amaan 65 Posted February 1, 2011 Do you always want to put your best foot forward ? Answer would always be yes. But if you have a problem with your feet then you are handicapped. Here are some of the facts about your feet which you may like to know & appreciate, how remarkable are our feet! i)There are 26 bones in each foot with approximately 1/4 of all bones in the human body. ii)The average person takes 8000 to 10000 steps a day. This adds up to around four times the circumference of the world in a life time. iii) Women have about four times as many foot problems as men: a lifelong pattern of wearing high heels & court shoes is often the reason. iv)There are times when you are walking that the pressure on your feet exceeds your body weight & when you are running,it can be three or dour times your bodyweight. v)There are approximately 2,50,000 sweat glands in a pair of feet & they excrete as much as 250 ml of moisture a day.
