FAQ
1. How often should I examine my feet?
Weekly is ideal, but individuals with diabetes or circulation issues should check daily.
2. What if my feet are always cold?
Cold feet can stem from poor circulation, anemia, or thyroid issues. If it’s consistent, consult a healthcare provider.
3. Are cracked heels normal?
Occasional cracks can result from dryness, but deep fissures may indicate vitamin deficiencies or overpressure on the heels.
4. Should I be concerned about tingling?
Yes—persistent tingling or numbness may signal nerve problems and should be evaluated.

Absolutely. Your feet reflect circulatory health, nerve function, systemic inflammation, and stress levels.
