4. Dehydration
A lot of health experts tend to recommend that people should drink at least eight glasses of water per day if they want to keep hydrated – but you should remember that this is only a general number and that the real figure of water that you should consume on a daily basis is a little different for everyone and depends on various factors like their weight and environment.
You don’t want to drink too much water either, as it can lead to other problems like bursting the stomach or a condition that’s called water toxicity – but you do want to drink just enough water to stay hydrated throughout the day. If you’re experiencing muscle cramps, one of the symptoms that could be behind it is simple lack of minerals and dehydration – try drinking some water, or a sports drinking containing the right mineral salts that you need in your diet.
