Walking into the living room, I saw two things I loved laid out before me. The first was my husband, Michael, sprawled on the sofa and selecting us a film on the TV. The other was an array of nuts, crisps, dips, biscuits and a bottle of wine. ‘Bliss,’ I thought before sitting down for the evening. While Michael and I had met in our 40s online, my love affair with food was lifelong. In my teens and 20s, I’d considered a portion of takeaway egg fried rice a snack between meals, yet stayed an effortless size 8 to 10. But with the births of my daughters, now 17 and 25, I’d piled on weight. Though my youngest only weighed 4.5lb at birth, I’d gained five stone while expecting her.…

From corns and calluses to bunions and blisters, our feet can often be the cause of discomfort and pain.

Over periods of time, this constant strain can lead to wear and tear on the muscles, joints, ligaments and bones in the feet,’ she explains. ‘Poor foot health can also affect posture and the alignment of the rest of the body, leading to problems in the knees, hips and lower back as we age.
