Can High Heels Be Bad For You?

by Wedding In The Sky on 06/06/2013 - 10:48 am |

They’re called killer heels for a reason. Spindly and sky-high, it’s an accident waiting to happen. But oh, how we love our heels!

Wearing heels tilts us slightly forward, causing us to tuck our tummies in, stand straighter, and exude more confidence. They come in such gorgeous styles too! Deputy editor of MEGA Magazine Meryll Yan believes that a good pair of heels is the equivalent of a power suit. “I think that heels make you look longer and help to straighten out your back. They sure are a great confidence boost!”
But how can something that looks so good be bad for you?

Are heels hazardous to your health?

You probably already know that ill-fitting shoes, and particularly heels, can cause blisters, bunions, and calluses, as well as leg cramps and back pain. But did you know that suffering for fashion can be hazardous to your health?
Some footwear-related conditions treated by St. Luke’s Medical Center at Bonifacio Global City include: ankle sprain, ankle/foot tendinitis, metatarsalgia, plantar fasciitis, and lumbosacral strain. Seriously?? Rehabilitation Medicine specialist, Victoria M. Morales, MD of St. Luke's Medical Center-Global City shares, “If an individual experiences feet discomfort, the normal response of the body is to adjust to ease the pain and adjust gait pattern. However, in the process, this may cause strain/stress to other parts of the body.” No wonder when our feet hurt, it seems our entire body aches, too. But wait, there’s more. “High-heeled shoes with inadequate arch support in particular may cause shortening of calf muscles and achilles tendon leading to ankle instability.” And when the heels are impossibly high? “The back or spine tries to adjust to maintain upright position; however, too much stress to back may lead to back pain.”
Finding Your Sole Mate

If you must wear heels, at least choose those that don’t put your health in peril. Here are some tips when going on your next shoe shopping expedition:
1. Dr. Morales advises, “Ideally, shoes must have good cushion (good arch support), must be of good quality, provide stability and must be comfortable.”2. “One must FIT the shoes. Recommended time is in the afternoon when feet are swollen to the largest. Size may vary a little depending on shoe style,” says the good doctor. When trying on shoes, walk around in them for several minutes to make sure they don’t pinch your toes, the straps don’t dig into your skin, and you’re not sliding forward. 3. Choose shoes with solid heels for better support—instead of skinny stilettos, go for polished pumps with stacked heels, or try wedges (an excuse to buy those popular sneaker wedges!). 4. Find the perfect height for you—one which allows you to walk as comfortably as possible (not like a robot), and doesn’t put too much pressure on your ...

10 Romantic Ways To Propose

Tags: Relationship, Wedding Ideas

The way you propose to someone makes a lot of difference with respect to the answer you receive. Proposals are the most cherished part of a relationship and they should be something that makes your partner feel special every time they remember it. It is important to consider the kind of a person he is, before choosing the way of the proposal. If he is outgoing and wild, you could try something very creative and different. On the other hand, if he’s an introvert and shy, keep your proposal simple yet thoughtful. Either ways, do something meaningful that he would cherish for life.

1. Story
Write a story about the two of you. Go into a complete flashback mode, covering everything right from the first time the two of you met, fell in love and end it with The Question. In your story, remember to mention minute details to impress him even more.

2. Cake
Bake a heart shaped cake of the intended person’s favorite flavor. You can have your proposal message written in striking red on the top of the cake. This way your message can be both short as well as sweet!

3. A Glass of Wine
This is one of the most tried and tested method for a proposal. Make prior arrangements at a restaurant and get a glass of red wine with a ring at the bottom of the glass. This technique is extremely common and so it would be good sense to keep it as your very last option.

4. At the Beach
Write your proposal on the sand along the beach. It would be very romantic if it would be in the evening as the moon would add up to the charm and the setting will get you both in the right mood. Also try and make sure that it is just the two of you at the beach.

5. Fancy Dinner
The best setting for such a proposal would be a chic and elegant restaurant where you could have someone play the violin for the two of you. On completing dinner, just before the dessert arrives, get down on one knee and propose.

6. With Fireworks
Go impromptu to a nearby hill at night where the two of you can be alone. While you both are at the top of the hill gazing at the stars, have someone to burst fireworks in the night sky. For the finale, get your proposal written in the sky through the fireworks.

7. Message in a Bottle
Have your proposal written on a piece of paper and place into a bottle. Get a suitable wooden cork to close the bottle. Next, take him to a beach to watch the sunset and when he’s not watching, quietly slip the bottle under the sand. Try and subtly get attention to the bottle and let him find it by himself.

8. Sing a Song
Even if you are not a good singer, you can still try this. Compose a romantic song and sing it with full confidence. It would be even better if you could have an instrument to go with it. At the end of the song, put down your feelings and propose.

9. Treasure Hunt
Play a fun and exciting game of treasure hunt. Leave notes all over his place with clues on them. Arrange these i ...

Shape up for the wedding and the beach So what is the best strategy to get in shape for your wedding and beach-fit for your honeymoon? Follow our training and dietary advice so you'll look your best not only on your wedding day but also on your honeymoon..Resistance trainingInclude resistance training exercises as part of your exercise plan because by toning up your muscles, you will increase the amount of calories you burn throughout the day, even when resting. Muscle costs moreThe ‘energy cost’ of a body with toned muscles is higher than a body carrying excess body-fat so if you tone up your muscles, your engine is running faster 24 hours a day leading to further body-fat reduction. Train earlyExercising in the morning kick-starts your metabolism (the rate at which you burn calories) and the benefits can last for up to 15 hours after training.Keep your body and training balancedWhen you look in the mirror, the main muscles you see are your abdominals (stomach), chest and biceps (upper arm). Avoid over-training these areas because you will develop postural imbalances. Make sure that you tone up all round the body, not just what you see when you look in the gym mirrors.Cardiovascular exercise is keyWhen looking to tone up, it’s easy to forget about cardiovascular (CV) training. However, for a balanced health and fitness plan, CV training is essential to ensure that your body’s most important muscle, your heart, is trained too.

Abs are not enoughIf you're looking to get a slim waist for the beach, sit-ups for your abdominal muscles are just one of the exercises you should be doing. Exercises for your lower abs such as leg-only v-sits (sit on the floor with your legs elevated and alternately bend and straighten your knees) should be included, together with training for the obliques (muscles at the sides of your abdomen).

Core strength training

In addition to the heart, the other muscle group that is vital to train is your core, or deep postural muscles. Good core strength will ‘pull everything in’ as well as greatly improving your posture. If you exercise your core muscles, not only will you be able to get into last year’s swimwear, you may need to buy a smaller size...Exercising legs is importantAn additional advantage of including CV training in your beach-fit plan is that almost all CV training involves using your legs; running, cycling etc, so these exercises will tone up your leg muscles as well.

Half a kilogram is enough Attempting to lose weight faster than half a kilogram per week almost always leads to subsequent additional unwanted weight gain.If after your wedding you’ve got two weeks or more soaking up the rays on a sun-kissed beach, you’re going to want to look your best. Toned legs and upper arms, a slim waist and that ‘fitness healthy glow’ don’t appear o ...
