Good morning

Dehydration and salt can cause leg cramps.
Lived with them for decades-increased the salt now I hardly get any.
Total 180 degrees in life.
Painful? Oh ya!

Are you saying to increase salt ?

I've always heard that too (bananas are good for leg cramps). But I eat a lot of bananas and I still get leg cramps sometimes. I hardly eat any salt, though, so maybe that's worth a shot.

I wear a sock to sleep in winter when it's cold or I'll get cramps.
I've tried ways to not need a sock...But nope!

When young healthy and working in the heat which was much of my life I'd use more salt deliberately.
It can slam blood pressure though. So I won't just suggest it..
(I can recall when salt tablets were in work first aid kits.)

First thing I'd check if cramping of nonstressed muscle ect. much during the day is water intake.
I'm a coffee freak so drink way to much coffee. Which is made using water but also a diuretic in such high amounts.
I've enough salt in most my meals anymore without adding more , that water should be my first consideration if dehydrated or cramped. And stretching after.

This is my take on having a Banana to offset leg cramps.

I ate a banana everyday for decades-I had leg cramps every night except probably a dozen times a year.
So that's a lot of cramps, most were get out of bed and press it out.
Times I would have 6 through the night.
Sometimes in both legs, jump out of bed, and the legs would fold-crash!
The Mrs would have to work the cramps out.

Tried endless of things and some worked a bit.
Magnesium helped-but too much worked on the digestion

So cramp vs running to the throne every morning.
Getting a cramp on the throne-not a great thing.

So we have been told for decades don't do this or that.
SALT-BAD!

We really didn't salt much, now I salt but probably under my daily limit.
We don't eat processed foods, rarely eat out at a restaurant.
(Usually it's a case of I eat better at home)

Now my cramps will happen maybe once a month at most.

I quit eating that monkey food as they have changed and are garbage now.

My in-laws swore by the tonic water method. I'd rather drink swamp water....It's probably better!

Or having to get to the throne because of cramps.......chili, 12 bran muffins etc.....

 

[Chilli]

I read that coconut water is full of electrolytes and potassium and useful for dehydration issues and associated leg cramps from that. I get them, leg cramps, when im dehydrated.
