Pregnancy Tips and Tricks: 3 Myths About Your Body Discomfort Debunked

Prenatal care is never a small feat – and being a mother surely is not easy. We want to walk you through the common misconceptions about prenatal care trimester by trimester. It is important for expectant mothers to prepare themselves early to manage with the physical adjustments, so as to smoothen the process of childbirth. But, we see a lot of information on the internet. What is true, what is false? Do you carry a misconception on prenatal care?

Myth 1: You should be eating for two
Fact: As much as it is important to provide optimal nourishments for your growing foetus, it is extremely important to maintain strict dietary restrictions. Limit yourself on junk, processed, and deep-fried food. Instead, balance your meals with sufficient vitamins, proteins, and calcium to ensure a rich intake of food compounds that would benefit your foetus. Cook your own meals by referring to easy-to-follow recipes. Here are some links we strongly recommend for your indulgence in tasty and healthy dishes!

Myth 2: You will gain an immense amount of weight during pregnancy
Fact: It is the sad truth, it is normal to put on 10 to 15 kg of weight during the period of pregnancy. Embrace your bump, young mothers! Only one body discomfort weight gain would lead to is swollen foot problems. A recent study reports that close to 40% of pregnant females – especially in their third trimester – struggle with foot problems such as Plantar Fasciitis and Edema. Despite many mothers’ first instinct is to spend a bomb consulting a doctor on their swollen feet, it is more important to take delicate care for your foot health. Orthotics inserts and comfortable insoles will provide rear, mid, and front foot support – providing all mothers foot relief and ease of travel even when walking for a long distance.

Myth 3: Exercising is not recommended
Fact: Absolutely false. There are many yoga and swim classes offering exclusively to pregnant mothers. Exercising is very important to relieve physical tension and release endorphins which would positively impact the physical and mental health of every expectant mother. While exercising is recommended, mothers are strongly recommended to ensure proper footwear for stability and comfort in the midst of exercising. Moreover, breaking a sweat increases metabolism rates, allowing you to eat more without worrying about extreme weight gain.

Superfeet offers a wide-range of medical-certified insoles engineered to relief foot pain and soreness. Superfeet even offers custom insoles for varying feet and sole types to optimize support and balance for prenatal care – what’s more is Superfeet retails at a reasonable price range, offering both quality and affordability.

athletes-woman

Training hard to rehabilitate from old foot injuries for upcoming marathons and sports activities? We are not unfamiliar to the constant pegging of old injuries making their return to haunt us while we prepare to train for upcoming marathons and sports activities. Of all sports-related injuries, foot injuries stand at the highest as compared to other injuries runners have inflicted.

Active runners and athletes are prone to experience conditions such as Plantar Fasciitis – or even soreness and tightness in the heels of the balls of the feet. If you find this all too relatable, read on as we unveil the go-to product that promises to unshackle the sports athlete in you.
Superfeet upholds a brand mission to encourage all adrenaline junkies to pursue an active lifestyle without barriers or boundaries of old foot injuries.

Here are 3 ways Superfeet can share its journey with you on your preparation to D-Day

1) Couple your rehabilitation routine with Superfeet insoles
Whether you are at your sports clinic appointment going through your rehabilitation routine with your physiotherapist, or simply just completing your rehabilitation routine in the gym or at home, use Superfeet insoles. Superfeet is designed based on the core principles of podiatric medicine, providing you a structured heel cup, rear foot support, and firm stabilization. This will accelerate your rehabilitation process and shorten the recovery time – altogether ensuring sufficient buffer time before you welcome D-Day.

2) Podiatric medicine-backed insole ensures fair competition amongst runners with inborn foot abnormalities
Be it Plantar Fasciitis or flat feet problems, Superfeet promises athletes of all foot types to be on the same level-playing field. Anything is possible with Superfeet for its podiatric medicine-backed insole design. Not only do the structured heel cup, rear foot support, and firm stabilization alleviate limitations of inborn foot abnormalities, Superfeet insoles are also designed for shock absorption. That means to say that Superfeet insoles are especially beneficial for those with inborn foot abnormalities.

3) Female runners – Superfeet does not neglect you!
Apart from its podiatric medicine-backed insole design, Superfeet comes in many colours and sizes for all runners and athletes. Insoles are also customizable and retailing at a very reasonable price as compared to the market prices for customized insoles. Customized insoles are useful to accommodate feet of different fit profiles – ranging from narrow to wide feet. Offering in many colours and sizes, Superfeet is specially made to celebrate all female runners.
