MUSCLE CRAMPS?

Hey to all,

Are you one of those people that have constantly muscle cramps?
What is the reason behind those painful muscle cramps?

Personally, some clients of mine were affected by muscle cramps recently, so let's clarify the reasons behind the topic. The reason behind muscle cramping remains unclear, but the are 3 possible explanations which are:

1. muscle fatigue or overexertion
2. dehydration, and
3. electrolyte imbalance

In addition, high potassium foods like fruits, vegetables, legumes, low fat dairy foods and adequate sodium can eliminate muscle cramps. Try these simple nutritional tips and I think you are on the right track. I'm out........
