Frequent foot cramps

The crux of the problem: Sudden cramps in your feet, or a sudden contraction of your muscles, may be transient conditions caused by exercise or dehydration. Sometimes, when lying down, a muscle or surrounding muscles can suddenly twitch and then be accompanied by soreness. If this happens often, your diet should increase your intake of calcium, potassium, and magnesium. Pregnant women must be careful during late pregnancy to increase blood flow to prevent this from happening.

Solution: Try bending your feet and massaging the pain. You can also use cold towels or disinfectant alcohol to relax your muscles. To avoid foot cramps, stretch your feet before going to bed, and then drink a cup of hot milk to add calcium.

There are many causes of peripheral neuropathy, but the two leading causes are diabetes and alcohol abuse. Chemotherapy is another reason.

Insufficient blood supply can also cause people to feel the pulse of their feet. When standing, the feet may be bright red or blackish; when rising, the feet will immediately turn pale.

Cold feet

If a woman over 40 years old has cold legs, it may be hypothyroidism because the thyroid gland regulates body temperature and metabolism. In addition, poor circulation is one of the reasons.

Solution: Insulating natural materials are most effective in keeping warm. If you have health problems other than cold feet, I suggest you see a doctor.

However, this infection will soon spread to all toenails and even fingernails, causing the nails to smell bad and darken. People with diabetes, people with circulation problems and immune system problems are susceptible to the disease. If elderly people have problems walking, it may also be the problem, but it is not easy for people to notice.
