The 11 Causes of Leg Pain Revealed ~ Dr. Eric Berg

And that is coming from your diet.

You're consuming too many carbs and sugar, and you're severely lacking vitamin B1.

And so now what's happening is you're getting a combination of acidity and lack of oxygen, hypoxia, okay? And your legs are gonna be very, very restless.

You're gonna feel, um, very uncomfortable in the legs, especially at night.

I had this condition, uh, for quite some years.

I would literally get up in the middle of the night and have to pound my legs because they were so full of energy, and I had to go running.

I was running in the middle of the night to try to get this energy out because they were restless, okay? They would not let me sleep.

Little did I know that a pint of Ben & Jerry's ice cream every night for probably over a year caused this condition, not to mention the other carbs I was consuming.

The more carbohydrate and sugar that you eat, the more B1 that you need to metabolize it, okay? And so that's the underlying cause.

It's a B1 deficiency causing this because the diet's too high in carbohydrate.
