I'm prone to cramps in my calfs and thighs...maybe it can be
attributed to my power-lifting past...anyway...when it's hot and
humid, I tend to up my normal consumption of fluids (I normally drink
about two liters a day).

However, I can tell when I'm depleting my salts, mainly potassium
because I get bouts of leg muscle cramps (charley horses) and it
reminds me to up my suppliments or eat a couple of bananas..a great
source of potasium.
