Did you know that your legs can give early warning signs about underlying health conditions? The older you are, the more relevant this becomes! The following conditions that affect the legs can provide insight into your longevity and overall health.



1. Peripheral neuropathy

These symptoms of numbness, pain, tingling, or burning in the bottom of the feet or fingertips are often associated with diabetes. High levels of sugar in the bloodstream destroy the vascular and nervous systems.


2. Ankle and foot edema

Puffy legs and ankles, or pitting edema, often signify a serious problem with circulation involving the kidney, liver, or heart.


3. Restless legs syndrome

This often occurs at night and is related to the overconsumption of sugar. Interference with your sleep can decrease longevity. Dietary changes, vitamin B1, and magnesium may help improve this condition.


4. Deep vein thrombosis

Clots in the legs can break off and travel to the lungs. Around 90% to 95% percent of heart attacks are caused by clots.


5. Peripheral artery disease

This type of atherosclerosis goes beyond the arteries of the heart and is caused by damage to the endothelial layer of the arteries.


6. Chronic venous insufficiency

This is associated with a sedentary lifestyle and puts increased pressure on the heart.


7. Sarcopenia

Age-related muscle loss is one of the top predictors of mortality. Protein and exercise are vital, especially as you age.


Type 2 diabetes and blood sugar issues cause problems with the inside of the arteries, which often show up in your legs first. A low-carb diet and intermittent fasting can help reverse these issues, but this is often ignored by doctors. Benfotiamine and alpha-lipoic acid can also help with associated peripheral neuropathy.


The soleus push-up can significantly improve your blood sugar and circulation, and the sitting-standing test is an excellent indicator of hip and core strength.


Potassium, a low-carb diet, and the Soleus Push-up can all help improve edema and reduce excess water weight. Increasing nitric oxide supports the inner walls of the arteries, and consistent exercise and a sufficient amount of sleep can help strengthen the legs and increase longevity.
