Answers:
There are 2 reasons for charlie horses in your calf muscles!. One is dehydration, you are not drinking enough fluids!. Drink more water, and drink it cold because it gets to your muscles faster when it is cold!. The other reason is low potassium in your diet!. You can get potassium from eating things like oranges (or drinking orange juice), bananas, or yogurt!. The other thing, if you do get a charlie horse, rub the area and flex your foot (if you point your foot it'll make it worse) until the cramp subsides!. Hope that helps!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
