Hello, leg cramps may indicate calcium deficiency. We recommend drinking plenty of water and consuming foods rich in electrolytes—such as potassium, calcium, and magnesium—including dark leafy greens, bananas, and legumes. When walking, wear low-heeled, well-supportive footwear to avoid excessive tension in the calf muscles. Additionally, perform gentle stretching exercises after walking, exercising, or prolonged sitting. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you a happy and healthy life!
