The danger of high heels for the youngsters

High heels are becoming a problem nowadays. Girls want to start using them too early to look prettier and older as well. Unfortunately this is causing serious problems. A physiotherapist from a university in São Paulo started noticing this problem and decided to do an experiment with 50 girls between 13 and 20 years old. The results were sad. Most of them had bad pains in their backs and the majority presented a deviation in their vertebrate. These types of problems are normal for women from 40 to 50 years old not for young girls who have not yet stopped developing. The problem with high heels is that the more you use the more your legs start creating an "x" format and the more pressure you put on the fingers when instead this pressure should be put on the heels. The knees are also jeopardized because will they twist outwards, the femur stays still making the knees do too much work alone. The biggest problem is with girls between 13 and 16 years old who are in the peak of their physical growth and changes happen very fast. The fault is mainly of the mothers who allow these girls to use high heels. They should be paying attention. I remember that at the age of 16 I was allowed to use heels but very small, they almost didn’t make a difference and thanks God I have no problems nowadays. MOMS open your eyes!!!!
