Take Care of Your Lungs
As we get into the holiday season, many of us are filling our already full schedules with holiday gatherings, hosting family, shopping, and so much more. We can experience fatigue that may be temporary, but for some of us, the problem seems to go a lot deeper.
How do we alleviate the problems associated with chronic fatigue syndrome? First, know that you’re not alone. It is a perplexing and complicated disorder affecting 836,000 to 2.5 million Americans!
An integrative approach can be beneficial.
For pain, there are over the counter medications such as ibuprofen, naproxen sodium, and CBD.
Talking with a counselor can help build coping skills to deal with chronic illness, address any limitations at work or school and improve family dynamics.
If you’re experiencing sleep deprivation, it can exacerbate other symptoms, so avoiding caffeine or changing bedtime routines may help.
Incorporating exercise with a low intensity plan that increases gradually over time could be beneficial.
Along with exercise, eating a healthy diet in polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats while avoiding saturated fats and refined carbohydrates can help. Other things to stay away from include sugar, chemical sweeteners, alcohol and gluten.
Natural supplements where encouraging results have been noted are: Carnitine, Coenzyme Q10, Magnesium, Melatonin, Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), and Ribose.
Finally, it’s worth taking the time: ASK US ABOUT LOW-DOSE NALTREXONE!
