5
Eighty percent of people
overpronate (that is, their
feet turn inward) when they
walk. This causes the arches
to collapse and the ankles to roll when
walking. The body must make adjustments to maintain balance, stressing
muscles and misaligning joints, which
can result in inflammation and pain
throughout the body.
6
Foot cramps after exercising
may be due to simple dehydration, but cramping can also be a
sign of a more serious circulation issue
or nerve damage.
7
Sores that won't heal
might be caused by diabetes or skin cancer, the
result of damaged nerves
and poor circulation.
These sores are prone to infection, so
keeping feet clean and dry is imperative.
8
Tiny holes or ridges in the toenails
may be caused by psoriasis, an
autoimmune disease.
9
Cold feet that won't
warm up is symptomatic of hypothyroidism,
a condition that, if left
untreated, can result in
hair loss, depression, fatigue and weight
gain. Chronic cold feet have also been
linked to smoking, high blood pressure,
anemia and heart disease.
10
Hot feet that produce a
burning sensation are
common among people
with diabetes who have nerve damage.
Other causes include hypothyroidism,
poor circulation, kidney disease, athlete's foot and vitamin B deficiency.
Bonus Fact!
Your feet comprise
about
25 percent of all of
the
bones in your body
. There
are 50 bones, 60 jo
ints and
more than 200 mus
cles,
ligaments and tend
ons.
11
An enlarged big toe that is painful, red and swollen could be due
to infection, trauma, gout or arthritis.
12
Neuropathy-or
tingly, numb feet-
is commonly caused
by diabetes, chronic
alcoholism or chemotherapy. Shoes that
are too tight may also contribute to foot
numbness, due to a pinched nerve in the
foot, ankle or back.
13
Red streaks under the
toenails might be broken blood vessels known
as splinter hemorrhages, a signal of
a possible infection of the heart's
inner lining, a condition known
as endocarditis.
14
Pain in the heal is often plantar fasciitis, a strain of the
ligament supporting the arch. This is
a common ailment for people wearing shoes that don't fit properly or are
worn out.
15
Other foot pain
could be linked
to a stress fracture, or small
crack in a bone,
caused by intense exercise, such as distance running or basketball.
16
When feet and toes
appear swollen, round
and wide-a condition
described as "clubbed"-it could be
due to lung cancer or heart, liver or
intestinal disease.
17
A dark, vertical line
underneath a toenail
may be melanoma, a
form of skin cancer.
18
White toenails can be a
sign of liver or kidney disease or congestive heart
failure; however, partially white nails
might be due to illness, injury, infection
or psoriasis.
19
Spoon-shaped
or depressed
toenails could
be a sign of an
iron imbalance,
anemia (low red blood cell count) or
lupus (an autoimmune disease of tissues
and organs). ■
