Regular stretching is thought to improve flexibility, which enhances the ability of joints and muscles to move through their full range of motion. Stretching after exercise, yoga increases speed and power and helps reduce injury. A post-workout stretch also helps slow down breathing and heart rate, bringing the body in a state of recovery.

• • • Eat more foods rich in vitamins and minerals

Vitamins and minerals found in food nourish our body and helps with overall health. The best way to get these micro-nutrients is through daily intake of a healthy diet. However, dietary surveys of people in the United States consistently show lower than the recommended intake of these micro-nutrients, especially Magnesium and Vitamin B12

• • • Take dietary supplements, if needed

Our modern-day diets lack many key nutrients, vitamins, and minerals, resulting in nutritional deficiencies. These deficiencies combined with physical stress or trauma impair our energy metabolism, resulting in acute and chronic pain, muscle tenderness, muscle soreness, myofascial dysfunction, leg cramps, fatigue and loss of energy. If you’re not getting the vitamins and minerals that your body needs, from your diet it would help to add a dietary supplement to your daily routine.

• • • Avoid staying in one position for a long time

As per a recent study, on average we spend more than 50% of our day, sitting. Continuous and prolonged sitting can cause several adverse health effects, one of which is muscle cramps and pain. It is advisable to keep your body in motion throughout the day by stretching, light exercises or it could be just standing up and taking a 2-minute walk indoors or outdoors.

• • • Monitor blood glucose levels regularly

Regular blood sugar monitoring is the most important thing you can do to manage type 1 or type 2 diabetes. You’ll be able to see what makes your numbers go up or down, such as eating different foods, taking your medicine, or being physically active. With this information, you can work with your health care team to make decisions about your best diabetes care plan 3. Long-term high blood sugar levels or hyperglycemia in those who have diabetes could cause nerve damage which is called diabetic neuropathy. Leg cramps and pain often occur as a result of such nerve damage. There are several NSAIDs and opioid medications to manage the pain, but nowadays people have other natural alternatives like dietary supplements with Magnesium, Vitamin B12, acupuncture, but the most important is making healthy lifestyle changes.
