Are high heels good for women s health?

First of all, let's talk about the benefits of wearing high heels, women wearing high heels can highlight the waist, hips and legs, making the curve more S-shaped. In addition, it can also increase the height, and the legs are significantly elongated, making the figure look slimmer. When wearing high heels, it can make people walk with their heads held high and chest, exuding a mature charm.

Then let's talk about the disadvantages of wearing high heels, which can cause excessive stretching of the back bones, causing nerve damage or significant pain in the legs or buttocks. Wearing high heels increases the pressure on the inner knee, which makes it easy to push the knee forward, increasing the chance of developing arthritis.

For people with foraminal stenosis, wearing high heels for a long time may cause muscle weakness, numbness, spasms, etc., and may also put pressure on the sciatic nerve of sciatica. In addition, wearing high heels can affect people's anatomy, especially in the knees and back, not only shortening the calf muscles, but also making the tendons thicker and thicker, increasing the pressure on the lumbar area of the spine.

Walking in high heels in the wrong way can bend the spine, increase pressure, cause pain, and even affect the spinal cord. When running or walking in high heels, you may slip on the ground and cause bone pain and arthritis, and high heels can cause some damage to your feet and ankles.

Always wear pointed-toe heels on the forefoot bones, which puts pressure on the big toe and makes it easy to turn the big toe outward. Wearing inappropriate shoes can cause foot blisters and cause foot pain and corns. When walking in high heels, the center of gravity of the whole body will tilt forward, and in order to maintain balance, the knee joint will bend excessively, causing the waist to bend backwards, inducing lower back pain and knee joints.

There are pros and cons to wearing high heels, in necessary places, if you must wear high heels, you can't exaggerate too much, and the height of the heel can be controlled at about 8 cm, otherwise it will increase the damage to the body. Try to choose shoes with a wide toe toe so that your toes can be stretched, you can't wear high heels all day, and you should choose comfortable sneakers or slippers after work.

One. Effect on the toes.

When the toes are forced to squeeze against the front of the shoe, the toes will be in an unnatural shape, resulting in deformed feet due to the frequent bending of the toes. Mallet toe can cause pain in the toes.

If the toe is too pointed, squeezing the thumb will cause the thumb to turn outward. The valgus thumb is constantly compressed by the friction of the shoe, and there will be a spike-like tenderness when it becomes inflamed. In addition, an overly pointed toe can squeeze the foot and worsen the problem of bunionitis.

Two. Effect on the soles of the feet.

Where the shoes and feet are constantly rubbing, thick crust will grow. When you put on high heels, slide your foot forward, and squeeze into that narrow shoe, it creates a whole new pressure point on the foot and creates friction. Prone to corns and thick calluses.

For some women, short heels can no longer satisfy their pursuit of beauty, and they wear higher and higher heels. However, the main cause of flat feet is the relaxation of the plantar aponeurosis, which is located on the sole of the foot and maintains the stability of the arch like a bowstring. The higher the heel, the longer the hind arm of the arch of the foot, and the greater the tension (tension) on the plantar aponeurosis.

If the long-term tension is too large, the plantar aponeurosis will relax, and the arch of the foot will be reduced, which will cause flat feet in severe cases.

In addition, wearing high heels can also lead to a series of accidents related to high heels, such as sprains. In order to reduce the harm caused by wearing high heels to our health, women should limit the height of high heels to within centimeters when choosing high heels, and they can reduce the pressure on the foot joints by adding the inner insole.

Three. Effect on the lower back.

Wearing high heels, the pelvis leans forward and the waist leans back, which can easily lead to lumbar muscle strain after a long time. Lumbar muscle strain accelerates degenerative changes such as bone hyperplasia and decreased ligament elasticity, and becomes a prelude to lumbar disc herniation. In addition, after wearing high heels, you can't stand and walk as you like, and the reaction and coordination ability of the whole body decreases, and you are prone to lumbar sprains.

Four. Effects on the cervical spine.

High heels make people's center of gravity move forward excessively, which will inevitably cause pelvic tilt forward, increased spinal curvature, and concentrated force on the cervical spine, which is easy to cause injury, and the accumulation of this injury will eventually lead to the occurrence of cervical spondylosis.

High heels are a must-have for women, they can elongate the leg line and increase the aura, so they are very popular. Wearing high heels will change the shape of the foot and cause toe valgus, appear, toe deformity, pain, and it is not good for the lumbar spine.

Women don't do any good for their bodies when they wear high heels. Wearing high heels has been shown to have an effect on women's bones and muscles. Wearing inappropriate high heels for a long time can cause deformity.

Women wearing high heels are very good for their health, first of all, they can practice your balance, and secondly, they can make your body better and better, because you need to maintain balance when walking, and it will also promote the movement of every muscle in your body.

Women wearing high heels can enhance their temperament, but they do not have any benefits for their health. Women often wear high heels to damage the lumbar and cervical spine. When the posture is upright, the vertebrae are in contact with each other, and the force is dispersed and not easy to be damaged; When the spine is curved, the contact surface between the vertebrae becomes smaller, the force tends to be concentrated, and even concentrated to a point, and the pressure increases rapidly, which is easy to damage the vertebrae.

High heels make people's center of gravity move forward excessively, which will inevitably cause pelvic tilt forward, increased spinal curvature, and concentrated force on the lumbar and cervical spine, which is easy to cause injury, and the accumulation of this injury will eventually lead to low back pain and cervical spondylosis. Knee arthropathy aggravates the wear and tear of knee cartilage due to changes in the line of negative gravity, inducing or aggravating articular cartilage degeneration. Eventually, I will also have an ankle sprain.

It is not good for women to wear high heels for a long time, because high heels themselves are very tiring to wear. Moreover, wearing high heels for a long time will cause deformation of the legs and feet, so it is not much good for health.

Although high heels are very beautiful to wear, wearing high heels has a certain impact on physical health, and long-term wearing of high heels has great damage to the feet, and may also cause lumbar muscle strain.

Women wear high heels, which is basically not good for the body, but just makes your figure look better and more. But at the same time, it can cause your calves to be too thick, and due to the imbalance of the body for a long time, it will cause your spine to be affected. So that's not a good thing.

After the age of 23.

Women are more beautiful and often wear high heels, feeling that wearing high heels makes them look more energetic when standing or walking. Young women should be cautious about wearing high heels to avoid future problems such as foot and pelvic deformities. Because when wearing high heels, in order to balance the center of gravity, the body needs to lean forward, the back needs to be slightly bent, the buttocks need to be slightly protruding, the knee joint is passively stiff, the whole body weight must be shifted to the ball of the foot, and the toes are squeezed on the tip of the high heel or pointed toe shoes, thus hindering the bone development in these areas.

Wearing high heels can increase knee varus and anterior-posterior knee torsion, which can induce knee osteoarthritis. Wearing high heels will make the phalanges and metatarsals (i.e., the joints between the toes and the soles of the feet) thicken due to excessive force, which affects the flexibility of the toe metatarsal joints, and can easily cause hallux valgus, hammer toes, interdigital neuralgia, heel pain, foot deformation, and pelvic deformation. The pelvis is an important part of the body that transmits gravity, and when you stand or walk in flat shoes, the weight of your whole body falls on both feet; When wearing high heels, the weight transfer of the body changes, the load on the pelvis increases, and the sides of the pelvis are forced to shrink, and the pelvic entrance narrows can occur over time.

Narrowing of the pelvic entrance can easily lead to dystocia in pregnant women, and it can also cause backache and leg pain due to compression and stretching of nerves and muscles.

In fact, wearing shoes with a slightly higher heel is not harmful to the body, but the heel of the shoe should not be more than 4 cm high. Starting from the physiological needs of taking into account the stability, comfort and maintenance of the arch of the foot, women should pay attention to avoid wearing high-heeled or pointed-toe shoes for a long time. If you have to wear high heels for some jobs or occasions, you should soak your feet in hot water after returning home to relieve soft tissue spasms, which is very good for foot health care.

So don't wear it too early.
