Apples’ antioxidants are some of the most powerful known, and they help control blood sugar. Papaya’s vitamin C supports adrenal glands, while its flavonoids help “recycle” vitamin C in the body....

Savor Salmon to End Fatigue

Salmon is an incredible healer, with a broad range of essential nutrients that support overall health. It is also an important component of the fatigue healing diet, in part because of its rich stores of omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin B12, both of which have been shown to ease fatigue. 1. Fatigue fades with omega-3-rich salmon. Studies have linked omega-3 deficiency to chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). Omega-3 fatty acids are...

Grass-Fed Lean Meats Pump Up Energy

Beef can be healthy and diminish fatigue? You bet! But you won’t get those health benefits from a greasy old beef burrito made from a factory-farmed cow “finished” in a feedlot, shot up with antibiotics, dipped in pesticides and wallowing in pathogens. You’ll find healthy beef comes from happy cows fed on pasture. That increases nutrients essential to healing fatigue, including omega-3s, B and E vitamins and...

Say Yo to Yogurt to Heal Fatigue

Too tired to eat your cereal in the morning? Then it’s time to switch to yogurt for breakfast. Deep fatigue is linked to a compromised immune system, which is primarily found in the gut, where friendly bacteria fight off “bad” bugs and heal the intestinal barrier critical to immune functioning. Probiotics like yogurt and kefir contain live organisms that support gut flora and the immune system. That’s good news. A...

Recharge Your Batteries With Vitamin D-Rich Salmon

Get hooked on wild salmon if you’re serious about healing debilitating fatigue.

Poultry Gobbles Up Fatigue

Free-range, or pastured, chicken and turkey are great sources of omega-3 essential fatty acids, the cornerstone of a healthy anti-inflammatory diet for people dealing with fatigue. Poultry is also high in selenium, which provides antioxidant and immune system support; B vitamins, critical to energy production; and lean protein, which slows glucose metabolism. These nutrients help strengthen the adrenal glands, your main...
