Shaking your legs may be a disease?
There is a very rare disease in medicine called restless legs syndrome, which is a nervous system disease. Its main symptom is uncontrollable trembling of legs. But this is different from our daily leg shaking behavior. Patients with restless legs syndrome can't control their leg shaking behavior. Leg tremors are accompanied by intense discomfort such as pain and burning sensation, and leg spasms often occur, which often occur at night. If your leg tremors meet the above characteristics, you'd better go to the hospital for examination.
It is a habit to shake your legs every day.
Most of the shaking of legs in our daily life does not belong to the category of disease, but is just a habitual action. Many people will make all kinds of small moves to relieve their emotions when they are anxious and nervous, but this is not a healthy way to relieve stress. Once they get into the habit, it's hard to give it up. Some people rely on small movements such as shaking their legs to relieve anxiety, and as a result, they often become double anxiety without doing small movements.
Shaking is healthier? Might as well get up and walk!
There is a saying that shaking your legs can increase the venous blood return of your legs and prevent blood spots from forming after sitting for a long time, which is healthy. This is also a physical stress countermeasure against poor venous return caused by sitting for a long time after sitting down.
Sitting for a long time can really lead to leg numbness, mainly because the lower limbs keep a posture for a long time, which is easy to affect the smooth blood circulation and may also oppress the sciatic nerve, both of which will have adverse effects on health. In this sense, shaking the legs can make the muscles of the lower limbs slightly move, which can avoid the phenomenon of leg numbness to some extent. However, the best way to avoid the harm caused by sedentary is to stand up and exercise, which is much healthier and more effective than shaking your legs.
Try not to shake it if you can.
In fact, shaking your legs is not a disease in most cases, and there is no particularly bad effect. But it will not only form psychological dependence, but more importantly, in social culture, shaking your legs is a very indecent behavior, which will cause dissatisfaction among people next to you. Therefore, it's best to quit this little habit, and don't shake it if you can.
Conclusion: You don't have to shake your legs. If you often shake your legs, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination immediately.
