10. Frequent Fungal Infections
A sluggish liver can weaken your immune system, making you more vulnerable to fungal growth like athlete’s foot or toenail fungus.
11. Foot Cramps and Weakness
The liver regulates electrolytes like magnesium and potassium. If it’s not doing its job, you might experience frequent cramps or weakness in your feet and calves.
12. Unexplained Bruising
Notice bruises on your feet without bumping into anything? Liver dysfunction can interfere with blood clotting, causing easy bruising even from minor pressure.
When to Take Action
If you notice these symptoms, don’t brush them off. Consult a healthcare provider for liver function tests. Simple changes — like eating more leafy greens, avoiding alcohol, and drinking enough water — can make a big difference in liver health.
Final Thoughts
Your feet are like mirrors reflecting your internal health. Paying attention to small changes — swelling, itching, discoloration, or pain — could help you catch liver issues early. Take care of your liver, and your feet (and the rest of your body) will thank you for it.
