How hot water cures muscle cramps??
Asked by Kiriti | 16 Feb, 2020, 11:31: AM
Expert Answer
- The muscle cramps occur when muscle cells respire anaerobically.
- The partial breakdown of glucose produces lactic acid.
- The accumulation of lactic acid causes muscle cramps.
- We get relief from cramps after a hot water bath or a massage. Hot water bath or massage improves circulation of blood.
- As a result, the supply of oxygen to the muscle cells increases. The increase in the supply of oxygen results in the complete breakdown of lactic acid into carbon dioxide and water.
