Docs Discuss The Crocs! (The Never Ending Crocs Debate)

Docs Discuss The Crocs! (The Never Ending Crocs Debate)

Don’t look now but apparently the debate over the uber popular Crocs - those clog-like shoes in bright colors - is not over yet! Are Crocs REALLY good for our feet? After reports claiming that these plastic footwear pieces were the causes of various escalator-related accidents (children’s toes got crushed after their Crocs got stuck in these escalators), now the medical doctors are speaking and their views are, I must admit, pretty interesting. If you’re a mom who has bought Crocs for your kids or if you’re thinking of buying a pair, do read on! The views of these doctors, by the way, were given to WebMD.

Walking Barefoot Can Be Good Therapy

Walking Barefoot Can Be Good Therapy

Anyone who’s a sucker for romantic comedies would remember that scene where Robert Robert Redford walked “Barefoot in the Park” - in the 1967 movie of the same title, of course. Without looking at it from a romantic context, however, are there health benefits associated with walking barefoot? There is - if you will do it on the beach, on dew, on clean grass and on small pebbles. The perfect time for walking barefoot is at dawn if you plan to do it regularly as therapy.

Here are the benefits that you will get from walking barefoot. First, your immune system will be more resistant to colds and infections. Second, the activity itself will help clear away the cobwebs from your mind. Finally, it helps improve the blood circulation through your feet, and lowers the risks of some health problems such as arthritis, dermatitis, lung disease, obesity, tiredness and everyday physical stress.

keep on moving, mama!

I’m not a very tall woman. My son, when I was pregnant with him, decided to build himself a luxury condo. Sometimes, I think he was trying to move to a penthouse suite, the way he climbed my ribs. Mostly, he did a lot of rearranging of my insides, kicking and pushing and trying to make more room. I called him Squiggle Butt, cause he’d stick his butt against my abdomen and squirm when I patted it.

By six months, I was too big to sit at my potter’s wheel. I couldn’t reach around my belly to throw clay anymore. By eight months, I was big as a house and shaped like a torpedo, all the way out to there and then some. I remember walking home on a mild day from the local farmer’s market. It was only seven or eight city blocks, and pre-pregnancy, I’d be home in no time. But there I was, shuffling along–correction… waddling along–slowly down the street, my little bag of fresh fruits swinging jauntily from one arm, my belly proudly pointing the way. It took an absurd amount of time to make it from one end of a block to the other, but I was determined to walk this baby into a healthy delivery, and I made my Saturday Night Live parody sort of way towards home.

And old woman passed me like I was standing still.

I was so pregnant that, by the time I finally walked past her house, she was already on her knees in her front garden, and had planted half of the flowers in her beds already. It took me an hour and a half to make it home.

To all you pregnant mamas out there, I say, “Keep on waddling! Um. Walking.”

Portland Underground

Portland Underground

The city of Portland has as sordid an underground history as my home city of Seattle does, and, like Seattle, it makes for a fun walking tour.

There were plenty of nefarious deeds going on above ground, but the underground was where the really fun stuff was happening.  In the subterranean world of Chinatown, you can still see impressive architecture from years gone by, looking nothing like the modern city in the photo. 

Below ground you’ll ...
