This Is Why You Have Leg Cramps At Night (And How To Stop It)

Cramps can be a real nightmare, especially when they wake you at night.

Cramps normally appear after intense physical activity, when your body isn't able to absorb the oxygen necessary, in order to produce the glucose oxidation, and there is an excessive accumulation of lactic acid.

The lack of minerals such as magnesium and potassium is another cause: excessive sweating depletes these minerals and electrolytes, causing cramps.

Other common causes are:

- diabetes;
- exposure to low temperatures;
- circulation problems;
- hypothyroidism;
- bad posture;
- anemia;
- stress.

In order to avoid cramps, you need to follow some simple tips. First of all, you should drink lots of water, both before and after physical activity.

If your cramps are caused by a lack of electrolytes, you should eat foods that are rich in magnesium, sodium, calcium and potassium; fruits and vegetables such as celery, cress, carrots, banana, tomato, and citrus fruits, which contain vitamin C and improve circulation.

Stretching exercises can also help, due to the fact that they improve the communication between your sensory and brain receptors.

Here are 3 easy juice recipes that help prevent cramps:
