Why are you having severe foot cramping?

Answer 1

Foot cramps can be a cause from excess strain on the feet or poor nutrition. Some of the following ways can decrease the amount of foot cramps you may receive.

• Hydration - Water helps to circulate important vitamins in the body.
• Potassium - High Potassium levels are good in helping the ease of foot and leg cramps. Low potassium may also cause fatigue.
• Eating a balanced diet can also help increase the chances of not getting a foot cramp.

Foot cramps have many causes. Some of the most common causes for foot cramps are: * Stress or fatigue in the foot - An overworked foot is often susceptible to foot cramps. * Poor circulation - Foot cramp is caused by lack of oxygen being carried to the foot. * Lack of potassium - This important mineral, found in salt, helps regulate body chemistry and keep you foot cramp free. * Dehydration - Lack of water in the muscles contribute to foot cramps. * Changing hormone levels - Foot cramps may occur while muscle tissue adjusts to these changes. * Pinched nerves - Caused when the electrical impulse from the brain cannot reach the muscle, this can cause foot cramps, numbness and other symptoms. * Alcohol or tobacco use - Since both lend to dehydration, poor circulation and toxicity, these are a triple threat for foot cramps. * Nutritional deficiency - A healthy diet, complete with all essential nutrients can keep muscles and nerves functioning normally. * Environmental toxicity - Certain "poisons" we encounter (via factories, contaminated water, etc.) may play a role in increased foot cramps. * Chemical sensitivity - Some prescriptions may change the conditions in the body and make foot cramps more likely.
