I have not found any benefit from cutting down on saturates and replacing them with monounsaturates. However, medium chain fats (MCT's) may be helpful.

Can inadequate stretching and muscle fatigue cause muscle cramps?

Crampex | Don't let cramp tie you up in knots
Muscles are bundles of fibres that contract and expand to produce movement. A regular program of stretching lengthens muscle fibres so they can contract and tighten more vigorously when you exercise. When your body is poorly conditioned, you are more likely to experience muscle fatigue, which when coupled with overexertion depletes a muscle’s oxygen supply, leading to build up of waste product and spasms.

I have been experiencing calf cramps now that I am pregnant. What can I do to help this?

The Pregnancy Centre
During pregnancy many women notice that they experience calf cramps, especially at night time when sleeping (or trying to sleep). There are varied causes of calf cramps during pregnancy, but no noted single cure for them. One of the reasons your calf muscles may cramp is because you have an extra 40-50% of blood volume in your system which needs to be pumped around your body.
