As people get older, leg soreness, leg pain, and leg cramps will inevitably occur. Many people think this is a calcium deficiency.

Yes, calcium deficiency is a common cause of leg cramps, but if your symptoms do not improve after calcium supplementation, do not hesitate to see a doctor, because this may be "hardening" of blood vessels!

Arteries of the lower extremities will "harden"

Lower extremity arteriosclerosis obliterans is a relatively common senile disease. It is caused by the stenosis of blood vessels in patients due to arteriosclerosis problems in China, the slowing down of blood flow, and the reduction of blood flow, which causes insufficient blood supply capacity of the students' lower limbs.

Due to the lack of blood supply, in the early stages of the disease, symptoms such as lower limb swelling, colds, cramps, pain, etc., many people think that this is just a sign of aging and does not need to be taken seriously.

In severe cases, she may limp intermittently, which limits her ability to move. As a result, she felt uncomfortable when she was not walking, but when she was walking, she felt pain and had to stop and rest. After a period of rest, the discomfort disappeared and you can walk again.

Although we usually rarely study the systemic disease of listening and speaking ability, in fact, the incidence of this disease is not low. According to statistics, the incidence of different people over the age of 70 is 15%-20%.

In addition to limiting our ability to move, this disease can also cause gangrene if we are not paying attention!

More importantly, atherosclerosis is usually a sign of systemic atherosclerosis.

Once a person's blood vessels in the lower limbs have problems, then this indicates that his (her) blood vessels in the whole body are facing a crisis!

#Appearance Tips

If the skin color changes, the body temperature decreases, and the arteries of the feet become weak or missing, atherosclerosis of the lower extremities is more likely to occur.

"Hard" blood vessels "soft" do not come back!

In fact, blood vessels have gradually embarked on the road of "hardening" since birth. This development process is also unavoidable. There is no possibility of "softening" of the already "hardened" vascular system.

However, a study by the team of academician Gu Dongfeng for cerebrovascular diseases showed that 60% of heart attacks can be prevented and controlled.

This means that we can "slowly harden" our blood vessels by improving our lifestyle.
