It’s easy to neglect foot care during winter. Hidden away in wooly socks and boots, our feet often get less attention compared to the summer months when beach holidays and the requisite sandals demand their maintenance. Despite this, the colder season brings its own unique set of challenges to feet that can leave them more vulnerable to health issues. For those in the natural health industry, it’s worth noting the growing consumer interest in this area. The global foot care products market size was estimated at $12.67 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow by 4.6% from 2023 to 2030. The increasing demand for items like foot gels and moisturisers is closely linked to the surge in people taking part in regular fitness – a huge lifestyle shift that has been increasingly noticeable in my own private clinic. In our latest guest post, Mr David Gordon aka The Bunion Doctor explores how to care for your feet through the cold winter months. https://lnkd.in/eyVnknrj #footcare #foothealth #TheBunionDoctor #winterwellness #NPO

If doctors better understood this, it could transform the new emphasis on sickness prevention that the government is promising. In our latest guest comment, patrick holford explores the truth about fructose- how this fruit sugar is driving dementia, diabetes and brain fog. https://lnkd.in/eJDrzprQ Food for the Brain Foundation #fructose #dementiaprevention #dementiaawareness #foodforthebrain
