When Fashion Hurts

Bacton Loving fashion (especially shoes and bags) the way I do, I almost hate to talk about this topic: When Fashion Hurts. It's true, you know. Wearing high heels and carrying around big, heavy purses is slowly doing a number on our shoes, backs and necks.

That's Fit breaks down the cold hard truth. We're doing harm to our bodies all in the name of beauty.

"High heels, monster-sized purses, suntans...they may make you look like a star and in some cases even make you feel confident and happy, but are they doing your body any good? Most health experts say no. Even one day in high heels can do foot, leg, or back damage, when not done with care, and stuffing that huge designer bag to the gills is a surefire way to bring on neck and back pain. That expensive perfume? It could be full of chemicals like formaldehyde and propylene glycol."

But that doesn't mean you have to toss out your Jimmy Choo's any time soon. Don't wear heels every day, lighten the load in your purse and be aware of what your putting on your body.
