What causes leg cramps:
1, calcium deficiency. Calcium deficiency is one of the main causes of leg cramps, especially for middle-aged and elderly people, calcium absorption capacity is gradually decreasing, calcium loss is obvious, and they are often troubled by leg cramps. Therefore, it is very important for middle-aged and elderly people to supplement calcium every day.
2. Local oppression. Lying on your back for a long time, letting the quilt press on your feet, or lying prone for a long time, so that your feet touch the mattress, will force the calf muscles to be in a state of tension for a long time, resulting in passive muscle contracture and insufficient blood supply.
3, cold * * *. Muscle cramps can occur when it is cold, such as cold feet and legs when sleeping at night, or insufficient preparation for physical activities in a cold environment, which can also lead to leg cramps.
After understanding the causes of leg cramps, everyone needs special attention, especially calcium supplementation. There is a misunderstanding that needs to be corrected. Many middle-aged and elderly people think that bone soup can supplement calcium. In fact, the effect of bone soup on calcium supplementation is very poor. The white soup that looks very nutritious is actually fat, which not only does not supplement calcium, but also may lead to hyperlipidemia.
In fact, eggs, milk and bean products are all very good calcium supplements, but eating calcium supplements is often difficult to make up the calcium needed by middle-aged and elderly people every day. It is recommended to take some calcium tablets for additional supplements, such as Jinshi calcium supplement tablets, which are very good for middle-aged and elderly people. It contains more scientific calcium and is suitable for middle-aged and elderly people. Not only that, Gingelch also takes into account the digestion of middle-aged and elderly people, and the ingredients contain vitamin D, which makes the supplemented calcium absorb better and is very helpful for relieving cramps. In addition, it also contains zinc, magnesium, copper and other essential trace elements, which help middle-aged and elderly people to supplement nutrients that are difficult to ingest in daily life and contribute to good health.
I believe everyone knows what causes leg cramps. In addition to daily calcium supplementation, we should also pay attention to sleeping posture, keep warm and rest.
