Introduction : One can judge your hygiene by simply looking at your shoes or feet. Foot care tips are not only important from hygiene and having beautiful feet point of view but also for staying active and comfortable throughout your life. If your feet are not healthy, walking can become painful for you.

Foot care is more so important for people with diabetes as they have an increased risk of infections, especially in their feet. If cuts and sores get infected, the curing becomes very complicated. To avoid all these, follow foot care tips.

Tips

1. Signs of un-hygiene feet:  Check your feet often. Look for cuts, cracks, redness, blisters, swelling, change of color or any sign of trauma. Use a mirror to look at all areas of bottoms of your feet.

2. Washing: Wash your feet daily with look warm soapy water. Dry your feet thoroughly. Make sure to dry with a towel especially between the toes also.

3. Dead cells: While washing your feet, scrub them, especially the heels, with a foot scrubber regularly. This is good for removing the dead cells and keeps your feet soft .

4. Massage: Give a massage to your feet once in a week.  Add a few drops of peppermint essential oil to your massage lotion for a sensational treat to your feet.

5. Keep your feet hydrated: Before you retire for the day, wash your feet and dry them thoroughly. The skin on the soles of your feet does not have any oil glands. So to keep them soft, apply moisturizer or glycerin especially at the heels every night and pull on a pair of cotton socks before you sleep.

6. Toenails: Trim your toenails straight across and then smooth the edges with an emery board or a nail file each week or when needed. Trim your toenails after bath or shower as they are soft at that time and easy to cut.

7. Corns and Calluses: Total Foot care tips require that you take care of dead skin that forms at the pressure points such as heels, toes and bony areas of your feet. They are common, if you wear sandals or flip-flops due to the repeated friction of your feet at certain points when you move around.    Use a pumice stone or a foot file to smooth corns and calluses after bath or shower.

8. Selection of foot wear:  A good foot care tip is to make sure that your shoes fit with sufficient room to twist your toes. When you buy shoes, get your feet measured while standing and not sitting and preferably later in the day when the feet are a bit swollen.

9. Prevent smelly feet: Closed shoes and sweaty feet cause strong foul odor.  If you have smelly feet, wear sandals for air flow, whenever feasible. Avoid wearing same shoes two days in a row, so that they get chance to dry out.

10.Avoid too hot or too cold: Keep bath water at moderate temperature. As in case of neuropathy patient, they may not be able to feel even if the water is too hot and they may burn their skin. Also never use heating pads

International online casino Casino Days has published a report sharing their internal data on what types and brands of devices are used to play on the platform by users from the South Asian region.

Such aggregate data analyses allow the operator to optimise their website for the brands and models of devices people are actually using.

The insights gained through the research also help Casino Days tailor their services based on the better understanding of their clients and their needs.

Desktops and Tablets Lose the Battle vs Mobile

The primary data samples analysed by Casino Days reveal that mobile connections dominate the market in South Asia and are responsible for a whopping 96.6% of gaming sessions, while computers and tablets have negligible shares of 2.9% and 0.5% respectively.

The authors of the study point out that historically, playing online casino was exclusively done on computers, and attribute thе major shift to mobile that has unfolded over time to the wide spread of cheaper smartphones and mobile data plans in South Asia.

“Some of the reasons behind this massive difference in device type are affordability, technical advantages, as well as cheaper and more obtainable internet plans for mobiles than those for computers,” the researchers comment.

Xiaomi and Vivo Outperform Samsung, Apple Way Down in Rankings

Chinese brands Xiaomi and Vivo were used by 21.9% and 20.79% of Casino Days players from South Asia respectively, and together with the positioned in third place with a 18.1% share South Korean brand Samsung dominate the market among real money gamers in the region.

Cupertino, California-based Apple is way down in seventh with a user share of just 2.29%, overshadowed by Chinese brands Realme (11.43%), OPPO (11.23%), and OnePlus (4.07%).

Huawei is at the very bottom of the chart with a tiny share just below the single percent mark, trailing behind mobile devices by Motorola, Google, and Infinix.

The data on actual phone usage provided by Casino Days, even though limited to the gaming parts of the population of South Asia, paints a different picture from global statistics on smartphone shipments by vendors.

Apple and Samsung have been sharing the worldwide lead for over a decade, while current regional leader Xiaomi secured their third position globally just a couple of years ago.

Striking Android Dominance among South Asian Real Money Gaming Communities

The shifted market share patterns of the world’s top smartphone brands in South Asia observed by the Casino Days research paper reveal a striking dominance of Android devices at the expense of iOS-powered phones.

On the global level, Android enjoys a comfortable lead with a sizable 68.79% share which grows to nearly 79% when we look at the whole continent of Asia. The data on South Asian real money gaming communities suggests that Android’s dominance grows even higher and is north of the 90% mark.

Among the major factors behind these figures, the authors of the study point to the relative affordability of and greater availability of Android devices in the region, especially when manufactured locally in countries like India and Vietnam.

“And, with influencers and tech reviews putting emphasis on Android devices, the choice of mobile phone brand and OS becomes easy; Android has a much wider range of products and caters to the Asian online casino market in ways that Apple can’t due to technical limitations,” the researchers add.

The far better integration achieved by Google Pay compared to its counterpart Apple Pay has also played a crucial role in shaping the existing smartphone market trends.
