The Cure to Chronic Fatigue?

Everyone has nights with little sleep that leave them feeling tired the next day but for some, it’s a more common occurrence. If you feel constantly tired even when you do get lots of sleep, there may be a more significant factor at play. You could be struggling with chronic fatigue.

What Is Chronic Fatigue?

When we find ourselves constantly in a high-stress environment, our body may not be able to keep up with restoring itself. The overburdening of our bodies takes a toll on our adrenal glands responsible for releasing various stress hormones, cortisol being the most important. The gland becomes exhausted and cannot function properly. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is a disease categorized by extreme fatigue, sleep abnormalities, and pain that increases with activity. The main symptom is fatigue for over six months that does not improve with rest.

Research to discover possible triggers involves studying the relationship between stress, toxicants, food choices, the central nervous and immune system, and activation of a latent virus.
