How to care for those aching feet

Eat for the health of it.

If you are a mailman or mail lady after a day of delivering mail you may want to elevate them. Soak them in a tub of very warm water with a few tablespoons of epsom salt and a 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar.

If you have a lot of tea bags and you want to use them up before they get too old just steep 4 bags in some hot water and add them to your foot soaking water.

Massaging the feet is also revitalizing, or better yet if you can get your spouse to do it for you and take turns.

Try sitting on a chair and point your toes down as far as you can. Circle your feet around in circles both ways.

Try rolling your bare feet on a ball for awhile.

It's always best for everything if you eat healthy too. Try my all natural cookbook GRANDMA'S BACK TO BASICS ALL NATURAL MORE THAN JUST A COOKBOOK ISBN#0-8059-6286-7. Phone at: 1-800-788-7654. Order at: www.dorrancepublishing.com, BarnsandNoble.com, Books-a-million.com, Amazonbooks.com. You can ask any book store if they will order it for you if you give them the title and the ISBN#.

Laughter is healthy:

I may have told this one before but I thought it was really funny and worth a repeat:

This old man is ice fishing and after an hour or so has caught nothing. He is sitting on his camp stool by the hole waiting for a nibble when a young boy comes and makes a hole in the ice next to the old man. The young fella puts his fishing line in the hole and in no time he has a fish. The old man watches as the boy repeats this over and over. The old man finally asks the boy what he is using to have such good luck.
The boy responds, "Roo raf roo reep ra rums rrarm."
The old man says, "I can't understand a thing you are saying."
Again the boy responds,"Roo raf roo reep ra rums rrarm."
The old man says again,"I can't understand you."
The boy spits in his hand and says,"You have to keep the worms warm!"
