If you suspect you have chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) or have been diagnosed with it, you know that while medications can offer symptomatic relief, no treatment exists for the underlying illness. CFS is not only debilitating, but also can be profoundly discouraging. 

 

What role does nutrition play in managing CFS? Instead of addressing individual symptoms, nutrition supports overall health and healing.  Nutritional Weight & Wellness recommends the following dietary guidelines for those with CFS.

·         When your immune system is compromised, your body needs sufficient protein (best from animal sources), along with nutrient-dense carbohydrates from vegetables, and healthy fats (avocados, nuts, olive oil and butter). 

·         Eating several times per day stabilizes your blood sugar, which helps maintain energy levels.

·         A diet of whole, real foods provides nutrition that is superior to that of processed foods.  Eliminate or avoid sugar and processed foods because they deplete vitamins and minerals and weaken your immune system.

 

Nutritional Weight & Wellness has helped many people with CFS rebuild their immune systems, restore intestinal health, decrease symptoms and increase energy.  If you would like help with the health and lifestyle challenges you face, an individual consultation is the best place to start. Changing the way that you eat can dramatically improve your health and energy.
