Intermittent claudication is the primary symptom of peripheral artery disease (PAD), which is atherosclerosis of the vascular system in the outer extremities, particularly the legs.  Intermittent claudication is the crampy leg pain, often in the calf, felt during exercise or walking.  It is called “intermittent” because the pain comes and goes, and is relieved by periods of rest.  Intermittent claudication, and PAD, is caused by blocked arteries.

Risk factors for intermittent claudication and PAD include smoking, high blood pressure, and lack of physical activity. Diabetes and high cholesterol can also elevate your risk, as both contribute to the deterioration of your arteries.  If you are experiencing leg pain while walking or exercising or leg pain that does not go away, you should see your doctor.  Wounds on the feet that do not heal and cooler skin temperatures can also indicate blood flow problems in the legs.

There are a variety of treatments that can be taken to help you improve your circulatory system’s health if you’ve been diagnosed with intermittent claduciation or PAD.  One of these is oral chelation therapy, which can easily be done at home with a six-week program.  Previously, chelation therapy for the heart was only available in an IV treatment, which was costly and time consuming.  But now, with the advent of liquid chelation from Cardio Renew, it’s easy and affordable to do at home.  The EDTA in liquid chelation therapy binds the excess heavy metals and minerals in your system that contribute to narrowing of the arteries, improving their elasticity and your blood’s circulation.

In conjunction with a heart healthy diet and moderate exercise, Cardio Renew can have a positive impact on your heart health.  To continue your heart’s health, try the chelation maintenance pack as well.
