@nontoxicdad: Your flip-flops could be making your body TOXIC and WEAK! 🩴 ☠️ That's right - your flip-flops might be fashionable and convenient but at the cost of your posture, strength, and health! 😬 According to my good friend Bryce Johnson, when you walk around in flip-flops all the time, you’re constantly curling your toes to keep them on, which disrupts your natural walking pattern. This unnatural walking gait overworks your calf muscles and the small muscles, ligaments, and tendons in your toes, setting you up for muscle imbalances that, over time, can lead to pain, mobility issues, and potentially could even require surgical intervention if it gets bad enough. The constant toe gripping shuts off your hamstrings and glutes, leaving you with underactive muscles (this is what leads to you having a flat butt!). 👎 We aren't saying you can never wear your flip-flops, but you've got to make some changes if you want to avoid joint issues and muscle weaknesses that come with wearing the wrong ones long-term... If you want to continue wearing your flip-flops, choose some with a heel support feature so you won’t have to rely on your toes to keep them on. Bonus Tip: a little extra posterior chain TLC at the gym wouldn't hurt either 👍 #FlipFlops #Footwear #FootHealth #HealthHacks #NonToxicLiving
