High heels can wreck your entire body

Your high heels are killing much more than you think. It was proved by the researchers from University of Albama at Birmingham. From the study they have showed that between 2002 and 2012 the high heel related injuries have been doubled. By this, experts suggest that wearing the appropriate shoes for the appropriate occasion and being aware of one's surroundings are good ideas.

“Although high-heeled shoes might be stylish, from a health standpoint, it would be worthwhile for those interested in wearing high-heeled shoes to understand the risks and the potential harm that precarious activities in high-heeled shoes can cause,” said lead investigator Gerald McGwin, Ph.D., vice chair and professor of the Department of Epidemiology in the UAB School of Public Health.

Between 2002 and 2012, there were 123,355 high heel related injuries are seen during this period. The peak year for injuries was 2011, with more than 19,000. People between the ages of 20 and 29 were most likely to suffer an injury, followed by the 30-39 age group.

“Some historians suggest that high-heeled shoes have been around for nearly 300 years and that medical professionals have been warning wearers about the dangers of such shoes for the same amount of time,” McGwin said.

So experts suggest to limit wearing heels.
