10 Things Your Feet Say About Your Health
6. Painful heels
If you experience excruciating pain in the heel, it can be an indicator of ‘Plantar Fasciitis.’ It means inflammation of tissues around the area which causes pain. Schedule a visit to your doctor to get help.
7. Disappearing hair
Women out there might heave a sigh of relief seeing their hairless feet and toes, but beware because it may mean something deeper and more serious. Disappearing hair on the feet is often one of the first signs of poor blood circulation. Plan a visit to your doctor to know what’s going on.
8. Painful cramps
Don’t take those painful feet cramps lightly. It’s often because of nutritional deficiencies particularly of calcium, potassium or magnesium. There can be other deficiencies too, so it’s better to visit your doctor and dietitian to know what can be done to help you.
9. Numb feet
Frequent numbing of feet indicates problems with circulation and beginning of peripheral neuropathy, i.e. adversely affected peripheral nervous system. See your doctor to know more about your condition.
10. Painful feet
Though exhaustion can make your feet painful and tired, chronic painful feet can be a sign of something serious. It may mean some sort of stress fractures or other injuries that need immediate attention. So don’t take that pain for granted.
Feet say it all. Just tune in and listen to what they have to say about your health.
