Scientists in the UK have concluded that a number of diseases can be predicted by the condition of the feet.

For example, if you have diabetes, you need to visit an orthopedist more often. After all, this disease disrupts the sensitivity of the extremities, and a person sometimes does not feel how abrasions and wounds appear.

You can also learn about the possible development of cardiovascular diseases by looking at the feet.

“A cold and pale foot can be a sign of heart disease. This is the result of impaired blood circulation due to clogged arteries. Early arthritis can be diagnosed by paying attention to the condition of the small bones and joints of the feet,” said orthopedic surgeon Michael Harrison-Blount.

In addition, problems with the feet can indicate arrhythmia or neurological diseases. Early signs of ailments are manifested by persistent muscle weakness in the limbs.
