Take the free 2-minute quiz to find out:https://drbrg.co/4tO9nV9 Restless legs at night are often described as a buildup of energy in the thigh muscles that can make it difficult to relax and sleep.Restless legs syndrome is not actually a problem with the legs; it’s a neurological issue involving the brain. Many people are treated with medications that affect dopamine, but these drugs may eventually stop working and often worsen the problem. Restless legs syndrome is often linked to low iron, but simply taking iron doesn’t usually solve the problem. Nerves need both iron and copper in the proper amounts, and iron cannot function correctly without copper.Symptoms of restless legs syndrome tend to worsen at night because dopamine follows a circadian rhythm and reaches its lowest point during the evening. A subclinical dopamine deficiency can become much more noticeable at night. ATP is the critical fuel source for neurons, and ATP production depends on magnesium. Magnesium helps regulate calcium in the muscles by driving it out of muscle cells so they can relax. Without enough magnesium, muscles can remain tight.Magnesium deficiency can contribute to restless legs, sleep problems, muscle cramps, and reduced ATP production in the nervous system.Vitamin B1 is also essential for preventing restless legs at night. Vitamin B1 deficiency is associated with peripheral neuropathy, anxiety, nervous tension, and impaired dopamine production.A high-carbohydrate diet can deplete copper, magnesium, and vitamin B1, potentially contributing to restless legs syndrome symptoms.Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 61, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.
