Health tips
Your dirtiest foot forward

Centrum tip A pain-free pedicure
Treating yourself to a manicure or pedicure? It's a great way of boosting your appearance and self-confidence, and relaxing at the same time.
Centrum tip Time wounds all heels
No matter how well-groomed the rest of your body is, if your heels are cracked and dry, it spoils the entire picture.
Are your feet a knockout?
Feet smell, because they sweat a lot (they contain more than 600 sweat glands per square centimetre) and the perspiration cant evaporate inside closed shoes.
From top to toe
Look all the way down to your toes. You might be surprised to learn they're more important than you might think.
Are your heels cracking you up?
Cracked heels are generally caused by dry skin, and can be complicated by calluses on the rim of the heel.
Centrum tip - Make sure the shoe fits
Many foot problems experienced by adults begin with ill-fitting shoes they wore when they were children.
Centrum tip - Do not put a foot wrong
Footcare should be an essential part of everyone's daily routine. Preventing problems are so much easier than trying to solve them later.
Centrum tip Treat your feet
Look after your feet not only for the sake of being well-groomed, but also to ensure good health.
Centrum tip Stop your feet from humming
Your shoes look good and feel comfortable, but when you take them off, pot plants wilt and small birds fall to earth.
Centrum tip Get to grips with gout
Gout is a type of arthritis that usually affects only one or two joints in the body. Do you suffer from it? Find out how you can adapt your diet to make it better.
