Your foot health can be a clue to your overall health. For example, joint stiffness could mean arthritis. Tingling or numbness could be a sign of diabetes. Swelling might indicate kidney disease, heart disease or high blood pressure.
To keep your feet healthy
Examine your feet regularly
Wear comfortable shoes that fit
Wash your feet daily with soap and lukewarm water
Trim your toenails straight across and not too short
