I never had swollen feet except once.
I drank kunu.

Check your sodium level.
It's shouldn't be low

It's some how normal in naija for pregnant women to have swollen feet
But the truth, is it signals a low in a particular micro nutrients. Doctors over to you
It's common and normal for pregnant women to experience swollen feet or swelling in the face due to fluid retention. Edema in pregnancy usually happens when the foetus puts pressure on blood vessels and organs. Sodium intake should be reduced while potassium should be encouraged. When the sodium increases, hypertension is close by. Then miscarriage could follow if the hypertension is not managed properly. The major cause of edema in feet of people who aren't pregnant is heart disease. Anything that affects the heart would disturb the kidneys cos both of them are connected. So keep your heart healthy and your kidneys would be forever grateful.

LOL. its usually a sign of heart condition / kidney failure

Adanambra1:
4/ Swollen or puffy feet?

This often means your body is holding excess water, usually due to high blood sugar.

In diabetes, more sugar means more fluid retention.

Cutting sugar is one of the fastest ways to bring the swelling down.

It's true that our feet can reflect certain health conditions — especially in extreme cases of poor circulation, nerve damage, or vitamin deficiencies — we should be cautious not to overgeneralize or cause unnecessary fear.

Not every man who drinks alcohol is automatically at risk of liver failure or foot-related complications.

1. Moderate alcohol use is not the same as alcohol abuse.
Occasional or moderate drinkers may never experience the symptoms described. The real concern is chronic, heavy, long-term alcohol consumption, especially when paired with poor diet and lack of exercise.

2. There are many causes for foot issues.
Tingling or numbness in the feet can result from diabetes, poor footwear, spinal issues, dehydration, or even sitting for long periods — not just alcohol. A proper diagnosis is essential.

3. Supplements aren't always the answer.
While Dr. Eric Berg recommends magnesium and benfotiamine, it’s important to note he has no medical license and is a controversial figure in the medical community. Self-medicating without lab tests or a doctor’s guidance can do more harm than good.

4. Fear isn't a health strategy.
Encouraging men to take care of their health is important, but shaming or fearmongering isn't effective. Health conversations work better when they’re based on empathy, facts, and practical steps — not scare tactics.

5. Let’s talk about lifestyle, not just symptoms.
Instead of saying “Look at your feet, you're in danger,” let’s encourage men to eat better, sleep well, reduce stress, move their bodies, and drink responsibly. That's more sustainable than focusing on a single body part or supplement.

Yes, the body gives warning signs — and the feet can be one of them. But health is complex. Instead of jumping to conclusions based on one observation or a social media doctor, let's promote balanced habits, real medical check-ups, and smart choices.

Men, your health matters. But you deserve clarity, not fear.

According to Dr Eric Berg


Your feet can reveal serious warning signs…

Not just about your liver, but your entire body.

Here are the 9 most important:


Your feet are the farthest point from your heart.

This means they receive the least oxygen, nutrients, and blood flow.

When something goes wrong inside your body, your feet are often the first place it shows.

Here’s what to watch for:


1/ Burning, tingling, or numb feet?

This is often an early sign of peripheral neuropathy, caused by a vitamin B1 deficiency.

Sugar and alcohol drain your B1 levels fast.

To restore nerve function, use benfotiamine, a form of B1 that actually reaches your nerves.

2/ Blue toes or fingers?

This can signal an overactive sympathetic nervous system, your body’s stress response.

Instead of calcium channel blockers, try magnesium glycinate.

It relaxes blood vessels and calms the nerves.
Aim for 400 to 800 mg daily.

3/ Foot cramps at night or early morning?

This is a classic sign of magnesium deficiency.
These cramps may also hit your calves.

Take magnesium glycinate consistently for several weeks to restore levels.

Most people are deficient, and blood tests often miss it.

tuoyoojo:
Puffy feet can be a symptoms of congestive cardiac failure,kidney failure or problems with the lymphatic circulation.

I don't think high blood glucose can cause pedal edema
You are right bro. It is typical of CCF AND KIDNEY DISEASE. NOT RELATED TO INCREASE IN BLOOD SUGAR LEVEL. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A PATIENT WITH HIGH BLOOD SUGAR LEVEL WITH PITY OEDEMA. IF HIGH GLUCOSE, HIGH CHOLESTEROL AND HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE COMBINED TOGETHER CAN RESULT TO STROKE IF NOT MANAGE WELL.

Another one is liver patch cases. A situation where the feet or back of your palm changes colour . That is, it darkens. In some cases, the face too, darkens not as a result of sun exposure.

This are indications of poor liver health that goes ignored for a long time cos they don't come with painful symptoms.

Your liver and kidneys must be closely monitored to avoid rude shocks at a time you may think you have arrived.

The one people ignores more is the kidneys.

The kidneys does most of your body filtering of waste products that must leave your body in no time.

While you are taking care of your liver pls don't ignore your kidneys

Ignorance. Hundreds of years ago many diseases were killers. Remember the bubonic and black plaques that wiped out millions. Even tuberculosis, polio etc were killer diseases. Improvement in science has helped humanity
