A friend of mine was doing up some research on how Vitamins can be useful in relieving Chronic Fatigue. It’s a good read!

Recent research has shown that nutritional supplements can play an important role in treating chronic fatigue.They can help strengthen your body’s immune system and digestive tract, and they can improve blood circulation and oxygen levels in the entire body, improving vitality.

Many vitamins and minerals can treat or prevent chronic fatigue. Though a high nutrient diet is important in combating fatigue, you will get better therapeutic results by including supplements as well.

Here are a list of remedies that you can take for chronic fatigue. Please note that this list is neither complete nor exhausive. Consult your doctor for dosage requirements and advice before taking any supplements. We are not responsible for the results of taking such supplements.

Vitamin A - Vitamin A can be found naturally in animal liver and vegetables such as carrot and sweet potato. It can also be purchased in pill form from a pharmacy. Vitamin A helps protect the body against invasion by pathogens which can cause chronic fatigue and weakness. It supports the production and maintenance of healthy skin, as well as the mucous membranes that line the mouth, lungs, digestive tract, bladder, and cervix. When these tissues are healthy, invaders have difficulty penetrating their membranes, the body’s first line of defense.

Be careful as very large amounts of vitamin A can be toxic.

Vitamin B Complex - There are a total of 12 B Vitamins. Extremely important for our well being are vitamins B6 and B12, found in potatoes and bananas. These vitamins support and increase the rate of metabolism and promote additional cell growth. Together they help combat the symptoms of stress and depression.

Vitamin C - Vitamin C is the most widely taken dietary supplement. It is found in various types of vegetables. Vitamin C is an antioxidant and can protect your body from free radicals. Consuming vitamin C will help your wounds heal faster and keep your gums healthy.

These past few days I have been super tired! Yesterday I had to stay up till 3am just to rush through a project which was to be submitted on that day. I had only 3 hours of sleep. That day I was so tired to the point of collapse. When I was younger I was able to sleep 3 hours a day yet still have the energy to go on for the day. Thank God it was an early day for me at school and took a long nap of 4 hours in the afternoon. But today my condition was the same as yesterday =/

Sometime back I read about an article from the local newspaper that 11pm-1am is the time when sleep is most crucial because the body is rebuilding and renewing our body tissues during this period of time. I am gonna try that for the next few weeks and see how this works out for me. There must surely be a way to get out of chronic fatigue. I am getting convinced now that sleeping regular hours (8 hours) with the same time fixture each day is gonna help.

Sleep kills frustration as well

Thank God for Sundays! I am always stretched throughout the week and Sundays are always the best days to take a good break from everything just to lie in bed and sleep

Work is gonna pile up in the next few weeks before Christmas break. It would be good to take some rest every now and then. When we get too busy, we always find that we can’t afford to rest. However I find that taking just a short while to stand and relax your muscles from the many hours of sitting down could you a lot.

So take a break, meet up some people for coffee and enjoy the day!
