What your legs tell about your health

By Rishabh Raj

1

Balding toes

Bald or hairless toes could indicate poor blood circulation. Poor blood flow to the feet and toes is often caused by peripheral arterial disease (PAD).

2

Morning foot pain

Burning foot pain that happens when you take your first few steps out of bed can indicate arthritis, which causes joint inflammation and discomfort, even in small foot joints.

3

Cold Feet

Cold feet can happen if you smoke, have high blood pressure, or suffer from heart disease. Another reason could be nerve damage from uncontrolled diabetes.

4

Colored toes

Raynaud's Syndrome can make your toes change color (white, bluish, and red). This happens because the arteries suddenly narrow, causing something called vasospasms.

5

Clubbed toes

Clubbing, characterized by rounded, downward-curving nails, is mainly caused by lung disease and may also indicate heart, liver, or digestive issues.
