Instructions

1. Up your intake on potassium rich foods like spinach or bananas. Oftentimes, people can develop foot cramps when they become deficient in potassium due to the body's inability to replenish potassium after a workout.

2. Eat more salty snacks. You don't have to go crazy with the sodium, but small snack like crackers or a handful of pretzels can make all the difference. Like being potassium deprived, low sodium levels can cause foot cramps. Prevent foot cramps by making sure that you get the recommended dosage of 1500-2300 milligrams of sodium each day.

3. Hydrate your body with water. You lose a lot of water when you sweat in high temperatures or after a workout, so restore what you've lost by drinking at least 6-8 glasses of water each day.

4. Flex and stretch your feet. Foot cramping can be the cause of stiffness in your joints and long days on your feet can contribute to its inability to be flexible.
