We often focus on diet and exercise for overall health, but did you know your feet can reveal hidden health issues? According to pharmacist Noel Wicks, paying attention to your feet—often overlooked—could help detect serious conditions.
Warning Signs in Your Feet 🚨
Your feet and toenails may show signs of poor circulation due to clogged blood vessels. Symptoms like cold, swollen, painful, or numb feet could indicate heart disease. Thick, brittle toenails may also be a warning sign.
Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) 🦵
PAD occurs when fatty deposits block arteries, restricting blood flow to leg muscles. Many people experience no symptoms, but some feel leg pain while walking, which eases after rest (intermittent claudication).
Why Foot Health Matters đź‘Ł
Monitoring foot changes can help detect serious health conditions early. If you notice persistent issues, consult a doctor to ensure your overall well-being.
