Leg cramps while walking can indicate peripheral artery disease and high levels of "bad" cholesterol in the blood. This was reported by the Daily Express, citing experts from the American Heart Association (AHA).

Painful muscle cramps in the thighs, thighs, or calves can often be felt when walking, climbing stairs, or doing other physical activity.

The experts explained that peripheral arterial disease leads to gradual narrowing and complete blockage of the lumen of the aorta and the main arteries. This is due to cholesterol deposits that form atherosclerotic plaques.

Also, a person with such a problem may experience pain in the legs, cramps and numbness in the hands.

From an excess of cholesterol in the blood, non-healing ulcers on the legs and feet also appear, the color of the skin on the toes changes.

Experts recalled that high cholesterol levels increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. This can lead to a stroke or heart attack. To avoid problems, you need to lead an active lifestyle and follow a diet high in unsaturated fats.

It has been previously reported that fenugreek seeds help to significantly lower blood cholesterol levels.
