We should take a diet rich in essential nutrients every day. Only then we remain healthy and we do not suffer from any disease. But many people do not take proper nutritious diet.
Many health problems arise due to this.
Due to lack of nutrition, some symptoms start appearing in us, one of which is leg cramps. This happens mostly during sleep. When we raise our legs while sleeping, cramps occur. This causes severe pain, which does not subside quickly, which disrupts sleep. This happens again and again to many people.
But it is not only at night, some people have cramps during the day also. One of the main reasons for this is magnesium deficiency. This problem occurs due to deficiency of magnesium. Due to this, we are not able to sit or stand for a long time, there is a prickling sensation and there is blockage in the blood vessels. There is pressure on the nerves, causing cramps. Therefore, magnesium deficiency is the main reason for this problem. If we take a diet rich in magnesium, we can get relief from this problem.
When these cramps occur, certain precautions should be taken. Apply ice on the affected area and massage it lightly. This provides relief from pain. Also, keep your feet elevated by placing pillows under your feet while sleeping at night. Stretching the legs properly and doing light exercise also provides relief from pain.
Magnesium rich foods like spinach, pumpkin seeds, almonds, curd, green leafy vegetables should be eaten. Especially, bitter gourd and pumpkin are helpful in providing relief from cramps. Anemia can also be a reason for these cramps, so anemia should be checked. If there is anemia, a diet rich in iron should be taken. This will reduce the problem. Apart from this, thyroid can also be a reason for this. Therefore, if these pains are not going away, then thyroid should be checked. If there is a thyroid problem, medicines should be taken as per the doctor’s advice. This will reduce cramps in the legs.
