Tingling, numbness… what if it’s neurological?
Another rarer but equally telling symptom is paresthesia: that tingling or numb feeling in the feet. In some cases, it can be linked to peripheral neuropathy, sometimes triggered by advanced liver disease or hepatitis-related disorders.
Again, there's no need to worry too much, but it's a good idea to talk to your doctor if these sensations are frequent or worsen.
Other signs not to ignore
Although feet can be real indicators of health, other signals should also alert you, including:
Yellowish skin or eyes (jaundice)
Persistent fatigue
Abdominal pain
Dark urine or very light-colored stools
Frequent nausea
How to take care of your liver on a daily basis?
Fortunately, there are many simple things you can do to pamper your liver:
Limit alcohol consumption
Eat a balanced diet, with foods rich in fiber and low in saturated fat
Maintain a stable weight
Exercise regularly
Hydrate well
Be careful with medication: do not self-medicate for long periods
And above all: listen to your body!
If you have any doubts, it is best to consult a doctor quickly. A simple blood test can help identify a liver problem at an early stage.
Bottom Line:
Your feet can tell you a lot about your health. So if something seems unusual, take it as a gentle reminder from your body to slow down, listen to yourself... and take care of yourself.
