Restless Leg syndrome

Restless Leg syndrome

You may have heard about something called restless leg syndrome as being one of the main causes of insomnia.

This is where you have an irresistible urge to move your legs which stops you falling or staying asleep. These sudden movements happen without warning and are often so severe they wake the sufferer up with a jolt in the middle of the night.

A recent study showed that iron deficiency is often the cause of Restless Leg Syndrome.

You can increase iron levels in your diet and therefore aid the symptoms of Restless Leg Syndrome.

Good sources of iron include:
Salmon
Sardines
Tuna
Eggs
Liver
Meat
Chicken
Green vegetables
Dried fruit and nuts
Wholemeal bread

It has been found that the absorbtion of iron by the body can be increased by vitamin C intake. So remember to have lots of fruit juice and fresh fruit with your meals.

Hope this helps you.
