Are bananas good for Cramps?!


Question:

Are bananas good for Cramps?

my friend was told that bananas are good for cramps. I was wondering if that was true. and if it is true why are bananas good for cramps?


Answers:

Yep, sure can. Anything rich in potassium can help out with cramps. That's why track runners and other sports players can be seen eating bananas before or after games. They can alieviate or even prevent cramps.

Also, sorta related, if you ever have food poisioning or any other illness in which you throw up a lot, try (if you can get it down and keep it down) to eat a banana or something else rich in potassium. When you vomit excessively, you lose potassium which is potentially dangerous and can cause you to have muscle spasms.
