Home Remedy For Leg Cramps
Ugh! The middle of the night stabbing leg pain that woke you up again. Leg cramps. Leg cramps, whether they occur night or day, are caused when the potassium and sodium levels in our body gets low. Here’s an easy home remedy to prevent and/or stop leg cramps.
When leg cramps hit, grab a banana and a salt shaker. Eat the banana and sprinkle some salt onto your tongue and swallow it.
This is the fastest method to get potassium and sodium back into your body and stop the leg cramps. If you hate the taste of bananas, keep some other potassium rich food source in the house for emergencies.
We have cut the salt (sodium) out of our diets, we drink tons of water which further depletes the sodium and potassium levels in our bodies, we don’t eat right, etc., no wonder are bodies are rebelling by giving us leg cramps.
Add potassium and a little sodium back into your diet and that will help prevent leg cramps.
