RealAge Tip of the Day

Foot Fault

Are you putting off caring for a minor foot ailment? If so, you could be

treading down a path to bigger health hassles.

Even minor complaints, such as an ingrown toenail or a painful corn, can

lead to more serious conditions, such as back or hip pain. In one study of

older adults, foot problems were linked to a higher risk of falls and

injuries. Keep your feet healthy by inspecting them daily, wearing

comfortable shoes, and promptly reporting problems to your doctor.

RealAge Benefit: Actively patrolling your health can make your RealAge as

much as 12 years younger.
