A low blood level of calcium (hypocalcemia), which can make the nervous system highly irritable, causing spasms of the hands and feet (tetany), muscle cramps, abdominal cramps, overly active reflexes. Foods rich in calcium are the best source; such as non-fat or low-fat dairy foods, including milk, yogurt. Other sources of calcium are dark green vegetables, such as broccoli and kale, and oily fish, such as sardines and salmon with bones. Orange juice is often calcium-fortified, and some cereals have added calcium.
