Happy Feet – How to Avoid Nail Fungus

Ugly nail fungus will make your lovely little toes very unsightly indeed. Once you contract nail fungus, your nails will become discolored; they will turn either a sunny shade of yellow or a nice earthy shade of brown. Both nice colors, but unfortunately not on your toenails!

If you like to polish your nails, it might be a week or two before you actually notice that you’ve developed a nail fungus. Unfortunately nail fungus can kill the nail, and the sad truth when that happens is that your nail will fall off.

To avoid nail fungus you should avoid walking around in your bare feet in public areas. You should always wear some kind of foot protection, at least some flip flops, to avoid your feet coming in contact with fungus, which is contagious. So even at the gym, you should wear flip flops in the shower and surrounding areas.

It’s been said that apple cider has properties that will prevent bacteria buildup. Some people like to bathe their feet in apple cider to prevent bacterial growth. It’s definitely wise to keep your feet completely clean and dry.

Another thing to remember is that the type of footwear that you wear is very important. Right now people seem to love those plastic shoes that used to be reserved for gardening. Plastic shoes with no socks means lots of sweaty feet. Sweat of course creates a nice moist environment in your plastic shoes, and then guess what! Nail fungus loves to grow in warm moist environments.

You certainly want to avoid the plastic shoes. If you absolutely must wear them, wear 100% cotton socks with them, and as soon as you take them off wash your feet and dry them thoroughly.

Did you know that diet can actually help you avoid nail fungus? Eating foods high in probiotics such as yogurt and kefir can help you fight bad bacteria.

So remember to always wear at least a pair of flip flops in public, keep your feet nice and dry, and eat probiotic rich foods, and you’ll go a long way towards avoiding nail fungus forever.
