Frequent cramps in the feet can be caused by several factors including muscle fatigue or overuse, dehydration, electrolyte imbalances (like low potassium, magnesium, or calcium), poor circulation, nerve damage, and wearing improper or tight shoes. Sitting for long periods, overexerting the foot muscles, or standing on hard surfaces can also contribute. Sometimes, medical conditions such as diabetes, thyroid disorders, or vitamin deficiencies may cause recurrent foot cramps. To reduce cramps, it helps to stay hydrated, wear well- fitting shoes, stretch regularly, and maintain a balanced diet rich in essential minerals.
