11.Why Your Diet Matters
Colorful fruits and vegetables have minerals called electrolytes that help keep your muscles in good shape and can help you avoid cramps. Leafy greens and bananas are good choices. Cramps have also been associated with certain vitamin deficiencies as well as low potassium and magnesium so make sure you have a diet rich in these.
12.When to Call Your Doctor
Most muscle cramps aren’t serious, but if they happen often and you don’t know what’s causing them — like heat or hard exercise — see your doctor. They can sometimes be a sign of a condition like thyroid disease, cirrhosis of the liver, or hardening of the arteries.
