    Eat more legumes.

    The main causes of foot cramps are:

    1) Poor local circulation, peripheral vascular lesions or varicose veins of the feet.

    2) Sudden change in ambient temperature.

    3) Emotional overtension.

    4) Excessive loss of water and salt, resulting in an imbalance of electrolytes in the body.

    5) Insufficient levels of minerals (such as magnesium and calcium) in the diet.

    6) The incidence of cramps in certain chronic diseases and pregnant women will also increase.

    7) Low thyroid, uremia or other physical diseases.

    8) Motor neuron disease, spinal radiculopathy or peripheral neuropathy.

    9) Certain drugs to lower blood pressure and blood lipids may also cause foot cramps.

    10) Unknown reasons.

    How to reduce the chances of foot cramps:

    1) Pay attention to calcium supplementation: In the stage of puberty, calcium will be relatively lacking, which is more likely to cause cramps.

    2) If you are prone to cramps when sleeping at night, stretch on the cramp-prone area before going to bed.

    3) Keep your calves warm when sleeping. You can wear more clothes to keep your hands and feet warm.

    4) Excessive sagging of the foot plate (in the direction of the soles of the feet) may induce cramps in the lower legs. Avoid letting the foot plate hang too much when sleeping.

    5) There have been reports in the literature that vitamin E can reduce the number of attacks, but it is not conclusive.

    This is a sign of calcium deficiency, and cramps are a strong signal of calcium deficiency in the body, which is caused by spasmodic muscle contractions.

    When the body is deficient in calcium, blood calcium will fluctuate for a short time, and low blood calcium will increase the permeability of cell membranes, so that a large number of calcium ions will enter skeletal muscle cells, which will cause muscle spasmodic contraction.

    Recommendations: Drink milk in the morning, direct calcium supplementation of 600-800 mg in the evening, daily sun exposure if possible, or direct supplementation of vitamin D3 400-1000 IU. Take a 20-30 minute walk every day after dinner.

    Vitamin D3 can help with calcium absorption and improve immunity. Calcium has a good sedative and analgesic effect and can improve sleep quality and health. It will definitely help you.

    Calcium deficiency can cause many discomforts, including pain, cramps, sweating, poor sleep, etc. Calcium supplementation can alleviate and eliminate these discomforts.
