Many of us are very well-familiar with the symptoms of CFS, or chronic fatigue syndrome. Modern people, especially women, have so many things to do and tasks to accomplish, and sometimes we feel that something’s got broken inside of us. We feel apathy, fatigue, extreme weakness and hopelessness. Some specialists tend to believe that chronic fatigue syndrome is linked to certain sicknesses, and some suggest that those are the symptoms of old age. Well, those are just theories, but now we need to know what to do if notorious CFS is your frequent guest. Below, you can find the tips on how to beat chronic fatigue syndrome and always remain energetic and positive.
1. Wake up in the morning and go to bed at the same time. Also, have your meals and exercise at the same time of the day. Scheduled activities will help you to get adapted to physical and metal difficulties we all going through in spring.
2. Take a shower in the morning. On of the best relaxing procedures you can offer your body in the morning.

The above tips are great! Thanks for your blog. However, there is another good nutrient for chronic fatigue syndrome that you did not mention. It is CoQ10, a vitamin-like substance that is required by every cell in the body for the production of energy. Medication, aging, strenuous exercise and other factors can deplete the levels of CoQ10 in the body.

Absolutely! I agree. In addition to COq10, modafinil and carrot plus ginger juice works wonders.
Also have more slow release carbs as opposed to sugary sweet simple carbs. And ecercise!

Dear Maria, I used to work with C2 and team for eH long time ago but had to stop because I had to travel and live abroad due to my hubby’s work. C2 has worked very hard and has the heart of gold, she taught me not to give up and encouraged me to always be independent. She has done wonders with Salam Wanita. My best regards to her and her team.
