eat a few bananas, it just means his body is low on potassium.

Bananas! It could be he doesn't have sufficient potassium. Massage is wonderful, too!

Tell him to eat banana's. Truly this helps. Also, pour a little salt in the palm of his hand and lick it. It helps with craps, honest. I use to work at the shipyard, they gave us salt pills because of the cramps. Hope this helps.....Much health to you

Tell him to hydrate more and move around if he works a desk job. Prolonged siiting causes reduced blood flow, especially in bigger people and can lead to cramping. Also a daily vitamin can help increase the minerals necessary to prevent his cramps.

Bananas ive have heard many people tell me that.

eat enough salt but not too much so ur over the dailly limit this might sound like a load of rubbish but its true

massage

Try eatin a banana, drinking more milk, and also apple juice helps. I get them too from time to time...drinking milk helps me.
