Answer 1

when you do sports you sweat and minerals are leaving your body. You have to replace them. It's really quite simple. Dehydration can cause severe pain in the muscles. I recommend you drink purified water mixed with mineral water 50/50. This will replace the minerals that are exiting your body continuously. Remember it's the mineral water that's critical to stopping the cramps.

I suggest that adults and children drink 40 ounces of water per 100 pounds of body weight every day. Realize that exercise, ambient temperature, and state of health affect the water needs of your body. One tip for athletes: it is healthier to drink a sports drink or water than fruit juice, soda, coffee, or milk during competition or active training periods.

You can buy analgesic creams that can help reduce the pain at any drug store. You can ask the pharmacist for a recommendation.
