PODIATRISTS IN THE NEWS

NY Podiatrist Discusses Nutrition and its Effect on Foot Health

 

When most people think about nutrition and their health, they have no trouble associating the foods they eat with weight loss or heart health, says Sherri Greene, DPM, a podiatrist in New York City who practices holistic foot care. “When I explain to people that your feet are connected to the rest of your body, and what you put into your body is what makes up your body, they’re like, ‘Wow!’ When they feel better after they change their diet, then they get it,” she says.

Certain foods can increase chemicals in the body that cause tissue inflammation. This inflammation could appear in your foot as plantar fasciitis, which causes pain in the thick band of tissue that runs across the bottom of your foot, in your heel, or elsewhere in your foot.
