How to prevent muscle cramps


Ow! I had a super-duper cramp in my calf this morning, one of the worst in awhile.

So, when I got up, I stretched a bit, then hobbled over the the computer and searched on "ask.com" for "how to prevent muscle cramps." Here's a few useful links it gave me:

They all say pretty much the same thing: drink lots of water, eat bananas and oranges (for potassium and magnesium), don't let your muscles get too tight.
