In summer, besides barbecue, beer, watermelon and ice cream, flip-flops are also a symbol of summer. Many people like flip-flops because they are convenient, fashionable and cool. But few people know that wearing flip-flops for a long time will do great harm to the body. Today, let's take a look at the health hazards of flip-flops.

Flat shoe bottom

The soles of flip-flops are generally flat and can't support our arches, which will be harmful to the health of our feet.

Thin sole

Because the soles of flip-flops are relatively thin, the shock absorption ability to the ground will be relatively poor, which will increase the impact on the soles of the feet to a certain extent and increase the burden on the feet.

Cause "inner eight characters"

Because of the design of flip-flops, people often unconsciously change their gait when wearing flip-flops, so that their body center of gravity leans forward, their knees will naturally bend, and their lumbar spine will bend, which may not only hurt their knees and spine.

Causing tendon strain

Walking in flip-flops mainly relies on the strength of the toes to connect the two straps in the middle of the shoes and drive the whole shoes forward. This will make the toes unconsciously nervous, which will easily lead to tendon strain under the toes for a long time, and even cause nerve inflammation.

Reproductive bacteria

In summer, when the heel is dry, there are many tiny wounds and cracks on the plastic soles and soles of flip-flops, which rub against each other, providing an ideal breeding environment for a large number of bacteria. I have to say that Bian Xiao has a deep understanding of this. Bian Xiao's beriberi wears summer flip-flops.

In addition, it should be noted that the following categories of people must not wear flip-flops:

People with foot diseases, such as clubfoot and flat feet.

Expectant mother: pregnant women's feet are prone to edema, and because of the structural problems of flip-flops, the soles and uppers are unstable, which is easy to cause bone slip.

Obese people: This is mainly because obese people are heavy, which will cause greater pressure on their feet and will be more likely to get injured than ordinary people.

There are also sports enthusiasts and children who are not suitable for wearing flip-flops.
