Every step works a complex network of bones, muscles, tendons and ligaments — under the whole weight of your body. No wonder feet have problems.
Four habits for healthy feet
- Look at your feet regularly.
- Wear comfortable shoes that fit.
- Wash them daily with soap and lukewarm water.
- Trim toenails straight across, and not too short.
What your feet can tell you
Your feet can give clues about your overall health:
| What you notice | What it could mean |
|---|---|
| Stiff joints | arthritis |
| Tingling or numbness | diabetes |
| Swelling | kidney disease, heart disease or high blood pressure |
Good foot care and regular foot checks are part of good health care. If your feet are giving you trouble, talk to your doctor.
