We’ve all heard how damaging super-stilettos can be to feet but now experts are warning flat shoes can be just as dangerous。

我們都聽(tīng)說(shuō)過(guò)超細(xì)高跟鞋會(huì)對(duì)腳造成怎樣的傷害，但現(xiàn)在專(zhuān)家提醒平底鞋也同樣有害。

Podiatrists are alarmed at the rising number of foot injuries caused by plodding around in ballet pumps and flip flops. Although comfortable,flat shoes can cause severe foot pain,bunions, shooting pains in the shins,back aches and even arthritis。

足病醫(yī)生對(duì)穿芭蕾平底鞋和人字拖所造成的越來(lái)越多的腳部損傷表示擔(dān)憂。盡管平底鞋很舒適，但會(huì)造成劇烈的腳部疼痛、拇趾囊腫脹、小腿刺痛、背痛甚至關(guān)節(jié)炎。

If this is not enough for you, then here’s another reason why you should ditch those frumpy flats – heels boost sex life。

如果這個(gè)理由對(duì)你來(lái)說(shuō)還不充分，那么這里還有一個(gè)你應(yīng)該丟棄那些不利于健康的平底鞋的理由——鞋跟能夠改善性生活。

Italian researchers have found women who wear a heel of one to two inches may have more fun between the sheets. The body posture adopted while wearing heels improves the pelvic floor muscles, which help to create a mind-blowing climax。

意大利研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)，女性穿一英寸到兩英寸的鞋跟性生活可能更加和諧。穿有跟的鞋子時(shí)的身體姿勢(shì)能夠鍛煉骨盆底肌肉，有助于產(chǎn)生令人興奮的高潮。
