Valuable 'Footcare Health Tips' Booklet Now Available from Microplane

Noted Podiatrist Offers Important Advice.

Russellville, AR (PRWEB) July 20, 2007 -- With 26 bones, 33 joints and more than 100 tendons, muscles and ligaments, feet are an integral and vulnerable part of the body. Paying more attention to feet can not only prevent painful foot ailments, but also stave-off more serious health issues. To help spread awareness about proper foot consciousness Microplane® Personal Care and noted podiatrist Dr. Marc Brenner have created a foot health tips (www.microplane.com) booklet entitled "Transform Your Soles®."

The booklet contains valuable information from Dr. Brenner, founder and Chief of the Institute of Diabetic Foot Research, and past president of the American Society of Podiatric Dermatology, about how to practice proper foot care. Helpful information contained in the booklet includes:

- Preventable health issues that can be detected (and reversed!) through regular, proper foot care

- Things to avoid when caring for your feet at home and in the salon

- Sure-fire ways to keep your feet healthy throughout the year

- Why proper foot care is critical to the 21 million Americans living with diabetes

- Why foot consciousness means more than just visiting the salon, but also includes a regular at-home foot care routine

While there are a variety of at-home foot care (www.microplane.com) products on the market, only a few are truly effective in leaving your feet smooth and healthy. Pumice stones and traditional foot files can provide temporary relief for unsightly heels and toes, but often require such frequent use that people become frustrated and give up. Callus shavers can also be effective, but their sharp blades make them dangerous to use. A good alternative is the Microplane® Foot File, which features bi-directional micro-files that are safe and surprisingly effective. Strictly for use on dry feet, this patented file instantly produces feet that are soft, smooth, and healthy.
