Stop Leg Cramps in their Tracks

Leg Cramps are more than just a bother. Often it happens at night, sometimes all night, and disrupts sleep. The pain can be intense at times as well.

So what can we do to prevent this situation from happening again and again?

Avoid All Animal Protein

Avoid all animal proteins. This includes red meat, chicken, fish, and most dairy (except for a bit of milk in your coffee if need be).

Why? Animal proteins produce acid in the body, this acid can accumulate in the muscles. It's important to maintain an alkaline diet to avoid inflammation and muscle cramping. 

If you really need to eat animal proteins make sure they are cooked in water (not fried). Opt for hard boiled eggs instead of fish, beef or chicken. 

Note: never eat animal protein after 6pm!

Drink More Water

Staying hydrated is very important. Be sure to drink water (add a pinch of sea salt or bamboo salt - which is very high in minerals to add electrolytes). 

Eat More Fruit & Vegetables

Some foods are high in electrolytes as well: coconut water, papaya, oranges, avocadoes and many more.

Stand for 5 Minutes

Stand up and walk around for 5 minutes every hour to increase circulation

Massage

Massage your legs twice daily - when you wake up and especially important: before bed.

Massage is doubly effective when you use a nutrient rich oil like magnesium oil.

Keep Blood Sugar Levels Stable

When we are in a stressful situation the adrenal glands release cortisol. Cortisol then signals to the liver to release glucose so we have energy to deal with the situation.  

However, when we experience chronic stress, our blood sugar levels remain elevated. This is a serious problem and can contribute to the development of diabetes over time.

 How to Relieve Stress & Reduce High Cortisol levels:

1) Boost- Boost is an amazingly potent herbal formula designed to rejuvenate the adrenal glands, thus combating adrenal fatigue and boosting energy levels.
Our Boost formula includes herbs like Sarsparilla & Muira Puama which together reverses adrenal fatigue which leads to higher energy levels.

2) Be Sure to Eat Healthy Carbs- If you're chronically stressed the last thing you want to do is cut carbs. Low Carb diets keep us in a stress cycle. When blood sugar dips too low, it triggers cortisol release. This s probably the reason why low carb dieters struggle with irritability and mood swings. Increasing healthy carb intake helps lower cortisol levels.

Proper bread was a staple food for thousands of years. Proper bread without any white or refined flour will actually help keep blood sugar stable.

ANCIENT GRAIN SOURDOUGH BREAD- The best source of carbohydrates is actually real wholegrain bread.

At Joseph's Organic Bakery our Bread is truly 100% wholegrain, no refined flour added, keeping blood sugar levels stables. Check out our  Einkorn Bread .

3) Take long walks in nature

Walks in nature lowers cortisol.

4) Magnesium - epsom salt baths. Magnesium reduces both physical and emotional stress

5) Engage in Physical/social activities that bring you joy- this could include dance, karate, art classes, tai chi, anything that you find fun and relaxing

6) Fix your Gut - Good Gut Health is essential for Mood and Energy-

Focus on High Energy foods not dead foods. Processed foods are dead food- choose food that is alive whole unprocessed full of nutrients and probiotics. These foods will give you energy.

7) Get Sleep-

This is a hard one that i really struggle with. I tend to just fall asleep with the lights and TV on, which invariably leads to bad sleep. Ideally all lights and devices should be turned off a minimum of 30 minutes before bed to ensure we get good sleep. Sleep helps flush cortisol out of the body.

Chronically Elevated Cortisol levels due to stress or illness, can cause adrenal burnout or adrenal fatigue.

ADRENAL FATIGUE is a major culprit behind low energy, low immunity, inflammation,  low libido, and it can even lead to high blood pressure, and high blood sugar.
