I’m a 16:8 faster and I work on my feet 8hours a day. I also run. Some days I will fast longer. I am a huuuge water drinker too.
Recently I’ve had so much pain in my feet, I was diagnosed with Plantar Fasciitis. I tried stretching, recovery shoes, getting insoles, new work and running shoes, only running on a flat treadmill, to no avail. I was hurting bad by the end of even a short day of work, and I’m not even 30 yet, so I knew there was something seriously wrong.
Well I did a lot of research and saw PF can be caused by magnesium deficiency. I figured why not. I got a powder you add to your water, 0 calories. 3 days in I feel like a completely new person with no pain at all. It makes perfect sense!
Please don’t forget your electrolytes, fasters!! Your health and enjoyment of life depends on it!!
Answer
Electrolytes are so important, especially when exercising on top of fasting! I take the Reset electrolyte fasting capsules which also come in a great sleep version that has magnesium glycinate for my leg cramps!
