NEWSLETTER March 2023

March is National Nutrition Month and there’s a clear relationship between your diet and your podiatric health. One of the most important ways is by how your food choices help you achieve or maintain an appropriate weight. Your feet must carry the weight of your entire body and extra pounds put extra strain on your knees, feet, and ankles. For every pound you gain or lose you increase or decrease the pressure on your knees by up to 4 pounds. That shows that even losing a small amount of weight can significantly improve your lower extremity health.
