High cholesterol symptoms: How long are your toenails? A warning of artery disease

Should you be diagnosed with peripheral artery disease, you need to pay extra attention to your foot care.

The Mayo Clinic pointed out that reduced blood flow can increase the risk of infection.

To look after your feet, it’s important to wash them daily, dry them thoroughly and moisturise often to prevent cracks.

“Don’t moisturise between the toes, however, as this can encourage fungal growth,” the experts said.
