Almost everyone experiences leg cramps. And you do not need to think that this necessarily indicates serious illness. In most cases, it reduces the foot or calves due to completely harmless reasons - a long walk, for example.
Pain in the muscles of the legs appears after a sharp reduction. This can be explained by banal lack of sleep and chronic fatigue. During too serious physical exertion (playing sports, running too long for shopping, etc.), an excess of lactic acid is formed in the muscles. This also leads to cramps. Inadequate blood flow to the legs when sitting in an uncomfortable position, low mobility, as a result of which the muscles are not sufficiently stimulated by the nerves, cold water when bathing, a lack of vitamin D, potassium, calcium and magnesium in the body are all possible reasons for leg cramps . What if this trouble happened to you? Rather, relieve the spasm, and only then deal with the causes and engage in prevention. It is hardly possible to think of a lack of vitamins in the body when the leg has been reduced.
What to do to relieve pain? Try to stretch the affected muscle. To do this, sit down, straighten your leg and try to put the heel forward as much as possible, bending the toe towards you. This will help to stretch the calf muscle. Another way: stand facing the wall forty centimeters from it, legs apart, rest your hands above your head and slowly, without taking your legs off the floor, move away until you feel that the
muscles are stretched. Do not be too zealous, there should not be too much pain. Stop and maintain this position for thirty seconds. The pain will gradually go away.
When the
leg brought down, what can
I do except exercise? An excellent remedy for such pain is massage. Choose a place in the middle of the caviar and press on it with your thumb, increasing strength. After that, for a couple of seconds, press in the popliteal fossa. Attention! This method is contraindicated in pregnant women.
It often turns out that because of the cold water in the river, he has reduced his leg. What to do to prevent this from happening again? Warm up your muscles well before climbing into water. Seizures occur due to narrowing of blood vessels due to a large temperature difference. Warming up exercises will increase blood flow and will not reduce your leg. If trouble has already occurred, you can prick the muscle with a needle or a pin. Some people who want to be prepared for any surprises specifically pin pins to bathing suits - in case they keep their foot far from the shore.
As already mentioned, the cause of seizures is often a lack of vitamin D, calcium, potassium and magnesium in the body. But we usually think that itβs just brought a foot down. What to do to prevent
muscle cramps? Take drugs or dietary supplements containing these elements, and a vitamin that helps their absorption. Eat plenty of fresh herbs, fruits, milk, cottage cheese, almonds, walnuts, raisins, dried apricots, legumes, sunflower seeds, buckwheat porridge and beets, drink mineral water. It is completely in our power.
Nevertheless, sometimes it reduces legs due to diseases such as diabetes, varicose veins, cirrhosis, damage to the thyroid gland and others. If spasms or cramps in case of circulatory disorders are frequent, do not hesitate - consult a doctor.
