Kilts and Health

[Riverkilt]

Seems like any man with a leg cast would prefer a kilt to trousers. When women have leg casts they automatically switch to skirts. Men tend to cut up their trousers to make room for the cast. No need with kilts.

Maybe a few photos of kilted men with leg casts would get the idea going if properly distributed.

Perhaps to crutch manufacturers.

Certainly seems it would be more comfortable with better air circulation around the cast.

And same thing for guys with those big metal knee braces they make now.

One might think that the dreaded "jock itch" would have a harder time gaining hold if one wore a kilt.

My jock itch cleared up once I started wearing kilts regularly. Also, I'm more conscious of my health and looks in general since I started wearing kilts.

Don't believe I've come across a more unique thread of discussion.

It would make sense to me that fresh air would be more healthy than the alternative. ...though probably a bit more daring. Perhaps this is the one reason I need to begin wearing a tartan.

At the risk of dragging this topic slightly sideways, I think kilts are beneficial not only for physical health, but for mental health. My observations may be specific to America, or Texas, or Houston, or to non-kilting areas, but I have NEVER been as happy, as carefree, as outgoing, as I have been since I have been kilted.

With the caution noted above, being kilted seems to draw people's eyes and attention---and in a far more positive way than I would have guessed for the south coast of Texas!

Just in case anyone wants to do some reading.

Very good point, I agree. Kilt wearing builds self confidence in ways nothing else can. A man in a kilt is a man who is sure of himself, what he wants and where he is going, and this is an age where a whole lot of young people have lost direction.
I'm also happier in a kilt that I've ever been in any other article of clothing. Every day is an adventure, even after three years of full time kilt wearing.

Since the mind rules the body so much, a happy state of mind has got to translate to better physical health! I think so anyway.

I have MS. Since wearing kilts I have reduced my attacks by about 90%. The fact that the kilt allows me to keep my body cooler and that there is constant airflow makes the difference. When I do have to wear pants I experience problems. I have tested this theory for the past seven years. When I was first diagnosed with MS the doctor said that within 5 years I would be requiring canes or a wheelchair, I don't require any walking aids at the moment. Wearing kilts is much cheaper than the $30,000 a year I would be spending on drugs. I wish kilts were covered on the drug plan just imagine the collection I could have!
