Your feet can offer insights into your overall health, according to one doctor, who says they can show early indications of conditions from diabetes to cardiovascular issues

Living in Ireland our feet are often hidden away in socks and shoes for most of the year. However, as summer approaches, we get the chance to let our feet breathe a bit more.

Dr Ashrafi stated: "Your feet mirror the health of your internal organs and systems, offering clues about your overall well-being. Foot health can reveal conditions ranging from circulatory issues to systemic diseases, making them an essential part of routine health assessments."READ MORE: Hay fever hack that can actually work and save you a small fortuneColour changes Dr Ashrafi explained: "Discolouration of the feet can indicate various health issues.

Swelling Dr Ashrafi said: "Swelling is a common symptom of a foot or ankle injury. Elevate your foot and try not to put too much pressure or weight on the affected leg. An ice pack or compression bandage can also help reduce the swelling. "If left untreated, oedema can cause swelling that gets more and more painful, along with difficulties in walking. Persistent swelling, alongside other symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue and rapid or an irregular heartbeat, can be a sign of a more serious health condition such as heart failure, as the heart weakens and gradually fails to pump blood as it should."
