Hi you all we are going to talk about the best topic there is. Feet! Doesn’t that just sound sexy? We are about to find out some fun tips about our feet, dog feet, baby feet, every foot. Just a tip filled article that will blow your mind with some of the strangest things! You all set up and prepared?

·      You know how babies feet are just so adorable and pudgy. It’s because all babies are born with a pad of fat where an arch would normally be in an adult foot, which makes them appear flat and cutely chubby. In fact, arches don't usually show up until children are about 2 ½ years old

·      It always quicker for your manicure to grow out before your pedicure and that because your toenails grow much more slowly — about 1 mm per month, according to the American Academy of Dermatology. Whereas fingernails grow an average of 0.1 mm a day, it takes at least five to six months to grow an entirely new toenail.

·      Hint Hint, Wink Wink for the fellas. How to know if a woman wants you, just look at her feet. A UK study covered in the Telegraph found that when a woman is attracted to a man, she's likely to move her feet away from her body, in a more open stance. Signs she’s not interested? Sitting cross-legged or with her feet tucked under her body. While men don't display attraction through their foot position, a study author Geoffrey Beattie, PhD, found that men tend to move their feet more when they're nervous, while jittery women keep their feet still.

·      Going barefoot is best for your feet, joints and overall posture. A South African study in the podiatry journal The Foot, in 2007, studied 180 modern humans from three different population groups (Sotho, Zulu, and European) and compared them to 2,000-year-old skeletons. The researchers concluded that people had healthier feet and posture before the invention of shoes. The Zulu, who often go barefoot, had the healthiest feet of the modern humans. So if your feet hurt or back aches, walk around barefoot for a little while and see how well that works.

·      Animals can be divided into “plantigrades” — creatures that walk on the whole of their feet (like people, bears, baboons, alligators and frogs) – and “digitigrade” – creatures that walk on their toes (like dogs, cats, birds and dinosaurs).

·      Butterflies taste with their feet, gannets incubate eggs under their webbed feet and elephants use their feet to hear – they pick up vibrations of the earth through their soles.

·      Squirrels and dogs have sweaty feet: their sweat glands are between the footpads and paws between toes,; when they get hot or excited they leave wet tracks. They also use foot sweat to mark their territorial trees. For humans the sweat glands in your feet produce half a pint of moisture everyday, you have over 250,000 sweat glands they should be doing something. Also did you know the average person takes 10,000 steps a day that is 115,000 miles in a lifetime you can circle the world 4 times. Unsurprisingly, you know the average woman walks 3 more miles a day than the average male.
