Tired all the time?


If you are tired all the time it could be because of your feet according to one study. The human body is made to move but it must move efficiently or excessive amounts of energy are expended which may lead to fatigue.

An extensive study showed that women with flat feet consumed more oxygen, their heart rate was faster, blood pressure was higher, and they wasted more energy while walking. After placing flexible orthotics in their shoes to support the three natural arches in their feet all these factors lowered.

So, if you are tired all the time and do not know why then you may want to consider your feet as a contributing factor to this disheartening condition. Just remember to use a flexible arch support that supports all three arches of your feet.
