Iron transports oxygen to every cell, including muscles. A deficiency can lead to fatigue and cramps.

Sources:  red meat, lentils, spinach, fortified cereals.
Tip :  combine your iron-rich foods with a source of vitamin C (orange, kiwi, bell pepper) to triple its absorption. 

A few simple steps to prevent cramps

• • Drink regularly throughout the day.
  • Stretch your legs before going to bed.
  • Walk or cycle for a few minutes to get the circulation going again.
  • Massage your calves with a light oil after showering.

Leg cramps are not an inevitable consequence of aging. By adopting a varied, nutrient-rich diet, you can regain more flexible, stronger, and lighter legs.

Because at any age,  movement remains the most beautiful sign of vitality.
