How Your Feet Could Signal Heart Problems and Clogged Arteries
The solution? Act quickly! Prevention is your best ally to avoid complications.
How to prevent peripheral arterial disease and heart disease
Fortunately, there are simple ways to protect your heart and feet:
Move regularly: Walking, swimming, or cycling are great ways to boost your circulation. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate activity per week, or about 20 minutes per day.
Eat a balanced diet: Limit saturated and trans fats that clog your arteries. Choose fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins.
Monitor your blood sugar: Especially if you have diabetes. Properly managing your sugar levels can significantly reduce the risk of arterial blockages.
Quit smoking: Tobacco damages your blood vessels and worsens circulation problems.
See a doctor regularly: Health checkups can detect problems before they become serious.
A healthy heart for healthy feet
The connection between your heart and your feet is stronger than you might think. A healthy heart ensures optimal blood flow to your extremities. Conversely, healthy feet can be a sign of a robust cardiovascular system.
