Muscular Cramps

Eat an organic, whole foods diet that is high in calcium-rich and magnesium-rich foods, such as green leafy vegetables, fruits (particularly apricots), organic yogurt, kefir, millet, raw nuts and seeds, and raw organic honey. Minimize your intake of citrus fruits, meats, and grains. Overall, you want your diet to be one that supports alkalinity and minimizes acidity, so you need to make sure each meal of the day is high in fruit or vegetable content. Also eliminate coffee and other caffeine drinks and drink plenty of pure filtered water throughout the day.

If the muscular spasm occurs due to a potassium deficiency you should increase the consumption of soya flour, bananas, bran wheat, potatoes, tomato puree, apricots and such.

It is important to not add further toxicity to your system so try to adhere to the following:

• Do not consume any artificial sweeteners, such as Splenda, NutraSweet or Aspartame
• Do not consume high fructose corn syrup or mono-sodium glutamate.
• Do not drink any carbonated beverages.
• Avoid all fast food restaurants.
• Avoid all canned food.
• Eliminate conventional dairy products.  The best dairy products are raw, unpasteurized and homogenized dairy from grass fed cows. If this is unavailable, then buy organic dairy.
• Avoid conventional beef. The best beef is organic grass fed beef. www.grasslandbeef.com The second best is organic meat; this includes beef, veal, lamb, chicken and turkey.

Supplements:

The following nutrients are very helpful for relieving and preventing muscle cramps: calcium, magnesium, potassium, silica, trace minerals, a multi-mineral supplement, vitamin B complex, vitamin B1, vitamin B3 (niacin), folic acid, vitamin C, vitamin E, and chlorophyll.

Muscle cramps, particularly in the calf muscles, can also occur because of a lack of sodium in the body. To prevent this, take a half a teaspoon of organic sea salt or Celtic salt in a glass of water once a day.
