If you want to know what electrolytes are and how they relate to muscle cramping, this article is great! This also explains why so many people are giving up table salt for Sea Salt and "Pink Salt."

Muscle cramps can also be due to a lack of Magnesium, specially calf cramps. Magnesium helps regulate muscle contraction. Someone mentioned bananas for potassium, they also have magnesium, worth a try.

I was taught a general rule of thumb is you drink 20 swallows of water when you have a bowel movement and 10 swallows when you pee. While a lack of magnesium and electrolytes can cause cramps, so can dehydration.
