And Now For Something Completely Random



Remedy for leg cramps from healthboards.com:

Try increasing your potassium intake along with plenty of fluids. Potssium can be found in bananas, tomato paste, ketchup. Increase this and your leg cramps will disappear in moments.

And if none of those are available, this from health911.com:

"For years coaches have given mustard to their athletes with leg cramps. Cramps are sometimes caused by a deficiency in acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter that stimulates your muscles to work. Mustard has acetic acid, which helps the body make more acetylcholine. Take a spoonful or two of mustard.




As with mustard coaches have given pickle juice to their athletes with leg cramps. Cramps are sometimes caused by a deficiency in acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter that stimulates your muscles to work. Pickle juice has acetic acid, which helps the body make more acetylcholine. Take a few ounces of pickle juice."

So there you have it.
