Muscle Cramps and Spasms
Muscle cramps and spasms may be symptoms that the body is deficient in magnesium. Muscle cramps can be brought on by dehydration, which is often the case with athletes who don’t replenish their water supply during exercise. They may also experience muscle cramps if they are not getting enough magnesium in their diet or medications. In addition, if they have kidney stones or kidney problems, this could be an additional cause of muscle cramps.
The first thing to do when experiencing muscle cramps and spasms is to increase the intake of water (if necessary), stop exercising for a while, and consult a doctor about whether there’s another underlying cause for the pain.
