3 Foods That Prevent Muscle Cramps

Cramping on your run? Eat these foods to prevent the pain!

1. Prepare Potassium-Rich Sweet Potatoes

Potassium helps maintain a healthy nervous system and muscular function.

2. Munch on Magnesium-Rich Oatmeal

Magnesium helps regulate both muscle contraction and relaxation. A magnesium deficiency can increase cramps especially at night.

3. Crave Calcium-Rich Yogurt

Small deficiencies of calcium can increase muscle cramps. Aim for 1,000 mg of calcium per day.
