Have they figured out why you get cramps nowadays? I have heard many explanations but none seems to be backed scientifically.

To prevent them, like most things; eat a healthy balanced diet with lots of vegetables, and exercise.
But if that's too much effort, drink some electrolytes.
Yeah so they haven't figured it out just yet (except when you lack nutrients etc) 😔.
I and my 3 brothers are like the "cramp brothers", insanely easy to get stupid cramps. And 2 of us have been world top athletes, so it's not a nutrition problem for us at least.
Magnesium. (prevents, not causes)
I've also heard that tonic water with quinine will stop cramping pretty much right away, though I haven't tried it personally.
Thank you. I can always use an excuse for a gin and tonic.
I saw a mosquito in my vicinity recently so I gotta do what I gotta do
