15 minutes a day is enough

One in twenty Russians over the age of 50 suffers from leg pain. With age and exacerbation of various diseases, blood vessels suffer. Ultimately, this leads to damage to the peripheral arteries of the extremities and disruption of blood circulation – ischemia.

“Peripheral artery disease is a chronic disease that progresses steadily without treatment,” warns Dr Elena Paretskaya.

The most common symptoms of the disease: spasms, muscle pain, rapid fatigue when walking, lameness, pain even in the legs even at rest.

One of the most effective exercises for the prevention and treatment of this disease is walking on a treadmill. To start, 15 minutes a day is enough.

According to Dr. Paretskaya, in the early stages, properly selected physical exercises, as well as medications aimed at thinning the blood and preventing the formation of blood clots and atherosclerotic plaques, can help to cope with the disease.

“Because people are taught that pain is dangerous, they avoid it at all costs and simply refuse to walk. This forms a vicious circle: the less the patient moves, the stronger the pain becomes,” warns the doctor.
