The messenger has beautiful feet! The human foot contains 26 bones (a quarter of all the bones of the body), 33 joints, 107 ligaments and 19 muscles. There are 250,000 sweat glands in a pair of feet which excrete up to a half-pint of sweat each day. The average person in North America takes between 8,000-10,000 steps per day which adds up to about 115,000 miles in a lifetime, or about four trips around the earth! When we walk, we exert a pressure of about three to four times our body weight on our feet with each step.
