Do the elderly wear slippers for a long time?

After a busy day outside, I put on my slippers and relax my feet when I get home. I believe many people will do this, especially the elderly who retire at home. Old people don't often walk long distances and do heavy housework, so they wear slippers all day at home, which looks really light and convenient. In fact, wearing slippers at home for a long time is a health hazard. Old people, especially obese old people, are not only prone to fatigue, but may even suffer from flat feet. Generally, we will wear slippers with flat bottom, flat heels or no heels in our lives. Because the soles become shorter, the posture of the human body changes, and the center of gravity of the body tends to tilt inward, and our feet are prone to flat feet due to improper load. In addition, if you are overweight or obese, it is also one of the causes of flat feet. Flat feet are the collapse of the arch of the foot. Because the normal structure of our arch is destroyed, the natural elasticity of our feet is reduced, so people will feel that our feet are easy to get tired and even can't walk or stand for a long time. Therefore, flat feet will have a bad influence on people's health. When choosing slippers, choose carefully to see if they fit. Shoes that are too tight can squeeze bones, but not too big. When you walk, you will drag your feet and get tired. The sole should be thicker and the heel should be about 2 cm high, so that the weight load can be dispersed to the fulcrum of the arch as much as possible to reduce the pressure on the arch. In addition, cloth shoes with heels are light, soft, breathable and comfortable to wear, and are ideal home slippers. At the same time, wearing slippers in daily life should also pay attention to strengthening foot muscle exercise, such as walking barefoot on soft ground such as carpets to prevent flat feet.
