Your feet can show early signs of systemic health problems. Poor circulation and hardening of the arteries can affect the feet before other parts of the body, says James R. Hanna, DPM, a podiatrist in Lockport, NY, and president of the New York State Podiatric Medical Association. For example, hardening of the arteries can cause pain in the feet or legs when exercising.

Maintaining good overall health can help your feet stay healthy. You'll also stay aware of health conditions that frequently cause foot problems, such as diabetes. Plus, better foot care can help improve health problems related to diabetes, obesity, and falls, Dr. Hanna says.
