Drink Water:

Drinking water may seem like such an ordinary thing. But staying hydrated is vital for a healthy body. There is a close link between muscle cramps and dehydration. So, you need to make sure that you have enough fluids in your body to prevent that from happening. Try to drink at least 2 liters of water everyday. If you exercise, make sure that you drink water before and after your workout sessions. Drinking water maintains the electrolyte balance in our body, which is another important reason for leg cramps.

Eat Potassium Rich Food:

Potassium deficiency can cause leg cramps. If you do not have enough potassium in your body, then you need to consider eating more sources of potassium or start eating potassium supplements with your meals. Potassium rich fruits include oranges, bananas, grapes, apricots, nectarines, dates, or raisins, etc. Meat like pork, lamb, saltwater fish etc., and vegetables like cabbage or broccoli are also rich sources of potassium.

Drink Milk:

Drinking warm milk before going to bed is recommended to ward off leg cramps. Try drinking cow milk because the calcium in the milk helps you to get rid of the leg cramps.

Massage the Tightened Muscle Gently:

The best thing to do when leg cramp strikes is to massage the tightened muscles gently. Try to stretch the leg, if you can and bend the ankle backwards, stretching the calf muscle. Or use a hot water bottle or water bag on the affected area to make the contracted muscles relax.

Exercise:

If you embark on an exercise program, make sure it is suitable for you. Consult with your instructor and learn a proper stretching routine. Be sure to warm up and stretch before you exercise. Do not work out for prolonged periods or over-exert yourself. And never jump into a new exercise routine and overdo it. Sudden bursts of activity and over exercises can lead to leg cramps later.

Footwear:

People with flat foot and other structural problems have more chances of getting leg cramps. Use proper footwear, especially when exercising. This can prevent leg cramps to a huge extent

EPA and the regulation of greenhouse gasses

By
This week, EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy joined private and public sector leaders for a second annual White House roundtable discussion about the progress made and new steps taken to curb emissions of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), potent greenhouse gases used in refrigeration and air conditioning. Administrator McCarthy announced several new actions the agency will take to help support a smooth transition to climate-friendly alternatives to HFCs. "EPA is working closely with industry leaders to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, transition to climate-friendly refrigerants, and deploy advanced refrigeration technologies,” said EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy. “The powerful combination of EPA’s regulatory actions and innovations emerging from the private sector have put our country on track to significantly cut HFC use and deliver on the goals of the President’s Climate Action Plan.” Among the actions announced today, EPA proposed a rule that would improve t...

iPad Pro Review

By
The iPad Pro is, at first glance, completely crazy. A giant iPad with all the limitations of iOS, coupled with added bulk that makes it harder to tote, and a price tag that starts at Rs. 70,000 , all make it a hard sell. That's only the starting price though, and you're going to end up paying a lot more for this tablet. Realistically, you should get the 128GB model, which costs Rs. 79,900, and also the Apple Smart Keyboard , which will set you back by Rs. 14,900. Artists, designers, and others might also need to buy the Apple Pencil , priced at Rs. 8,600 - which means a final price tag between Rs. 94,800 and Rs. 1,03,400. At that price, you can't really compare it to the iPad Air 2 , the last 10-inch model to be released, with an MRP of Rs. 49,900 for the 128GB variant.
