Foot health is a key point for health and vitality in the 100-year era.
If you can't walk, all your body's functions and vitality will decline rapidly.
Walking is exercise, it creates energy, and that energy allows us to live a vibrant life, but many people only realize the importance of foot health after they have forgotten it.
Professor Kim Beom-su, a podiatrist at Inha University Hospital who has been treating foot diseases for over 20 years, introduces the know-how of foot health management that can be managed in advance before foot health is lost in the book “Foot Revolution in the 100-Year-Old Era.”

Into the book
Muscles tend to weaken and deteriorate with age if not used.
The same is true for the foot muscles, which are also muscles.
If you don't use those muscles much, they will gradually atrophy and become weaker.
--- p.29

Losing a foot or a leg is not directly life-threatening.
However, the fact that foot amputation ultimately has a higher mortality rate than cancer explains the important role that feet play in sustaining life.
The feet are not simply organs that support and move the body; they are responsible for blood circulation throughout the body along with the heart, and play an important role in facilitating metabolic activity in various organs through active movement.
So, the feet are the second heart and the root of overall health.
--- p.40

Take a look at the soles of your feet.
If the flesh on the heel and ball of the foot is thick and firm enough that you can't press it with your finger, it's in good condition.
However, if the skin is wrinkled and there is a mark that remains for a long time when pressed with a finger, it is likely to be 'fat pad atrophy syndrome'.
--- p.53

But what is not important to our body?
As it turns out, the key to foot health is the intrinsic muscles.
Literally, the foot core muscles are the core of foot health.
The 'foot core' is the main cause of various foot diseases, and in many cases, the reason why they do not improve or relapse even with treatment.
--- p.79

Will walking 10,000 steps strengthen your foot core? At first glance, it seems like it would strengthen your foot core because you're using your feet every time you walk, but that's not actually the case.
The function of the foot core muscles is to flex, extend, spread, and bring the toes together, but these individual muscles are not stimulated much when walking.
Therefore, you need to do separate exercises to accurately stimulate and strengthen each of the foot core muscles.
--- p.95

If I had to pick one thing that's most important for treating plantar fasciitis, it would be stretching.
If you stretch properly, plantar fasciitis will usually improve on its own without any special treatment.
But on the other hand, no matter how expensive the treatment is, if you don't stretch, it won't get better or it will get better for a while and then quickly relapse.

--- p.163

When your heels hurt or feel burning, you need to reduce the pressure on the front of your feet.
Less pressure can help reduce pain and burning sensation.
Pressure is affected by several factors, but the amount of pressure applied depends on how flexible your calf and Achilles tendons are.
Keeping your calves and Achilles tendons soft and flexible can help with a variety of foot conditions, including heel pain and calluses, as well as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, flat feet, and hallux valgus.

Publisher's Review
A podiatrist from a university hospital's orthopedic surgery department tells you
The foot health bible!


Professor Kim Beom-su, a podiatrist at Inha University Hospital's Department of Orthopedic Surgery, has been practicing medicine for 20 years and has seen countless patients. He offers a foot health management bible! We've arrived in an era where people can live to 100.
But it's not all about happiness.
Because living to be 100 years old and relying on others to take care of your illness is on a completely different level from living to be 100 years old and walking around happily on your own two feet.
If you want to live a healthy life until you are 100, everything is important, including bone health and mental health, but the health of your feet is also crucial.
People need to walk to exercise, and they need to exercise to feel alive and energized.


It is no exaggeration to say that the secret to living happily until the age of 100 is to walk healthily on two feet.
But most people only realize the importance of foot health after they have lost it.
Professor Kim Beom-su of Inha University Hospital, who felt sorry about this, generously included in this book the know-how on foot health management that can be used to prevent foot health loss before it occurs.

The key to foot health is foot core!
A foot health project to restore a collapsed foot core.


“My heels are tingling.”, “I went to the hospital, but they said it’s plantar fasciitis caused by aging and is difficult to treat.”, “It hurts every time I step on the floor, so I can’t walk.”

Once you lose your foot health, it is difficult to treat.
Even if you go to the hospital, the chronic symptoms do not get better and often recur.
Why is that? Because we only treat the symptoms without providing fundamental treatment.


Professor Kim Beom-su explains that the root cause and core of common foot conditions such as metatarsophalangeal neuroma, hallux valgus, plantar fasciitis, claw toe deformity, and flat feet lie in the foot core muscles.
If our body has core muscles such as the abdominal muscles and erector spinae that support the entire body, our feet have foot core muscles.
The concave part of the foot that forms the arch has a thick layer of muscles, and these muscles together are called the 'foot core'.
The foot core muscles are responsible for the stability of the foot structure, are the source of the foot's grip on the ground, and are responsible for the function of allowing the foot to push off the ground.
However, since the foot core is also a muscle, if it is not used individually, it will quietly and gradually collapse, threatening the health of the feet.

So, is there a way to determine if your foot core muscles are healthy? In "The 100-Year-Old Era: The Two Foot Revolution," we introduce a self-assessment method that allows you to test your foot core's strength.
If you straighten your toes and press them against the floor, but there is a joint that does not fully straighten, or if your other toes follow when you straighten your toes and only bend your big toe as far as possible, or if there is a gap when you straighten your toes and bring the rest of your toes together around your index toe, you may have weakened foot core muscles.


There's no need to be disappointed if you find a collapsed foot core.
Most people develop foot problems because they don't realize they have weak foot muscles, but if you know you have weak foot muscles, you have the opportunity to strengthen them and prevent foot problems.

36 Self-Exercises to Strengthen Your Foot Core Muscles


In "The 100-Year-Old Era: Two Foot Revolution," we introduce 36 exercises to strengthen the foot core muscles.
These are exercises that you can do on your own for each symptom, such as foot stretches to relieve plantar fasciitis, calf stretches to reduce heel pain, toe stretches for hallux valgus, foot core exercises for flat feet, and exercises for sprained ankles, so you can find them whenever you need them and use them effectively.

These exercises are all simple movements that can be done on your own in about 5 minutes, and have already been verified by subscribers' reviews on the YouTube channel "Professor Kim Beom-su's Easy World."
“I couldn’t walk 1,000 steps a day for a year due to heel pain, but after watching a video and following the exercises, my feet got better and now I can even walk up the mountain behind my house again.” “I suffered from plantar fasciitis for two years, but after watching a video and following the exercises, I’m completely cured.” Thanks to word of mouth from people suffering from foot pain of unknown cause, the accumulated views on YouTube have exceeded 10 million, and the number of subscribers has exceeded 120,000.

The book contains detailed tips for each movement, how many seconds to do each set, and even which muscles are stimulated for each exercise, so you can follow along whenever you have time.
Regular foot core strengthening exercises can delay the aging of your feet.
If you want to maintain the health of your feet, it's time to embark on a foot revolution right now! To ensure a lifetime of happiness and foot health, I recommend "The Foot Revolution in the 100-Year-Old Era."
