TV doc Xand van Tulleken has shed light on a simple exercise for anyone who struggles with cramps. Speaking for BBC Morning Live, he claimed that such a habit can reduce the 'severity and frequency' of pains, which are often quite troublesome at night.

"So, stretching is one of the main things that people talk about when you've got a cramp and to prevent cramps," he said on the show's Instagram page. "So, for your bedtime routine, this is about relaxing and stretching your muscles out to get them ready for lying down in bed."
