I am a young man 33 and I have found the same problem over the years I slowly became less active and had increased a poor diet of fast food, along with doctors medications, I slowly lost my youth, sleeping all day, and only eating when I awakened, without fruits (high in potassium like bananas which help relieve and "stop" muscle crampings), poor diet in general, I gained an enormous amount of weight, I sat at my computer all day, as an IT professional. Then when lunch break came I had very limited healthy options from surrounding restaurants even grocery stores had only processed foods. My own personal confession, a result of poor dieting and lack of physical exercise, led to extreme foot pain when I finally did start to exercise again, but it was too late. It starts first with a balanced diet, you need to get up and walk more often, exercise, stretch before and after, at least an hour both before and after I recommend, and accept your physical limitations, like not over exerting yourself to gain minor results only to lose them later with more poor dieting and poor exercise. I know people work a lot these days but for your own personal health, stretching the back legs muscles doing toes touches alone can relieve a lot of foot cramping and calf soreness especially if you are on your feet all day, small aerobic movement with your arms, bending at the waist, small movements your coach in school used to teach you are still highly effective as an adult. A high fiber diet will curb your food cravings (beans, boiled potatoes, remove a lot salt and sugar and processed foods)and foods high in potassium like I stated earlier (bananas) will relieve cramps immediately with in 2 to 3 days and I mean while you are on your feet, not eat a banana and then wait, you have to absorb the potassium into your body for it to be effective. At first a healthy diet will make you sick but in time you will feel better and better and you will become healthy in the process. So losing weight, regular diet and exercise, all three things will contribute to better foot health and overall pain relief.
