What are Muscle Cramps?
Technical literature describes a cramp — as an involuntary contraction of a muscle that doesn’t then relax – well with that much pain — I would not choose it and it wouldn’t be voluntary is what I can say!
When I exercise hard– after being not very active for days, I usually get a muscle cramp.
If you reviewed the scientific literature on cramps– you would find that “they have still not found a way to cure it,” and the cause is still described as “unknown”.
A well read doctor may tell your that — muscle cramps are is made worse by the lowering of sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium salt levels in our bodies due primarily to exercise and dehydration — lack of drinking enough good clean water.
