Metabolic neuropathies and bad diet
Metabolic neuropathies are nerve disorders linked to metabolic issues within the body, often due to conditions like diabetes, hypothyroidism, and nutrient deficiencies. Neuropathy means nerve damage, which can lead to symptoms such as pain, tingling, numbness, and muscle weakness, typically in the hands and feet. While many factors can lead to nerve damage, a poor diet plays a significant role in metabolic neuropathies, influencing the risk and severity of nerve dysfunction. Let’s examine how diet impacts metabolic neuropathies and what dietary factors patients should consider.
