Restless Legs Linked to Obesity

As your weight elevates so does your risk for restless legs syndrome¹.  Restless legs then creates an uncomfortable sleep problem, making a person tired the next day and craving more food – a nasty catch 22.

Getting in a good weight loss pattern will eventually correct the problem, though restless legs can be caused by a build up of nerve related wear and tear whether a person is overweight or not.

Nutrients like quercetin, calcium AEP, and Acetyl-l-carnitine, taken during the day, help support nerve health so there is not so much wear and tear in the nerves when a person goes to bed at night.

Coral calcium tends to be the most helpful leg relaxer for sleep, taken before bed or extra as needed during the night.  Any type of sleep support nutrition is likely to help and can be used in any combination towards the goal of getting a better night’s sleep.

Restless legs is the result of too much nerve-related inflammation.  This new study simply says that being overweight is a contributing factor to the problem.  Losing weight consistently over time will help reduce inflammation of multiple types that can have far-ranging health benefits for many seemingly unrelated issues.
