Are you suffering from muscle pain and cramps?

You may have also felt pain in your legs, back, arms after a more intense workout. However, sometimes muscle contraction takes place as an involuntary activity, even during sleep. What is it all about? What can we do?

On such occasions, the fibers in the muscles responsible for contraction and relaxation of the muscle fibers contract around each other. These fibres tighten the muscles and do not allow them to relax.

The first thing you can do at this point is to gently, slowly move your arms, legs and torso and massage the affected area.

But there are differences between sleep and sport. The causes can be found in the moments when muscle spasms occur.

If you cramp during exercise, there is probably a lack of oxygen in the red muscle fibres. In this case, you need to supplement your calcium intake ideally together with magnesium, in a ratio of 2 units of calcium, 1 unit of magnesium.

If you have cramps during sleep, you may be deficient in L-glutamine. In this case, it is recommended to consume protein in addition to magnesium.

The basis of all sports is proper hydration of the body. Be aware of this before and during exercise, as muscle cramps can also be caused by insufficient fluid intake. It is important to warm up properly before performing a sporting activity and perform stretching exercises after completing it.

In addition to a balanced fluid intake, also make sure that the body's mineral intake (especially magnesium, calcium, potassium) is sufficient, otherwise muscle cramps could reoccur.
