Each of our feet contain 26 bones – which accounts for 1/4 of the bones in our entire body. When these bones are out of alignment, so is the rest of the body.
It’s also interesting that there are 26 vertebrae in our spine which is the same number of bones that is in each foot.
There are 33 joints, 107 ligaments, 19 muscles and tendons in each foot.
Each foot has approximately 125,000 sweat glands. This means that the average person can produce up to 22 liters of sweat in just one shoe, every year!
The skin on the sole of your foot can be up to 20 times as thick as the rest of the skin on your body.
One of the reasons that feet are so ticklish is because there are more sensory nerve endings per inch than in any other place on the body.
Your feet mirror your general health. Conditions such as arthritis, diabetes, nerve and circulatory disorders can show their initial symptoms in the feet – issues that show up in your feet can be your first sign of more serious medical problems.
