Many individuals suffer from frequent or chronic sweaty feet. As a result, they may experience wet socks and odor emitting from both their feet and from their shoes. The socks you are wearing could contribute to such issues or simply not help with decreasing the problem. Of all the socks and different materials there is one that helps with sweaty or extremely moist feet, which is merino wool socks.

Quality merino wool socks are lightweight and have a liner inside, which helps keep the feet dry. Furthermore these socks are known to have exceptional insulation materials, this means that these socks will keep your feet cool and dry in the summertime and warm in winter season. This is especially important for individuals with overheated/sweaty feet.

Additional benefits to merino wool socks include being able to absorb moisture, quick drying benefits, are naturally anti-bacterial due to its chemical formula, and lastly help eliminate odor. These socks have a fiber that blocks out microbes thus not being able to feed onto the sweat. It also helps sweat to evaporate. Even more interesting, the merino wool is able to absorb 35% of its own weight!

Although there are several other materials of socks that are good for absorbing moisture, they are not capable of providing all the additional benefits of the merino wool socks nor do they absorb as much moisture. Other materials may also absorb the moisture but not have the fibers for it to evaporate, therefore leaving the socks damp. If you suffer from frequent moisture or sweat consider quality merino wool socks, and consider brands such as WigWam or SmartWool.

Health Risks of Not Treating Nail Fungus

There are a large percentage of people who suffer from nail fungus who give up fairly quickly when they do not see the result they want or improvement. Moreover they make an executive decision to simply leave their nails as is, ignore the problem, and do not realize that they are not only allowing the nails to worsen, but they are also putting their own health at risk in the process.

Nail fungus, although external, often affects individuals internally over time. When a nail first appears, it begins to form fungal spores, which happens almost immediately. Once the spores are alive they begin to multiply to other parts of the nail, begin forming on the adjacent nails, and form on the surrounding skin as well thus, giving the fungi a place of potential residence of their choice. This often results in the nails becoming discolored, thinning/thickening, and causing pain.

Furthermore, twenty-five percent of nail fungus cases prove that the fungi travel to other parts of the body such as fingernails, hands, legs, and even your back! The fungus is alive and has potential to form in any part of the body when going untreated. Leaving the fungus untreated often results in creating gaps and cavities that allow bacteria to enter and cause an infection. This is especially important for patients who already have weak immune systems or diabetics.
