You wake up in the morning and your whole body aches, or maybe just parts of it from old injuries. You cannot seem to find the energy you used to have and you just feel old in general. Unfortunately there is no cure for time. What you can do is banish the soreness and painful twinges, restore a positive attitude and once again become vital.
Chronic fatigue syndrome can be responsible for such symptoms but using conventional medicine may be a lost cause. Physicians have a difficult time diagnosing such a broad spectrum of complaints and are prone to excuse the symptoms as simply aging and psychosomatic issues. You know it is something more and it becomes a frustrating exercise in regaining your life.
Friends and family, those who only wish you well will have a myriad of suggestions for you, not to mention a variety of elixirs and serums for you to buy and try. Sleep and physical therapy might do a bit of good but are normally a lost cause and waste of time. Something else is wrong and you know it but can’t pinpoint it.
It is not simply in your head. There are real physical reasons why you are experiencing this Chronic Fatigue syndrome as well as the soreness and body aches that accompany it. What you are ingesting for food will have a strong bearing on how you are feeling. When you eat fatty foods and refined vegetable oils the pain will actually worsen. Eating fish for omega 3 fatty acids and flaxseed oil will make you feel better. When you load up on enriched carbohydrates you will make your condition worse. However, fiber rich carbohydrates will increase your energy output and aid in maintaining it.
You should also have yourself tested by a physician for food allergies. Many of these foods allergens begin to show themselves in later life as we age. Once your testing is completed you can start to steer clear of the foods which are giving you a problem. Perhaps it is dairy products or even wheat that is the culprit. The answer could very well mark an incredible enhancement in your life.
Everyone’s body makes a chemical known as neurotransmitter serotonin that, when and if you are lacking in it, can be the cause of much of your misery making you feel old and causing Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Serotonin is responsible for mood management and when you are short on it you will have feelings of hopelessness, gloom and unhappiness. You will have a feeling of enhanced pain when the body is short of serotonin supply.
Taking antidepressants will make you feel good but does not get to the root of the problem. It will only mask symptoms and you will suffer a host of mid range adverse reactions to the drugs. There are natural solutions, backed up by peer reviewed evidence and solid research that are not dangerous. St. John’s Wort, SAMe, and 5-HIP are natural health supplements that invigorate and augment serotonin supplies innately.
If you are not yourself any longer and becoming a grump to live with, find some assistance. A better diet and natural health supplements are just what the doctor didn’t order for you. Hey will however, reenergize you and make you feel like a kid again…almost!
