Muscle cramps come from working out too hard or sleeping wrong. True, those factors matter. But the kidneys also regulate electrolyte levels, especially calcium, sodium, magnesium, and potassium. An imbalance in these minerals can lead to cramps, spasms, or that weird twitch in the eyelid.
Smooth, cramp-free muscles, especially during sleep or after physical activity, quietly tell a story of balanced minerals and happy kidneys. When things are off, the body often protests through nighttime leg cramps or stiffness after sitting too long.
