Arch Supports & Weight Loss

May 24, 2009 - PRLog -- Have you ever noticed how your feet feel different when you’re walking on sand? Did you know your feet are naturally designed to walk barefoot on terrain like sand, dirt, and grass!

In modern times, this is not possible, at early childhood we learn to walk with shoes on hard, flat surfaces. In doing so, we eliminated the natural support our feet are designed for and as we grow older, we begin to feel the aches and pains caused by this lack of proper foot support.

Walk2BFit Xtra Steps Arch Supports™ bring the grounds surface UP to your feet, filling in the space between the arches of your feet and the ground, placing the foot into the correct position that nature intended. During this process the arch support also places your body into correct alignment. When your feet are supported correctly, the foundation of your body is properly aligned and NOW you are ready to walk pain free.

As you walk with your arch supports, your foot will gradually conform to them. They do not FIT the foot, they correct the foot, then support the foot in a corrected position. In the process, they take care of the problems created in the foot and the body while the foot was not properly supported.

Did you know that your feet form the base your ENTIRE body rests on - so even minor foot problems can cause misalignments in joints, resulting in pain, fatigue and decreased strength and energy. When you wear Arch Supports, your body is placed in proper alignment. Muscle fatigue and arthritis caused by uneven wear in the joints is relieved in an effective NATURAL way. They relieve pain, improve posture and restore health and active lifestyle -- encouraging you to get on your feet, PAIN FREE and regain the active lifestyle you deserve.

If you are on a weight loss program, you already know that fitness is a key part of losing weight.  Good nutrition and exercise go hand-in-hand.  Unfortunately, it's a catch 22 and can be very discouraging when we start to feel the foot pain after just a few steps.  We have learned that when we are carrying around those extra pounds all of the weight bearing pressure goes straight to our feet with every step we take.  Sometimes five times our body weight goes straight to our feet with each step!  No wonder our feet hurt when we go for short walks.

When our feet hurt, it's discouraging to take those extra steps or walk that extra mile.  If you can relate to the pain of walking, arch supports will help!   They will redistribute weight bearing pressure so you can walk the extra mile to achieve your weight loss goal.
