I get so many leg cramps now more than ever. Talk about painful. I have yet to figure out what causes them because I could just be sitting down, and then, BAM! They hit like someone took a hammer to my leg. A few people have told me that it's from a lack of potassium, so eat bananas. Well, I rarely buy them, but I eat peanut butter, so I grab a spoonful of it. Well, seems even when I do buy/eat them, it is not enough. So, I decided to google it. The recommended amount of potassium for an adult is 3500 mg a day. But one banana only has about 450 mg. So, you would have to eat about 7 of them to get the daily amount. Eating bananas are also good for digestion, but it can also cause you to get constipated from eating too many.
Anyone else suffer from them? How do you make it go away? Sometimes walking it off does nothing but make it hurt more.
