You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I woke up at 530AM with a terrible cramp in my calf. OWWW. Guess I need to eat more...something? Magnesium?

Magnesium and potassium. And, for me, sodium. I have 'fasting salts' at home. Leg and foot cramps are the bane of my existence and I hate them.

With me it's mag, because I have an absorption issue, so I take a ton, BUT... also make sure you're hydrated enough. Leg cramps at night for me is a sure sign that I'm dehydrated.

Samesies. They suck so hard.

The mighty potato! That has a lot of potassium.

Coconut water. If you're not crazy about coconut water, make lemonade with it.

What does one eat for potassium besides bananas?

Lots of stuff besides bananas. Any dried fruit is probably higher. Kiwi fruit is a good low sugar fruit option. Avocados have a lot of potassium if you eat a whole one. As Teppy noted, there are also potatoes, including sweet potatoes. Also winter squashes. Mushrooms I believe are pretty high.

Or, if you get the right mushrooms, they'll make you pretty high.

Also, if dehydration is an issue, I highly recommend making it a standard practice to add Morton's lite salt (or other 50% sodium/potassium blend) to the water you drink outside of meals. It gives you sodium to help your body actually absorb the water you drink and hydrate (versus peeing it all away) and balances that sodium addition with the potassium (those two minerals work in harmony). Note: This will also give you a regular source of iodine, which a lot of people are turning out to be deficient in since the rise of sea salt and the fact that high-sodium processed and fermented foods do not have iodine. I do 1/4 tsp per liter. You don't taste it. If you are hydrating before/during exercise, add 2 tsp of maple syrup for glucose.
