Orange juice and bananas.  My husband has cancer and as a side effect of treatments has significant fluid retention.  He has been prescribed a diuretic, which can cause potassium to drop.  His oncology team has told us he needs to eat bananas and drink orange juice every day.

For potassium pills you will need to see a Doctor, which is always a good idea.\n\n  Eating Bananna's helps too.  Google Potassium sometime, it will help you find all the natural sources.\n\n  But leg cramps are not Always caused by low potassium, and too much potassium can be a problem as well, so my first advice is still best.\n\n  Talk to a Doctor.

All fruits and veggies are good. Dark veggies have more nutrients than light veggies, ie: sweet potatoes are better than russet potatoes, spinach has more nutrients than lettuce, etc. Fruits are excellent. Citrus fruits contain Vitamin C, Bananas are a good source of potassium, Apples have Vitamin A. I can't think of an unhealthy fruit! Sport drinks should be drank in moderation. Water is best! Sport drinks contain a lot of sodium, which is good if you've been sweating a lot, but not just as a regular drink.

An imbalance of the other major blood chemicals which are calcium, sodium and potassium.  If your potassium level is too low, your magnesium level can be elevated.  Potassium is available in potatoes and bananas.  Calcium is in milk and cheese and the small bones in tiny fish like sardines and anchovies.  Sodium is in salt.  They work together in your body and an imbalance in one can effect the absorption or elimination of the others.

Don't eat junk food (McDonalds, etc.) because it will poison you.  Bread and grains should work.  Also, you should exercise your legs (ride a bicycle, for example) to gain some muscles.
