About Fatigue

The main ‘symptom’ presented in most nutrition practices is fatigue.  It accompanies many health problems, whether they be slight or serious.  Fatigue is often a sign that your health needs to be improved.  Look for general toxicity in the body, constipation, blood sugar problems, allergies, hypothyroidism, depression, malabsorption, glandular fever, low blood pressure, high blood pressure, allergy or food sensitivity, candidiasis, cancer, arthritis, and so on.  If there aren’t any underlying health problems, are you eating a poor diet, with lots of sugar, caffeine, white flour (bread and pasta) and alcohol?  Are you stressed?  Are you sleeping badly?  Is there geopathic stress in your home?

Nutrition facts & Diet Advice for Fatigue

The following is a nutrition guide for fatigue:

• Eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables, both raw and lightly cooked, nuts and seeds, brown rice and millet, white and oily fish, and some organically reared skinless chicken and turkey. 

• Avoid sugar, alcohol, caffeine, white flour and any ‘junk’ foods or processed foods.

• Use plenty of Klamath Lake Blue Green algae – a great energiser (but build up slowly, as it’s very detoxifying which is best done slowly). 

• Drink at least 1½ litres of clean spring or filtered water every day.

• Exercise regularly, and sleep sufficiently. 

• Lose weight if you need to.  See Weight Management.  If these suggestions, plus the supplements below, don’t help, see your Doctor to rule out underlying health problems.

Supplements - Fatigue

Often, a combination of supplements may help in alleviating this condition. You may wish to consult a nutritional therapist for personal advice. Supplements that may be helpful in alleviating symptoms are shown below:

• 3-9 capsules of  AquaSource Klamath Lake Blue Green Algae. Start with 2 capsules per day and build up to 6 or more per day over about 2 months.   Drink plenty of water during the day, as the algae is very detoxifying and needs the water.

• Nature's Sunshine Liquid Chlorophyll

• Vitamin B Complex (Biocare)

• True Food GTF Chromium Plus per day (Higher Nature) (Caution: this may lower insulin requirements, so if Diabetic consult with your doctor first)

• Ultra Vitamin C Plus per day (Higher Nature)

• Consider ocean kelp (Higher Nature)
