The cramps are caused by multiple factors: such as: lack of minerals in the body, involuntary contraction of the muscle, lactic acid build up (this happens especially During exercise). Here’s how to behave in case a cramp strikes suddenly.
Very often the cramp generates excessive anxiety in those who suffer, as manifested by sudden pains and strong enough. The first thing to do then is self-control, being aware of the fact that the cramp lasts only a few seconds and that health is not compromised by this involuntary contraction of the muscle.
It should first of all spread out and stretch the muscle, then spread it out. For example: if the cramp hits the leg is useful to put it down, and push lightly with your toes on the floor, lifting your heel. The moment in which the pain is relieved must support the part affected by cramp on a surface so as to hold it vertically.
If the affected area is from the leg cramp after performing the above operations supporting the whole foot on the ground to prevent these types of pain, you need to drink based drinks, mineral salts and take a good daily dose of potassium or in the form of food or in capsules (with the supervision of the attending physician).
