As the saying goes, "All diseases start from the feet; health preservation begins with foot care!" The feet are often overlooked—people focus on easily observable parts of the body, neglecting the areas wrapped up daily, even in routine care. In fact, the feet are like the foundation of the body, safeguarding our health. When the liver develops issues internally, the feet will naturally reflect these problems.
If your liver is unhealthy, your feet will be the first to know. If your feet don’t show these 4 signs, congratulations—your liver is in good health.
1. Dry, Rough Skin on the Soles
Many people attribute dry, rough foot skin solely to dry weather or non-breathable shoes. In reality, the skin on the soles is also related to the body’s endocrine system. When liver cells are damaged, endocrine disorders may cause the skin to turn dark yellow, become dry and rough, and some people may even experience persistent foot skin peeling. At this point, pay attention to your liver health.
2. Pale Soles on Both Feet
Observing changes in the color of the soles can also reflect liver health. A healthy liver ensures normal metabolism and blood circulation, so the soles should be ruddy and delicate. When liver function declines, metabolic waste may accumulate in the blood, causing blood vessel blockages. This leads to pale, dull soles, and sometimes a feeling of weakness in the feet—do not ignore this.
3. Dry, Waxy-Yellow Soles
People with thick cuticles may naturally have slightly yellow soles. However, if your soles were previously ruddy and delicate but suddenly become waxy-yellow and rough, it is likely that liver cells are damaged. Bilirubin produced by the blood cannot be metabolized normally and re-enters the bloodstream, which may cause the soles to turn yellow.
4. Increased Palm Lines on the Soles
TCM records state that "the liver governs blood storage." The liver helps break down waste and toxins from daily metabolism. When the liver is damaged and its function declines, blood health is affected. The feet are the farthest from the heart, so a noticeable increase in palm lines on the soles is a reminder to stay alert and take good care of your liver. Additionally, experts have found that if women develop deep, rough lines on the toe side of their feet, they should be wary of endocrine disorders and other gynecological issues, and it is best to get checked.
Poor liver health not only slows down the body’s metabolism but also affects the normal function of other organs. Therefore, it is crucial to take good care of your liver. In daily life, maintain a good mood, learn to control your temper, and stay calm. After all, nothing is more important than your own health, right?
Drink plenty of water to promote metabolism, accelerate the excretion of waste, reduce damage to the liver, and ease its burden. Of course, a balanced diet with reasonable combinations of vegetarian and meat dishes, as well as consistent exercise, are also necessary. With consistent effort, everyone’s liver can stay healthy and free from related problems.
