3 Easy Methods That Will Save Your Too-Tight Shoes

At times when we order shoes online, we're sad to find out that it is a bit tight. Normally, on online shopping, we buy when there is discount. So, who wants to waste money over tight shoes. Thanks to some wonderful people who have found a solution, which I love sharing with  you all.

Method #1 – Freezer

You’ll need:

• Two large ziplock bags
• Water

Unzip both bags and place one inside the other. (You could use just one bag, but I like to use a second one as an added safety measure since there is water involved.)

Place the bottom of the ziplock bags into the bottom of your shoe. Use your hand to press the bags into all the nooks and crannies inside your shoe as best you can.

Once the bags are in place, carefully fill the interior ziplock bag with water until it fills up the inside of the shoe. Carefully seal the bag, then seal the outer bag too if you’re using one.

Carefully place the shoes into your freezer, and leave them there until the water inside the bag is frozen solid. As the water freezes it will expand (by approximately 9%!) and stretch out your shoes.

Remove the shoes from your freezer to allow the ice to thaw slightly. (You just need it to thaw enough that you can wiggle the bagged ice block out of the shoe!)

Once you get the ice out, your shoes should be nicely stretched and ready to wear!

Method #2 – Rubbing Alcohol

You’ll need:

• Rubbing alcohol
• Small spray bottle

Pour a small amount of rubbing alcohol into an empty spray bottle. Spray the inside of your too-tight shoes until they are slightly damp. Put the shoes on, then walk around until the alcohol dries. Repeat as necessary if your shoes are still a bit snug.

A variation on this method is to take a pair of cotton socks, soak them in rubbing alcohol and squeeze out the excess. Then put on the socks and wear with the shoes until the alcohol dries. Repeat several times if necessary.

Method #3 – Hairdryer & Socks

You’ll need:

• Hairdryer
• A pair of thick socks

Put on a thick pair of socks (or as thick as will fit!) and slip on your shoes. Aim a hairdryer on the tight section for a few seconds, while wiggling your toes and and bending your feet inside the shoe. Keep the shoes on while they cool down. If you need more room, repeat the process again.

Beware of these top 8 radiation sources at your home

That tower, outside your home should concern you and rightly so; but what about the materials and products sitting around your house that could be emitting radiation? 

From TVs, hairdryers and electric shaver to all kinds of Wifi-enabled gadgets, these devices emit electromagnetic fields (EMF), putting your health at risk.

A number of studies have linked EMF exposure with serious health issues, including a possible risk of cancer, miscarriage and a higher risk of leukemia among children. However, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO), “current evidence does not confirm the existence of any health consequences from exposure to low-level electromagnetic field.”

“As much as Internet and telecommunication have become the part of our modern lives, cell towers have become a feature of city skylines. The profusion of cellular technology and cell towers has caused a concern on the health impact of radiation of humans,”.

According to a reporter, “Even as cell phone towers are the most visible sources of radiation, there are greater issues and sources of radiation in our homes, offices and other life spaces that we are unaware of and are blind-sided to.”

“With the advent of 24x7 hyper connectivity, IoT, Smart homes, Home automation, our exposure to such radiation is only going to compound manifold. Depending upon our lifestyles and habits, we have multiplied our EMF Radiation exposures from 100X (hundred-fold) to 10,00,000X (million-fold),” he continued.

He further said, “Any device running on electricity generates an EMF around itself. Prolonged exposure to any such EMF is associated as a health risk. Epidemiological research has consistently associated high EMF with health effects (including cancer). These health risks include Autism in children, enhanced risks of Parkinson’s disease, Alzhemier’s disease and infertility in adults.” 

He noted, “While the evidence linking EMF radiation to these health hazards is scratchy and not well formed, a precautionary approach will be prudent. The risk from EMF is compounded by the fact that it is invisible and insensible.”

Moreover he listed down the top 8 EMF radiation sources that can be found inside homes. 
1. Cellphone: It is the most personal device ever and incidentally, a mini-microwave that you are carrying around.
Risk Profile: Radiation from a mobile phone increases exponentially in low coverage areas, or shadow zones. The biggest risk is the proximity of a mobile phone – it radiates at close quarters to the brain.
Hack: Use an earpiece. It helps negate upto 98% of cell phone radiation

2. WiFi: While we have problems with cell towers outside, ironically, we are at ease with a mini cell tower in a home. A WiFi after-all is a mini cell tower.

Risk Profile: WiFis are seldom switched off. Therefore we have a low inconsistent and perpetual radiation exposure.

Hack: Switch it off when not in use. Try using wired internet wherever possible.

3. Stabilizer/Inverter: These “purchase and forget” appliances are the highest sources of in-premise EMF. The older these appliances are, the greater the EMF.

Risk Profile: These devices co-habit living spaces and create high EMF even at 3-5 feet distances. Do you have a stabilizer in your bedroom? Spending long hours in your day besides these appliances and that is a key risk.

Hack: Remove stabilizer from your bedroom. Relocate inverter to any covered area outside home.

4. Old electric circuitry: EMF from electrical circuitry inside old constructions and houses can create a consistent EMF.

Risk Profile: EMF from electrical sources is stubborn and consistent. By nature residents have 24x7 exposures. 

Hack: Extremely difficult to do away with. Old wiring needs to be changed with new one.

5. Electric Shaver, Hair Dryer: These personal devices have an extremely localized EMF and are more prone to create damage due to proximity during-use.

Risk Profile: High EMF at proximity points. The tip/nozzle of these appliances can generate upto 70/100mG EMF.

Hack: Use sparingly. If using the hair dryer – maintain at least 1 feet distance between the head and the nozzle.

6. Power distribution equipment outside your home: Most of our cities and colonies/RWAs have archaic power distribution equipment. Such Infrastructure has very high EMF and flouts norms of public safety otherwise as well.

Risk Profile: As with old electric circuitry at home, old power distribution equipment (HT lines, transformers) are extremely stubborn EMF sources. The EMF could be significantly high as well and are perpetual in nature.

Hack: Maintain a minimum distance of separation of 50-100 feet from such sources.
 
7. Laptops: They carry both radiations as well as EMF profile.

Risk Profile: The underside of a laptop has a very high EMF exposure at point of contact and high proximities and can be harmful to adult fertility.

Hack: Use a laptop radiation shield to reduce exposure to device radiation from laptops.

8.  Microwave Ovens: Even if Microwave ovens are “sealed” for radiation, they still leak heavy radiation through their gaskets and front sides. As they become older, they leak more radiation.

Risk Profile: An operational microwave is a key risk to the person working in the kitchen.

Hack: Do not use a microwave for long periods and do not use it when any person is in its vicinity. Use a Microwave radiation shield.

There are others as well such as your air-conditioner, electric chimney, old TV or refrigerator that are also worth a mention. Independent assessments establish higher in-premise risk from domestic appliances, personal computing and communication devices and electrical networks. Most of the times, the risk is within.
