What Your Feet May Reveal About Your Heart Health
Feet as Health Indicators
Our feet can reveal more than wear and tear—
they may reflect how well the heart and circulatory system are working.
“Paying attention to these subtle signs may encourage
timely conversations with a healthcare professional.”
Signs to Watch
Persistent coolness in the feet, swelling in ankles,
or changes in skin color—pale, bluish, or purple—can signal circulation issues.
Additional Symptoms
Numbness, tingling, slow-healing sores, or leg cramping that eases with
rest may indicate reduced blood flow or circulatory problems.
Taking Action
If you notice these changes, consult a healthcare professional.
Routine checkups that monitor heart health and circulation help detect issues early.
“Noticing what your feet are telling you is a simple but meaningful
step toward protecting your health.”
