Constantly cold feet can be a symptom of the dangerous process of increasing cholesterol in the arteries and related consequences.

According to Medical News Today, impaired blood flow caused by high cholesterol in the blood is one of the dangerous causes of cold extremities.

< p>Discomfort and numbness may also be felt. Doctors state that these sensations arise as possible symptoms of PAD, a disease of peripheral arteries.

“High cholesterol is directly related to the risk of PAD. In patients who suffer from chronic chills, peripheral artery disease and high cholesterol are often the main cause of the disorder.”

Other symptoms of high cholesterol that appear on the legs include the following features.

• Brittle, poorly growing toenails.
• Skin damage on the feet that does not heal for a long time.
• Pain that occurs in the legs when walking or climbing stairs .
• Numbness in the legs.
• Pale, shiny or bluish skin on the legs.
• Weakness in the legs.

Doctors remind that the increased deposition of cholesterol, which continues to accumulate on the walls of the arteries, prevents uninterrupted blood supply to various parts of the body – over time, this increases the risk of potentially fatal complications.
