What causes leg cramps?!
Question:
What causes leg cramps?
And why do we get them sometimes at night when we are asleep?
Answers:
Typically, cramps are caused by a lack of potassium. We cramp at night, because this is when we are the least active, and our muscles relax and become lax - leaving room for a curling muscle.
If you're having problems with cramping, you may try adding a banana a day to your diet. Or increase foods that have higer potassium content like chicken.
