We often think that health warning signs appear near the heart, stomach, or face. Yet, your feet—yes, your feet!—can be the first to reveal a much deeper imbalance, particularly one related to your liver health.
So, if you regularly experience unexplained swelling, tingling, or itching in your feet, it might be time to pay more attention to it…
The liver, a discreet organ… but essential
The liver is a true silent hero: it filters toxins, aids digestion, regulates blood sugar, and supports the immune system. But when it's fatigued, the signs aren't always obvious. Some conditions, like hepatic steatosis (or "fatty liver"), can develop silently for years. And when symptoms do appear, they can be found in the most unexpected places: the extremities.
Signs of liver disease visible in your feet
Swollen feet? A sign of circulatory imbalance.
One of the common symptoms of liver dysfunction is edema, which is an accumulation of fluid in the lower body, particularly the feet and ankles. This can be accompanied by a feeling of heaviness or even pain at the end of the day.
