energy...?

Question

I didnt know if there was anything that could boost my energy naturally. I've been eating better, exercising, and getting enough sleep. I dont understand why i feel like i'm dragging my feet all the time. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Are you getting enough of the B complex group of vitamins?? Fatigue and exhaustion are B 12 vitamin deficiency symptoms, other symptoms are headaches and migraines, insomnia, constipation, excessive sweating, nausea and vomiting, tingling and prickling and numbing sensations in the outer extremities, moodiness, irritability, inability to concentrate, loss of balance, dizzy spells and even chest pains and heart palpitations!! Pretty scary if you don't realise the vitamin factor ............ eat more foods rich in this vitamin -: organ meats such as lambs fry and kidneys, skimmed milks, cheese, fish and eggs. If you are vegetarian then supplement your diet with a multi B complex tablet. One that includes all the B's - B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 and B12 as they work best synergistically (together). B complex vitamins are water soluble thus our bodies are unable to store them and we must replenish our bodies with them on a daily basis or suffer a myriad of symptoms.

Expect to pay around $30.00 for 125 tablets - buy hey, what price your health and sanity??

GOOD LUCK

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome :- This is also known as the 'post viral syndrome' or 'myalgic enchphalomylitis;. This is a syndrome in which person suffering from an acute illness never seems to recover fully from it. Even after the acute illness is over, the patient does not feel well and complains of malaise, fatigue, myalgia, headache, and exhaustion.

Not known specifically. Usually occurs after an acute viral illness.
Enteroviruses are implicated.
Often occurs after mononucleosis.
Overexertion (mental or physical) during an acute illness can predispose to it.
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - MECHANISM - WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS?

Not known so far.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS

The most pronounced symptom is 'fatigue'. the person always feels very tired, sometimes so much that even going from one room to other may seem like a chore.
Myalgia or body ache
General malaise and headache
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - HOW DIAGNOSIS IS MADE?

Diagnosis is usually done clinically.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - WHAT TO DIFFERENTIATE FROM?

Acute viral illness is often followed by a week or two of weakness and sleepiness. This should not cause unnecessary worry.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - HOMEOPATHIC Medicines & TREATMENT
Homeopathy is the only form of treatment that I have seen working in this condition. But even with homeopathic drugs it may take a few months to resolve this condition fully. But considering that there is no conventional treatment and most people suffer for years, a few months may be a very short period.

Some of the medicines that I have found of use in this condition are carbo-veg, china, mygale-l, sarcolactic acid, natrum-sal etc.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - CONVENTIONAL TREATMENT

No specific treatment is available
A few individuals partially respond to anti-depressant medication
WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?

Deep breathing and walking in fresh air can increase the energy levels.
A well balanced nutritious diet with ample fluids should be taken.
Avoid mental and physical exertion during an acute illness. Try to take proper rest. DO NOT ' pop-a-pill and go-to work' if you are not feeling very well.

Answer 3

Ganoderma Lucidum, or Reishi Mushroom has several different compounds that serve to boost energy levels.

I gave some to my 73 yr. old father, and the difference was like night and day! He does construction work every day, and comes home still energized at the end of the day.

There are several sources for this, but I find it's easier to remember to take it if its in my coffee. You can get a free sample at the link below.

Answer 4

Try acupuncture. I suffer from the same problem, but a treatment every three weeks helps boost my energy levels. And I can promise you, it's not painful, or else I wouldn't be doing it!
