Are you drinking plenty water 7days a week sometimes dehydration is cause for cramp 😊

Sometimes cramping can be caused from low potassium levels (or at least it’s the case for me when scuba diving). I’ve always been told to eat bananas before diving. Why not give that a go, on top of drinking plenty of water like Buddy34 mentioned.
