Are you over 45 years of age? Do you feel stiffness in your legs as soon as you wake up in the morning? Do your knees start giving up while climbing stairs?
If your answer is “yes”, then this post is for you.
Some time ago a 58 year old man met me. He told that after getting up from bed in the morning, it feels as if an iron rod has been inserted in his legs. It takes several minutes to stand straight, climbing stairs has become difficult and I even wake up at night due to stiffness in my calves.
The surprising thing is that this problem has become very common today after 45 years.
Why does this happen?
After the age of 35, the muscles of the body gradually start becoming weak. There is deficiency of calcium and vitamin D in the bones. Besides, the blood circulation of the body also does not remain the same as before.
outcome?
✔ Muscle weakness
✔ Weakness in bones
✔ Stiffness in joints
✔ Pain and fatigue in legs
But the good thing is that many people can benefit from some simple home remedies and good habits.
1. Fenugreek seeds and walnuts
Fenugreek helps reduce joint inflammation and the omega-3 present in walnuts supports the muscles.
Soak 1 teaspoon fenugreek and 2 walnuts separately in water overnight.
In the morning, drink fenugreek water and eat fenugreek and chew walnuts.
2. Black sesame seeds and raisins
Black sesame is considered a good source of calcium while some minerals present in raisins can help in the utilization of calcium.
Soak 2 spoons of black sesame seeds and 8-10 raisins overnight.
Eat both in the morning after drinking water and chewing them thoroughly.
(People with diabetes should take raisins in small quantities or consult a specialist.)
3. Flaxseed and dates
If there is a cracking sound or stiffness in the joints, then this remedy is considered useful.
Take 1 teaspoon lightly roasted flaxseed powder mixed with milk and eat 2 dates along with it.
4. White Musli and Almonds
In Ayurveda, Safed Musli is considered to be a tonic.
Soak 10 grams of white musli in milk and 10 almonds in water overnight.
In the morning, drink lukewarm milk and eat almonds.
5. Fennel and Makhana
If there is stiffness or cramps in the calves at night, then this remedy is used by many people.
Soak 1 teaspoon fennel in water and 10-12 makhanas in milk at night.
In the morning, drink fennel water and eat fennel and consume milk along with makhana.
Adopt these 3 habits also
