Dr. Berg discussed what causes nocturnal leg cramps or leg and feet cramps at night on a ketogenic diet.
Electrolytes are electrically charged minerals that help the connectivity of certain things in the body specifically muscles and nerves. It also helps to push fluid in and out of the cells. Nocturnal leg cramps are really an electrolyte problem. Potassium and magnesium minerals are both involved in relaxing the body and helping it feel calm and also the ability of the muscle to fully relaxed.
