What good nutrition can alleviate

Eating is something we do everyday. It sustains us and keeps us healthy, or it can make us unhealthy.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)

It would appear that about a million people in Britain suffer from CFS at one time or another. This one disorder has many names from post viral syndrome to yuppie flu. Until 1990 CFS was known as ME (myalgic encephalomyelitis) The profound and persistent characteristic of CFS is exhaustion. Difficulty in sleeping, concentrating, performing daily functions and often depression.
Suspected infectious virus agents such as Epstein-Barr and Candida have been suggested and if the body is undernourished or stressed these infections can have severe effects. Nutritional Therapy is an excellent way forward to overcoming CFS as nutritional deficiency can exacerbate fatigue, so an optimal diet and optimum digestion and absorption is necessary. Relaxation techniques and a good nights sleep will help to manage stress and any underlying depression and herbs can bolter the adrenal glands and secrete hormones to counteract stress and boost energy.
