Your feet are one of the most important parts of your body, and you subject them to a lot of abuse every single day. Foot pain can be seriously debilitating, whether it be from strains, blisters or other issues. Here are some helpful tips for keeping your feet in good shape.

The most important thing you can do for your feet is wearing the right kind of shoe. Not only should they fit snugly, but they should also be appropriate for the kind of activity you are doing. Different kinds of shoes are designed for different things, so make sure your shoe offers the ideal combination of support and comfort.

Good sock selection is also very important. It’s important to wear socks that will wick moisture away from your feet as you exercise. Excess moisture left on the skin can result in blisters, fungal infections and more.

Toenail care is essential for healthy feet. You should always trim your toenails in straight lines perpendicular to your toes. This prevents ingrown nails and other issues. Make sure not to trim down the side of the nail.

If you feel anything unusual with your feet, you should consult a podiatrist immediately. Left undiagnosed, foot problems can lead to very significant health issues that can impact you greatly.

Some call it the best barbecue in Texas; this tiny place is certainly popular, doling out Texas-style dry rub barbecue meats to crowds every day of the week. Regulars agree that the brisket is out of this world; salty, smoky, and melt in your mouth tender. Lean, chewy ribs are a popular choice as well. The sauce, served on the side, strikes the perfect balance between sweet and spicy. Homemade sausages come smoked or in spicy links. Sides and desserts are of the humble home style variety; beans, coleslaw, green beans, and a bread pudding your mama might have made. Be forewarned, this kind of slow cooking can take a while, and Gatlin’s sometimes closes when they run out of meat; it’s best to call in your order ahead of time.
