Pray that cramps do not happen in the morning while you are preparing for work, because then you will be unable to go to work; they can be quite devastating and can disable you for a whole day and even days.
They are involuntary, painful movements of muscle tissues and there are a variety that affects different muscle tissues.
Cramps can happen in the abdomen and even in the vagina in women, but the most common place they occur is in the legs.
They are especially devastating to athletes who heavily rely on their muscles, and because they use their muscles a lot, they are very susceptible to being cramped.
So it is wise to know how to prevent them and these are some things you can do to reduce the chances of cramps to your muscles.
Flexibility Exercises
Not all exercises prevent cramps, some actually increase it; but on the other hand, flexibility exercises are the best for cramp prevention.
Exercise is a series of physical actions done in order to fine tune the body.
They are designed to improve the motion and fluency of your muscles and joints and they prevent cramps by stretching muscles so they do not tighten.
Some examples of flexibility exercises are yoga and stretching.
Stretching relaxes overworked muscles so that no injury or harm comes to them.
Sleep
When you lie down to sleep, your muscles are relaxed and rest, preparing them for the next day; but if you do not sleep, or sleep long enough or the right way, your muscles do not get the chance to rest properly; hence they become overworked and start to malfunction in the form of cramps.
Drink a lot of water
One of the major causes of cramps is dehydration; without water, muscles could become rusty in their function and not contract and relax well. So water acts like a lubricant to make muscles function smoothly.
Stay hydrated by drinking a lot of water daily.
Conclusion
Cramps are not something you desire to have so you can prevent them by staying hydrated, sleeping well and performing regular exercise.
