| | Fatigue Nutrition Is The New Sports Nutrition | | 2008-06-10 23:22:00 | | Today I am a proposing a new definition to the popular term Sports Nutrition. I would like Sports Nutrition to be called Fatigue Nutrition. Why? Because I believe that all endurance sports are based on the body’s ability to combat fatigue. I have been a runner now for 10 years and the most constant factor that affects my training and racing is fatigue. When the body and mind become fatigued only rest or nutrition can reverse the effects. Fatigue Nutrition is based on common sense and real life research. The common sense is eating a balanced diet consisting of non processed foods, fruits and vegetables. The research comes from 10 years of running and studying the great minds of endurance exercise and sports nutrition. Have you ever wondered what effects diet and rest have on endurance exercise? Try running a half marathon after eating a hamburger, French fries and a 32 oz soda. You would instantly know why Fatigue Nutrition is so important. Or try running a marathon after only sleepin | | By: Nutrition Facts, Nutrition Guides | | |

We all get tired. Many of us at times have felt depressed. But the mystery known as chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is not like the normal ups and downs we experience in everyday life. The early sign of this illness is a strong and noticeable fatigue that comes on suddenly and often comes and goes or never stops. You feel too tired to do normal activities or are easily exhausted with no apparent reason. The profound weakness of CFS does not go away with a few good nights of sleep. Instead, it slyly steals your energy and vigor over months and sometimes years.Chronic fatigue syndrome afflicts more women than men, causes overwhelming fatigue, sleep disorders and other severe symptoms.

| Relieving Chemotherapy Side Effects of Fatigue, Constipation, Nausea, Vomiting and Mouth Sores | | 2008-05-31 01:47:00 | | It's a very sad day when someone is diagnosed with cancer of any type. The diagnosis from the doctor can cause someone to want to give up and the person often rides an emotional roller coaster for the next several months.What many cancer patients fear most about cancer is the side effects of chemotherapy, such as hair loss, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, extreme fatigue, abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea, and mouth sores. The sad part about these chemotherapy side effects is that food doesn't taste good anymore, doesn't smell good, and there is constant irritation in the mouth from mouth sores during times when eating. Life is naturally full of social opportunities to partake of food together with loved ones, but when this happy part of life is taken away from someone, the cancer patient's emotions can easily turn downward to depression.During cancer treatments such as radiation and chemotherapy, it is difficult for a patient to consume the calories he or she needs to maintai | | By: To atoid the cancer | | |
| | Chronic Fatigue Syndrome No Longer Seen as ‘Yuppie Flu’ | | 2008-05-30 23:22:28 | | By DAVID TULLER
For decades, people suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome have struggled to convince doctors, employers, friends and even family members that they were not imagining their debilitating symptoms. Skeptics called the illness “yuppie flu” and “shirker syndrome.”
But the syndrome is now finally gaining some official respect. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which [...] | | By: ArticlesModern | | |
| | Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia - Embrace Your Sensitive Side | | 2008-04-29 02:31:06 | | As a former sufferer of hypoglycemia, adrenal fatigue and various allergic conditions I often asked myself 'why me?' I sometimes wish that I'd known then what I know now as it would have made it so much easier. I am here to offer you hope that you are not alone. It is suggested that the majority of people with fatigue disorders are sensitive people. Can you recognise yourself here? Are you easily overwhelmed by such things as bright lights, strong smells, coarse fabrics, or sirens nearby? Do you get rattled when you have a lot to do in a short amount of time? Do you make a point of avoiding violent movies and TV shows? Do you need to withdraw during busy days, into bed or a darkened room or some other place where you can have privacy and relief from the situation? Do you make it a high priority to arrange your life to avoid upsetting or overwhelming situations? Do you notice or enjoy delicate or fine scents, tastes, sounds, or works of art? Do you have a rich and complex inner life? Wh | | By: Health Care Guide | | |

| | Eye fatigue, Nearsightedness,myopia,blurred vision, eye pain | | 2007-11-23 03:12:00 | | Eye fatigueNearsightedness (Myopia)Blurred visionEye pain Poets throughout the ages have often looked upon the eyes as the "windows of the soul". With a somewhat less romantic view, we can see that the eyes and their surrounding tissues are among the body's most delicate structures. Most of us value our gift of sight above all other senses. The eye is actually a direct extension of the brain. The retina—the light-sensitive structure at the back of the eye—contains millions of rods and cones, which are specialized nerve endings which convert light into electrical impulses. These impulses are then conveyed by the optic nerve to the visual center at the back of the brain, where the individual interprets them as specific images.In Oriental medicine the sense of vision and the eyes are under the control of the liver. If eye sight is failing it is the liver that is also failing in its function. The whole body with all the internal organ functions are represented in the eye. With study one can diagnose many body conditions from observation of the eyes. They represent the physical, mental, and spiritual parts of a person.Self-ShiatsuWith the thumbs, press against the upper inside corners of the eye sockets, below the eyebrow. Then, with the thumb and index finger of one hand, squeeze the base of the nose near the corner of the eyes. First press down, then squeeze and press upward, doing first one wayWith your four fingers press the upper eye rim and then the lower rim.With the middle finger press the Yintang point, directly in the center of the two eyebrows. Hold for several seconds. With the thumbs press the temples (Taiyang points.)Finally, apply pressure to the eyelids with the thumbs for about 10 seconds.ShiatsuThe points and areas of treatment are much the same for partner shiatsu as for self shiatsu. When working on someone else, press the shoulders and back of the neck. This will increase circu¬lation to the head and eye area.watery eyesThis condition is caused | | By: Acupressure | | |
| | Acupressure for M.E / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia | | 2007-11-08 06:41:00 | | Acupressure for M.E / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and FibromyalgiaTraditional Chinese medicine (TCM) including Acupressure, Chinese Herbal medicine, Moxa and cupping techniques, have been in use for up to 5000 years. For some of that time it was tradition only to pay your doctor while you were healthy - the cash stopped when you got sick - although economically impractical just think how quickly western medicine would have evolved if preventative medicine and results paid, not tradition, reputation or good marketing!The basic theory of T.C.M is that energy or Chi is generated by breathing, and passes around the body through twelve major channels, each related to an organ, starting with the Lung and finishing with the Liver. If the chi becomes stagnant or weak in any of these channels illness will develop and so the aim is to unclog and tonify these internal energies until a balance is restored and consequently health should improve. To a practicioner of TCM, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, M.E and Fibromyalgia are just an extreme example of the bodies' energy getting out of a normal healthy state.T.C.M - Ancient medicine for a modern plague Diagnosis is by examining the pulses - by putting three fingers side by side along the patient's wrist the acupressurist can feel the strength or otherwise of three of the channels. Pressing a little harder gives three more and with the same on each wrist the state of all twelve channels may be checked.An acupressurist will usually want to see your tongue - as an internal organ visible to the outside it can report on your state of health. For example, a puffy white coated tongue with indentations around the side indicates excessive damp in the system, a problem with Stomach and Spleen energy in particular, leading to poor digestion, weak muscles and a tendency to feel the cold - something common in people with M.E / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.Pins and needlesMany westerners are nervous of having needles stuck into them in the name of ther | | By: Acupressure | | |

| | Natsubate..Summer Fatigue | | 2007-07-30 16:15:00 | | Japan's summer months with its unrelenting heat,high temperatures and humidity coupled with fierce air-conditioning lead to a condition known as natsubate or "summer fatigue".The symptoms include a feeling of lethargy,sleeplessness or insomnia,loss of appetite and energy as well as the odd digestive problem.These symptoms are exacerbated by sudden changes in weather and temperature changes caused by air conditioning in trains,buses and buildings.Due to the Arctic atmosphere of their workplaces,some of the students at school bring a yutampo or hot water bottle to work to combat the frigid conditions.Some students suggested eating certain foods such as eel and fruit such as watermelon and pears to help fight against summer ills by providing minerals and antioxidants to replace those lost in sweat and protect against ultraviolet light. | | By: porcelain-monkey | | |
| | Home remedies for fatigue | | 2007-06-20 09:27:00 | | It’s quite natural for us to suffer from tiredness and fatigue after a hard day’s work.

| | Ginseng Helps Cancer Patients with Fatigue | | 2007-06-05 12:07:00 | | Nelle Moriarty says she's grateful for new breast cancer drugs like Herceptin.But like most patients in cancer therapy, Moriarty, 55, says the medication often leaves her exhausted and struggling to concentrate. That's why Moriarty, a marriage-and-family therapist from Rochester, Minn., says she volunteered for a clinical trial about treating cancer-related fatigue in a new way: ginseng capsules.Ginseng has been used in Chinese medicine to promote health for 2,000 years. A National Cancer Institute survey in 2004 found that 36% of adults use ginseng or some other form of complementary or alternative medicine. But scientists have never before studied ginseng's potential to ease cancer fatigue in such a carefully controlled way, says lead author Debra Barton of the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota.Barton's research is one of a trio of studies, all financed by the cancer institute, on complementary and alternative cancer medicines presented Sunday at the American Society of Clinical Oncology | | By: Full Time Income From Home | | |

| | | Will Over-fatigue Deprive a Person Sleep? | | 2007-05-22 22:38:22 | |
Jumpy and with a lot of things in mind can be stressful. Some go to the extent of being over-fatigued but yet would not know what to do. Many find it hard to sleep if they are in this stage. This may sound weird but the truth behind it is that people who are used to being hyperactive would tend to look for the various activities that would make them click.
Hence, once a person is free from doing anything and has his bed as the only object he sees, chances are he will not immediately go to sleep. A mixture of excitement and high adrenaline rush is still existent and chances are the person would still be looking for means to be doing something rather than lying back and resting his laurels.
In a way, sleep deprivation stems from over-fatigue. People just can’t believe that they have done so much. This development contributes to sleep deprivation because of its mental approach, something that people in the hyperactive life know all too well.
