Stinky Feet Solutions!

Runners feet stink! Yes, true for almost every single one of us! We sweat in our shoes and wear wicking socks to get the moisture away from our skin, but they still stink! Why?

The foot funky odor is usually due to bacteria and fungus. Your feet sweat and have the same type of sweat glands as your arm pits. Your pits stink too, but that's another blog....

Seriously, the home remedies for stinky feet include everything from soaking in ice tea, apple cider vinegar, Listerine, organic corn meal, rubbing alcohol, warm Jello, bleach and vodka.....really!

Sounds ridiculous, but if your feet stink you will try just about anything.

Two things that have a little more science behind them is to add zinc to your diet. Take 50 mgs twice a day and this will help if any of your foot odor is due to a zinc deficiency. Check your multivitamin, because you may already be taking zinc daily and not realize it.

Sanifeet solution is a better scientific way to kill 99% of the foot odor causing bacteria and fungus. This is a soaking solution that you use 10 minutes two or three times a week to maintain clean sanitized feet! This is available at both the Grapevine and Keller, TX Healthy Steps locations!
