Is being able to touch your toes indicative of flexible coronary arteries?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: I am not sure what the link between being able to touch your toes has with your coronary circulation. Being able to touch your toes is more a function of physically being able to bend (i.e., abdominal fat) and flexibility. Further, not sure what "flexible" coronary arteries are. If one faints when touching their toes, that may be a sign of a heart valve problem or carotid blockages.
