Outsmart warm-weather charley horses

Savor drumsticks

As we age, it becomes harder for our body to absorb crampblocking B vitamins. The fix: Grill up drumsticks and a side of spinach for dinner. Together, dark-meat chicken and leafy greens boast all of the daily B vitamins needed to prevent leg cramps for 86% of us, suggests research in The Journal of Clinical Pharmacology. The B vitamins reduce the frequency of charley horses and curb the intensity and duration if you do experience a flare-up. Or simply supplement with a daily B-complex vitamin.
