Why Do My Muscles Cramp?

This topic came up twice in the last two days so I thought I would put together a little information about muscle cramps.  I have suffered with muscle cramps in my gastrocs, quads, and the very painful abdominals throughout my life.  In my case, it is due to dehydration and mineral depletion due to diet, medications and exercise.  Whatever the case may be for you, it is generally treatable if you gently stretch the involved muscle, stay hydrated, eat right, and supplement with minerals if you need to.
