Suffer leg cramps: Enjoy an Epsom soak

Muscle aches and exhaustion are telltale signs you need more magnesium—a mineral that prods the brain to produce its key energy enzyme (ATP), plus helps muscles relax so they don’t cramp, says Robin Miller, M.D., author of Healed. Fortunately, British scientists have found that soaking in an Epsom salts bath for 20 minutes a night boosts magnesium levels by 36 percent—enough to cut fatigue and cramping in half in a week.
