Conclusion
Your feet are much more than tools for walking—they are an early warning system for serious health issues. Paying attention to swelling, tingling, color changes, pain, and wounds can save your legs, your heart, and potentially your life.
Pro tip: Perform a quick foot check every morning. Look for swelling, redness, or unusual sensations. Your body may be whispering—or even screaming—for help. Don’t ignore it.
