Granny's gone and done it again

[twisted-acres-farm]

the foot cramps were at the instep of my foot , don't recall getting them there before. the lower ones are not an issue as most of my toes are sort of double jointed.

whats it in ???

Get magnesium citrate (not oxide). You can get it in capsule form, or if you are daring enough go to the laxative section and look for it in bottles... take a tablespoon or two a couple times daily to start building up your magnesium. Anyone who drinks coffee by the pot (Granny) or sweats a lot loses salt, and when salt is lost so goes magnesium. I can sit in an epsom salts bath and collect enough via absorption to get me back in shape.. but I normally take a couple of capsules daily because of the sweating and coffee drinking.. Since starting on it, I haven't had leg or foots cramps in I can't remember how long.

not normally , if they are on the top of the ball of my foot, I just hobble around with usually my big toe sticking up in the air. Looks painful as all heck. but I just walk funny until the toe returns to the "normal" resting position

Magnesium is an essential mineral required by the body for maintaining normal muscle and nerve function, keeping a healthy immune system, maintaining heart rhythm, and building strong bones. (2)

A deficiency in magnesium can lead to numbness, muscle cramps, seizures, abnormal heart rhythms, and coronary spasms. (2)


Conversely, consuming too much magnesium typically causes diarrhea and nausea as the body attempts to excrete the excess. (2)


High magnesium foods include dark leafy greens, seeds, beans, fish, whole grains, nuts, dark chocolate, yogurt, avocados, bananas and more. The current daily value (DV) for magnesium is 420mg. (2)
