Sock marks left on your skin could indicate more than just needing a wardrobe update or re-size. According to medical professionals it could be a warning sign of a serious health condition.
For years the NHS has been imploring the nation to look after its heart health. Heart disease is one of the UK's biggest killers in terms of groups of diseases, with statistics indicating that someone dies from a form of heart disease every few minutes.
The British Heart Foundation (BHF) teamed up with the NHS to raise awareness and provide tools and advice on tackling heart disease. The condition caused by blood supply being blocked or slowed by a build-up of fatty tissues in the arteries. The British Heart Foundation says: “Heart and circulatory diseases cause a quarter of all deaths in the UK, that’s more than 160,000 deaths each year – an average of 460 deaths each day, or one every three minutes in the UK.”
