2. Mineral Deficiencies
Mineral deficiencies are one of the most common causes of experiencing chronic muscle cramps, and the most common minerals that your diet or routine usually needs are ones like salt or magnesium. If you experience muscle cramps that go away after the consumption of foods containing either of these, adjust your diet to make sure you’re following a healthier and more well-rounded one.
These mineral deficiencies can easily happen if you are dehydrated as described earlier on, but it can also take place for a variety of other reasons that aren’t related to dehydration or diet. There are some chronic conditions that can cause chronic mineral deficiencies as an associated symptom, and an appointment with your doctor can tell you which is applicable to you.
Mineral deficiencies are usually easy enough to treat when they’ve been officially diagnosed. If you notice that the cramps get any worse, speak to your doctor about adjusting the supplements you take.
