Adopt healthy habits to maintain your heart and foot health
Prevention plays a crucial role in preventing complications related to PAD and coronary artery disease. A healthy lifestyle, including regular physical activity, a balanced diet, and controlling blood sugar and cholesterol, helps maintain healthy arteries and a healthy heart. Avoiding tobacco is also essential for promoting good blood circulation.
When should you consult a healthcare professional?
Any sensation of numbness, cramping, or slow wound healing should be reported to a doctor for further evaluation. Early intervention can prevent serious complications such as heart attack or amputation. Carefully monitoring the signals sent by your body, especially your feet, is essential for maintaining good overall cardiovascular health.
