How to prevent Athlete's Foot

Categories: Diet & Weight Loss

Ever suffer from Athlete's Foot? Soaking those toes and feet in shoes, slippers and socks all day creates a nice, warm environment for the fungus that causes Athlete's Foot to grow and become a nuisance.

Most of us cover our feet more often than not. If you're a heavy sweater and your feet stay in a humid environment as well, that's a ripe and fertile ground to the Athlete's Foot fungus. Sharing shoes adds to the possibility that you'll attract the fungus as well.

Solutions? well, wash your feet often with soap and water, and be sure to dry them well after washing (especially the area between the toes). Wear shoes that promote air circulation (like sandals in the summer) and don't share footwear with others. Want more tips? See this.
