8 health warning signs that the feet can reveal

The occurrence of night leg cramps indicates potential dehydration, and mineral deficiencies such as potassium, magnesium and calcium, since these substances are vital for muscle function and nerve transmission. For minor cramps, drink a lot of water and increase your mineral consumption. Pre-sleep stretching, combined with massage techniques, acts as a preventive measure for cramp occurrence. On the other hand, some medications and metabolic disorders tend to worsen muscle cramps, so it is best if one gets evaluated first.
