Foods to cure chronic fatigue
Start with ample starches. Fruits and vegetables help to provide the carbohydrates the body needs for energy. They also supply the vitamins needed to resist infection.
Avoid alcohol. It lowers immunity, so should be avoided, and caffeinated drinks should be used in moderation to minimize sleep problems.
Eat to strengthen your immune system. Foods rich in zinc, such as seafood (especially oysters), meat, poultry, eggs, milk, beans, nuts, and whole grains, as well as foods rich in vitamin C, such as citrus fruits, berries, melons, kiwis, broccoli, and cauliflower, may help keep the immune system working properly. A robust immune system can help ward off certain viruses, such as flu and colds that may possibly precede the onset of CFS.
Consume more essential fatty acids. Some of the symptoms of CFS include swollen glands and inflammation of the joints, which may be relieved temporarily by foods rich in essential fatty acids. These include fish, nuts, seeds, flaxseed and flaxseed oil, canola oil, wheat germ, and leafy green vegetables.
