First of all, what is a muscle?

A muscle can be seen as a part of the body that helps us move, stand up and keep our body stable and good shape.

Literally muscle can be categorize in to three which are; skeletal muscles, smooth muscles and heart muscles.

Thus, muscle:

• Help us to move around.
• Keep us healthy and sound.
• Support our bones to make it more stronger.
• Keep our body working properly and energetic.

However, Muscle twitching refers to a small muscle contractions in the body systems. It can also be seen as a situations when the muscle jump or moved unexpectedly in our body system

The following are some of the common causes of muscle twitching, experiencing by humans on daily basis and these includes:

With this and Many more causes depending on an individual reactions and health conditions.

✍️How can we prevent our muscles from twitching?

To be honest, to the best of my abilities if the symptoms persist, my candid advice is for that person to visit his or her doctor for proper checkup and treatment, which is the easiest ways of preventing muscle twitching.

Although there are many other ways of preventing our muscles from twitching though is never easy sometimes but the following ways are:

• Eating balance diet: This is very significant in reducing our muscles from twitching, food that are very nutritional helps in preventing our muscles from twitching.

• Get enough time to sleep or rest, this also helps a lot in reducing the rates of muscle twitching in our body system.

• Avoid taking caffeine or there should be a limit for taking it.

• Reducing the way you smoke or stop it completely, because Nicotine is considered a mild stimulant that affects our central nervous system which are bad. However when we stop smoking, it also helps to lower the risk of other serious health problems in the body system.

Finally, always ensure you visit any medical health care centers Incase if your muscle twitching persist, on this note I would like to invite @dave-hanny @alfazmalek and @jyoti-thelight to also participate.
