Answers:
Leg cramps at night are usually caused from a lack of potassium. Like others have said, eat a banana a day. Another good fruit to eat is an orange.

Are you exercising.? If so, potassium is lost through sweating and needs to be replaced. also, if you are exercising make sure you do the proper stretching before and after.

Try checking out this web site for more foods rich in potassium

To alleviate the cramp, try using heat on the area for about 10 - 15 minutes. This might help bring more blood to the area thereby bringing more oxygen and potassium to the muscle.Health Question & Answer
