We all know the significance of diet and exercise for good health, but did you know that your feet could be telling you something about your health?
It turns out that our feet can hold a few warning signs about a serious condition, as per a pharmacist.
When was the last time you had a proper look at your trotters?
Noel Wicks, a pharmacist and advisor to Excilor, has shared the importance of getting up close and personal with the much-maligned body part.
So, what should we look out for?
He told the Express about how the feet could w:ar:n you about two serious conditions, but your socks and shoes could be hiding important information.
He shared: “We need to keep an eye on our foot health, including our toenails, because it can impact on our overall health and be a sign of [serious] health issues.”
As the blood vessels that supply the toes are small, it’s easy for them to get clogged up.
This can lead to cold, painful, swollen, or even numb feet.
As per Noel, this can be a w:ar:ning sign of heart disease which shouldn’t be ignored.
It’s not just your skin to be aware of, but also your toenails.
We know, try not to cringe.
“Thickening and brittleness of toenails may also occur with heart disease.”, he said.
