Treatment for Restless Legs from your Diet!

There are a number of changes you can make to your diet to prevent and relieve symptoms of restless leg syndrome, or that ailment where you have the unbearable need to get up and move your legs after sitting or lying down for long stretches. While there are a number of prescription medications you can take to relieve RLS symptoms, most cause side effects ranging from being addictive to causing drowsiness and nausea. If you’d rather not -- or can’t -- take these medications, there are a lot of natural approaches you can try   
including making fairly easy changes to your diet, as follows:

Restless Leg

1. Try Clear Restless Leg Relief – this formula contains a unique blend of herbs and active homeopathic ingredients to provide safe and effective relief from muscle spasms, cramping, and symptoms associated with Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS). This formula relaxes muscles, providing relief from spasms and cramps, and has an analgesic effect for pain relief. Clear Restless Leg Relief is not habit forming and won’t cause drowsiness.

2. Mind your minerals – Magnesium, calcium and potassium have all proved helpful in relieving restless leg syndrome. While it would be ideal to get enough of these essential minerals through our diet, the reality is most of us don’t. Be sure to take a multivitamin that contains these minerals or start adding them in supplemental form in small doses.

3. Become an iron wo/man – Yes, iron is a mineral, too, but this one deserves it’s own bullet point because it’s so important. Check your iron level, and if it’s low start supplementing and always eat plenty of iron rich foods like dark green leafy vegetables, organ meats, kidney beans and wheat germ.

4. Boost Your B-Complex – This vitamin is necessary for the healthy functioning of nearly all brain processes and chemicals (and RLS is believed to be related to a chemical imbalance in the brain). Eat plenty of fruits like bananas, cantaloupe and oranges, vegetables like broccoli, spinach and beets, seafood and organ meats. Vitamin B can also be found in supplement form.

5. Avoid these RLS villains – The following things are known to exacerbate RLS symptoms: alcohol, caffeine, nicotine, processed foods and MSG.

Best in Health!
