Hello mick,

 

Not sure about the loss of leg control, you should go see a doc to get that checked out. For the types of foods you should be eating, here is a great resource... I hope that was helpful. Explore around that area of the site and I'm sure you will find everything your looking for. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

Please have the leg control checked by your doctor. I had the same symptoms; I think my cholesterol had been out of control for a long while. There was impaired circulation to my legs. I am 50 so no one paid much attention to PAD. See your doctor, please.
