Hand cramp is an unpleasant and unwanted sensation. It is advisable to prevent hand cramps to avoid experiencing the discomfort it brings. Here’s some ways you can prevent hand cramp:
- Build your hand and forearm strengths: In order to achieve this, you can engage in hand and forearm strengthening exercises such as squeezing on a small ball (10-15) squeezes per hand. Another great exercise is playing sports such as basketball or tossing a tennis ball against a wall. Be sure to stretch your hand daily.
- Eat healthy meals: Eating a nutritious meal will help you get adequate vitamins and minerals. Also, drinking about 8 glasses of water each day will help to flush toxins.
- Grip items sized for your hand: Gripping items that are too large or too small for your hand can cause cramps and discomfort. Ensure that your tools, utensils, workout equipment and household items fit your grip size
- Use comfortable mouse: If you spend much time using a computer mouse, it is essential that you get a mouse that does not require you to fold your hand in order to use it.
