That's what's causing my leg cramps!?

I often hear people say that their calf muscles cramp while they are sleeping.
This is what is commonly known as a "cramp."
Problems like leg cramps tend to occur when you are tired, but they also tend to occur when the mineral balance in your body is disrupted.
The mineral balance in the body can easily be disrupted by exercise, dehydration, sweating, and unbalanced diet. Minerals are a type of nutrient that makes up the body.
When you are deficient in minerals, especially potassium, calcium, and magnesium, you are more likely to get leg cramps, so it is important to replenish them to prevent this.

[Why does a lack of minerals cause leg cramps?]
Leg cramps are when the muscles in your legs suddenly contract and spasm.
The contracted muscles cannot be stretched, and pain is felt. The reason this happens is that there is a deep relationship between minerals and muscle movement, and minerals play a role in transmitting information from the brain to the muscles.
Therefore, a mineral deficiency can cause errors in information transmission, resulting in unintentional muscle contractions and leg cramps.
The reason why the calf muscles are particularly susceptible to cramps is because, together with the heart, they carry blood throughout the body. (The calf muscles are under greater strain than other muscles, making them more susceptible to cramps.)
"Cramps" refers to the calf muscles, and cramps in the calf muscles are called "cramps."

[People who are prone to leg cramps]
・People who exercise Fatigue makes muscles tense, making them more susceptible to cramps. When you sweat, minerals are also flushed out of your body.

・Lack of water If you don't drink enough water, minerals won't circulate through your body. Mineral water is recommended because it can replenish minerals at the same time.

・Poor circulation Poor circulation slows down blood flow. Blood is also important for circulating minerals. If you have cramps in your fingertips, it may be due to poor circulation.

・Elderly people: As muscles weaken, they are more susceptible to leg cramps. If they lose their appetite, they are unable to replenish their nutrients, which can also lead to leg cramps.

・People who drink alcohol When alcohol is excreted from the body, minerals are also excreted. Fatigue of the liver, which breaks down alcohol, is also a cause of leg cramps.

Pregnant women: Pregnant women need to share their mother's minerals with their babies. This can lead to a lack of minerals in the mother, making them more susceptible to leg cramps.

[Make sure to drink plenty of fluids]
The most common cause of leg cramps is dehydration. Minerals are lost along with sweat while you sleep.
We recommend that you drink plenty of water and have a glass of water before going to bed.

First, review your daily diet and make sure you are getting a balanced intake of minerals.
A healthy body is built up through daily efforts. It is desirable to eat a nutritionally balanced diet, but if you find this difficult, another effective method is to intelligently supplement your minerals with supplements.
