FOOT NEUROPATHY: 6 EXERCISES THAT RESTORE NERVES AT HOME

Burning, tingling or numb feet are common after 70, and most people only try to quiet the symptom. This video looks at what peripheral neuropathy actually is and what the research says you can do about it. You'll see how damaged nerves misfire, which everyday causes are easy to miss, and a simple 15-minute routine of six seated and chair-supported movements for neuropathy in the feet. What you'll learn: － How burning, tingling and numbness happen when the nerve "cable" is damaged － Five root causes older adults often miss, including high blood sugar, low vitamin B12 and too much vitamin B6 － Why metformin and acid-reducing medications are worth discussing with your clinician when it comes to B12 － What a University of Utah study found about nerve fibers, diet and exercise － Six chair exercises for balance, circulation and foot strength, plus three safety rules － What to ask about alpha-lipoic acid, blood tests and your supplement labels Start at half load, repeat it daily, and check your feet after every session. 👍 Like this video if it helped you understand your feet better. 🔔 Subscribe for more evidence-based health education for older adults.
