What Do Your Feet Tell You About Your Health

The legs carry the weight of the whole body from one day to the next, for many hours in the tube. Our feet are sore easily and need special care. Annoyingly, however, the feet receive little attention, and attention is only paid to the health of the feet until they are already in pain.

Did you know that it is possible to identify many health problems, both physical and mental, simply by examining the legs?  Reflexology is a method of reviving the body’s own resources. Reflexology, or reflexology, can be used to remove and open up tensions and blockages in the body that can be the cause of various diseases and disorders. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at how taking care of your feet takes care of your entire body. Keep reading to find out what your feet are saying about health!

Feet and their connection to health

One of the easiest ways to examine your own health is to feel and look at your feet for changes. Keep an eye out for these things in particular:

• There are many blood vessels of varying thickness in the legs and toes. When a lot of blood vessels are visible, it is a sign that the blood circulation in the legs is working and blood can flow through the legs without obstruction. When blood vessels sink deep into the skin and are not visible, this is a sign of slow and poor blood circulation. This can sometimes be due to poorly fitting shoes or too tight socks. So check that you are wearing the right kind of clothes.

• Sudden and persistent pain in the legs can be a sign of a nutrient deficiency, too little fluid in the body, or poor blood circulation. It is important to find the cause of the pain and seek the right kind of treatment for it.
• If you are an active mover or athlete and suffer from severe leg cramps all the time, too little hydration may be the cause. This is easy to treat by making sure you drink enough fluids during the day and especially during exercise. As a rule of thumb, one liter of water should be drunk for every hour spent on strenuous exercise. At least two liters of water should be drunk during the day. If you know you drank enough water during the day, the cramping may be due to a lack of magnesium, calcium, or potassium, for example.

• One clear sign that something is wrong is an ulcer on the sole of the foot or elsewhere in the foot, or a sore spot that doesn’t seem to heal at all. This can be a sign of diabetes, as many people with diabetes have ulcers that heal slowly or not at all. Nerve damage is also common in the legs.
• Constantly cold feet are a sign that the thyroid gland is not functioning normally. You may suffer from hyperthyroidism. Another possible explanation is lazy and slow blood circulation, in which case the blood does not circulate properly in the legs and hands. We recommend that you seek medical attention if your feet are constantly like ice cubes.
• Swollen feet can be a sign of impaired kidney function and fluid buildup in the body. Certain medications can make the swelling worse.

Remember these too!

It is important to keep an eye on the condition of your feet and seek medical attention if you experience pain, sores, or changes in blood flow to your feet. Many leg symptoms can be a sign of some major health problem. Also, be sure to rub your feet, let them rest enough during the day, and clean and grease especially the heels and other easily hardened areas – this will avoid painful hardening and blisters.
