You don’t have to be an athlete to suffer from muscle cramps, the sudden, involuntary spasms in your muscles. Causes of muscle cramps include dehydration, inadequate blood supply, nerve compression, and mineral deficiencies, like low calcium or potassium.
As you age, you begin to lose muscle mass, and the remaining muscle can be easily stressed, which leads to cramps. If you’ve ever experienced a muscle cramp you know how excruciating it can be. For a moment, you are left paralyzed, in pain, and almost helpless, feeling like you can’t do anything about it.
Well, a new study has revealed a secret to help you relieve muscle cramps.
