Friends, you must have seen many people around you that they are troubled by cracking heels and keep hiding them, this causes embarrassment, this problem is usually caused by dryness, not taking proper care of the skin, hormonal changes or accumulation of dirt. Lack of nutrients in the body also plays an important role in this. Iron deficiency, let's know the complete details

Why do heels crack?

Dryness in the body - Lack of moisture makes the skin dry and increases the chances of cracks in it.

Wrong skin care routine - Due to lack of care of the feet, dirt accumulates and infection occurs.

Hormonal imbalance - Changes in the body can affect the texture of the skin.

Lack of nutrition - Especially the lack of essential vitamins and minerals.

Role of Iron Deficiency in Cracked Heels

Reduces skin moisture – Iron deficiency reduces skin moisture, leading to dry skin.

Reduces collagen production – Iron is essential for collagen, which keeps skin soft and healthy.

Causes roughness and bleeding – Severe deficiency can lead to painful cracked heels.

Weakens the skin layer – making the feet more prone to infection and peeling.

How to prevent cracked heels naturally

Green leafy vegetables (spinach, kale)

Iron-rich fruits (pomegranate, apples)

Nuts and seeds (almonds, pumpkin seeds)

Whole grains and legumes (brown rice, lentils, chickpeas)

Along with diet, keeping feet clean, moisturized and protected can help prevent cracked heels.

Would you like me to make it shorter and more social media friendly (like a carousel/shorter posts) or keep it in this long blog style?
