[00:00:00]Oh, my muscle cramp. Oh, no.

[00:00:02]Let me drink some water.

[00:00:04]Stop. Don't go for water. It might actually worsen it. Why? Because magnesium, potassium, and sodium are involved in this. So, you need them to relax your muscle. So, ideally, you can take pumpkin seeds. This is going to help you with your magnesium. Or, you can take banana, which would help you with your potassium. Add salt to your water with lime juice or something like that, which will help with your sodium.

[00:00:33]This way, you're preventing the dilution of the magnesium, potassium, and sodium when you're drinking plain water. This would help in relaxing your muscle faster. Next time you have a muscle cramp, remember this. Focus on your magnesium, sodium, and potassium.
