Anti-cramp snack / brain-activating meal

Share it

By Adriana Gracie

Muscle cramps are painful, involuntary contractions, caused by an imbalance in sodium, potassium, calcium or magnesium in the body, or insufficient blood circulation in the muscle. Cramps may also be set off by very low temperatures and excessive exercise, but especially for one simple reason: a lack of water in the body. Water is an essential nutrient often forgotten. To better hydrate your body, cut your intake of all drinks containing caffeine, like coffee, tea and soft drinks.

1 leaf of collard greens
2 stalks of celery
1 sprig of parsley

Begin by making the frothy cucumber juice. Wash the greens and legumes under running water and put everything, including the brewer’s yeast, in the centrifuge – with the exception of the parsley.
