Be careful!! Your feet could reveal various health issues!!

Posted on: 08/Nov/2021 10:41:05 AM
Before any other parts in our body would show symptoms about a disease or health issue in us, our feet would show the symptoms first!!

It is possible that we would be able to identify most health conditions and other nutritional deficiencies by looking at the feet. Normally, our feet don’t get the attention from us just like we give attention to other parts.  Only when we get injured or get a sprain in our feet, we would pay attention and take care of our feet. Not many of us know the fact that the feet have got 33 joints and 100 muscles, ligaments and tendons etc.

Various healthy issues or disease we could know by looking at our feet are

Swelling, pain and redness of toes:

When uric acid crystals get accumulated, then we could get swelling, pain and redness in our toes. Point is that this would happen due to the high uric acid levels in the blood and it is called gout.  A person might get throbbing pain in his or her foot and radiating to toes then the person might have Morton’s neuroma issue.

Change or curving of toes:

It is important to note that when this happens then we must get checked for heart and lungs. The reason for this issue could be due to less supply of oxygen in the blood. A person might have issues in breathing and heart rate changes etc. Crohn’s disease could also result in toe nail changes in us.

Loss of toe hairs:

Reduced levels of blood circulation are often indicated by sudden loss of toe hairs. Truth is that it could lead to vascular diseases due to high levels of cholesterol. This could lead to stiffening and narrowing of blood vessels.

Feet cramps:

Signs of malnutrition or dehydration and nerve issues are revealed by craps in the feet. To overcome this, we must consume calcium, magnesium and potassium rich foods. We must have enough quantities of drink water compulsorily.

 Cold feet:

Underactive thyroid in us is revealed by cold feet. The person would also have hair loss, dry skin and vertigo etc. High BP, poor blood circulation etc would also be revealed by cold feet in us.

 Yellow and thick toe nails:

Fungal infection in the toe nail is shown by yellow and thick toe nail. The nails would smell bad and might become dark in colour also. Though painless in the beginning, this might spread to other toe nails and finger nails also when left untreated.

Feet wounds healing slowly:

The body extremities like feet would get reduced blood supply when a person has diabetes. This could lead to the damage/ death of cells plus called necrosis issue.

White and blue toes:

Raynaud’s disease in us is shown by the white toes initially and then toes would turn blue etc. Later, toes would turn to their natural colour after reddening. This would be due to sudden narrowing of arteries or vasospasms. It is believed that changes in temperature and stress could result in vasospasms.
