Three-Inch Heels Can Be Healthy
Women have been told for decades that high heels contribute to leg and foot pain but fears that stilettos could lead to knee arthritis are unfounded. Three-inch heels actually reduce the risks of joint problems, according to researchers at Warwick University, in England, the Daily Telegraph reports. The study finds high heels did not cause knee problems but being overweight before age 40, doing demanding physical work and previous knee injuries did, says study author Margaret Thorogood, of the Warwick University Medical School. In fact, there's a link between regular dancing in 3-inch heels and a reduced risk of knee problems.
