can reduce the inflammation and fats surrounding the plantar fascia. This will help the plantar fascia heal and regain its flexibility.
Losing weight can be challenging. Before trying anything, it is best to consult the doctor and discuss realistic exercise routines and safe diets.
