What food generally helps with muscle cramps ? (On the other hand) are dill pickles healthy ?

I usually make sure I'm getting enough magnesium and potassium to help with cramps or twitches. In a deficit I usually have to supplement.
And why wouldn't dill pickles be healthy? It's a pickle.1 -
Yep, what she said! If you're cramping you're probably low on magnesium, potassium or both. For me it was potassium, once I started paying attention to that it solved my problems.1

Pickles are good -- mostly vinegar and salt.1

Not really a fruit, but coconut water is a very rich source of both of these things and some unsweetened brands are as low as 30 calories per cup! I personally hate the taste of plain coconut water but I found by blending it with protein powder (I prefer Quest) it tastes much better and adds a really neat tropical twist! Very refreshing!2
