Cucumber pickles Able to Overcome Muscle Cramps

Apparently, not only a tasty dill pickle flavoring used for some types of food. Juice or water from cucumber event also has the ability to heal muscle cramps.

There is a scientific explanation of this extraordinary ability. Brigham Young University has made an examination of how ACR cucumber juice can affect muscle cramps caused by heavy exercise. Research leave from the theory (though not yet confirmed its truth) that some elements of the pickle juice may be more capable of overcoming cramps than water, bananas, or drinks that contain electrolytes. This also answers the question what causes cramps in people who are active, and why this problem so easily happen.

"Muscle cramps caused by exercise physiology is one mystery that continues," said Gretchen Reynolds, a writer in New York Times blog.

Scientists seem to disagree about why people are diligent exercise and how to overcome cramps. Nevertheless, the coaches athletes began mendengungkan success they experienced thanks to the use of dill pickle juice. The trainers were also surveyed, to determine how often they gave it to the client, and what were the results. However, these studies reported a new Brigham Young was the first laboratory tests on these.

This study is only on a small scale only. A total of 10 healthy students were asked to do exercises. After being trained to become dehydrated, the radius of the participants are stimulated electrically. This causes cramping, so participants are then asked to relax until the discomfort is berangsung missing.

After that, participants are stimulated again resulting in a second muscle spasms. This time, they were asked to drink approximately 60 ml of water or juice diionisasi cucumber event. From this experiment showed that participants who drank only water recovered after an average of 2.5 minutes. However, when participants are given a dill pickle juice, cramps can be cured 45 percent faster.

Sure, it's hard to create the conditions in cramps caused by exercise testing, let alone the cramps do not occur in the large muscle groups. Researchers suggest that only the participants to practice the right way and slowly, so that the muscles do not experience fatigue. Another common way to cope is by doing stretching cramps.
