Healthy Healing: CFS Diet Plan

Healthy Healing: CFS Diet

 
You have probably heard the cliché "You are what you eat". Diet effects not only CFS patients, but everyone. Processed foods cause a burst of energy from sugar surges, followed by drowsiness and fatigue. I'm sure you can recall the tired, full feeling after a large meal of Chinese takeout. Although a great sleep remedy, Chinese food does not provide the body with the sufficient nutrients needed for energy conversions. Nutritious foods are specifically important in a CFS patient's diet. A healthy diet helps eliminate fatigue by producing natural energy that lasts all day. The first step to eliminate fatigue is to develop a healthy diet plan including nutrient rich organic foods and avoiding processed foods.


Foods to Avoid

It is important to avoid processed carbohydrates, such as the sugar or white flour found in white bread, crackers, cakes, cookies, and soda. Kent Holtorf, MD, a board-certified endocrinologist reported, “Sugar has multiple detrimental effects in CFS patients. It suppresses the immune system, increases inflammation, and stimulates yeast overgrowth in the intestines,” But that's not all... Sugar also causes a rapid rise in blood sugar, known as hypoglycemia. This causes symptoms of anxiety, fatigue, and even sugar cravings. Sugar tastes so good but feels so bad.

Healthy Foods

CFS patients should develop a diet plan based on a low-carb diet of organic and unprocessed foods. John Salerno, MD, specialized on CFS and states that this diet improves CFS symptoms. Some foods that are tolerated well by CFS patients are wild-caught fish, grass-fed meats, organic vegetables and eggs, and full-fat cheeses. To satisfy the sweet senses, add dark colored fruit like berries. 

In addition, increasing salt, water, and protein intake is also recommended. Some CFS patients become dehydrated by inadequate adrenal hormone levels and need to increase their salt and water intake. Consuming more proteins tend to help stabilize blood sugar and prevent hypoglycemia. 

So, next time you order Chinese take out, remember that input equals output. Even people without CFS should consider a healthy diet plan. Eating right is the first step to living healthy and feeling healthy and full of natural energy. Before taking prescription medications, CFS patients should try a low-carb diet to eliminate fatigue. Don't let unhealthy food stand in the way of living your life.

  1. Irrespective of receiving daily oral or future injectable depot therapies, these require health care visits for medication and monitoring of safety and response. If patients are treated early enough, before a lot of immune system damage has occurred, life expectancy is close to normal, as long as they remain on successful treatment. However, when patients stop therapy, virus rebounds to high levels in most patients, sometimes associated with severe illness because i have gone through this and even an increased risk of death. The aim of “cure”is ongoing but i still do believe my government made millions of ARV drugs instead of finding a cure. for ongoing therapy and monitoring. ARV alone cannot cure HIV as among the cells that are infected are very long-living CD4 memory cells and possibly other cells that act as long-term reservoirs. HIV can hide in these cells without being detected by the body’s immune system. Therefore even when ART completely blocks subsequent rounds of infection of cells, reservoirs that have been infected before therapy initiation persist and from these reservoirs HIV rebounds if therapy is stopped. “Cure” could either mean an eradication cure, which means to completely rid the body of reservoir virus or a functional HIV cure, where HIV may remain in reservoir cells but rebound to high levels is prevented after therapy interruption.Dr Itua Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from,Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Cancer,Scoliosis,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity
