More and more people have chronic fatigue or even chronic fatigue syndrome or myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME). Western medicine has yet to find the cause and cure. Traditional Chinese doctors may help you a little but most likely do not produce satisfactory results because your body lacks the energy to bootstrap recovery.
More and more people rely on caffeine. About 85% of Americans lack energy and have caffeinated beverages every day to make it through the day.[i]
Caffeine and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS/ME)
Caffeine is a chemical found in coffee,
tea, cola, guarana, mate, and many products. Caffeine
acts as a central nervous system stimulant. When it reaches your brain, the
most noticeable effect is alertness. You feel more awake and less tired, so it is most commonly used as a stimulant to increase
alertness or manage drowsiness. Caffeine is also used for temporarily
releasing migraine and other headaches. It is a
common ingredient in medications to treat headaches and migraines. Caffeine is a diuretic, or a “water pill”, which increases urine flow. But
it may no longer have this effect on
people who use caffeine regularly.
The Damaging
Effect of Caffeine on the Body
Not only does caffeine ease fatigue, drowsiness, and
headache symptoms for the short term, but it may cause long term health problems.
Weight management is more important than ever. Three-quarters of all Americans have weight problems. Much of this epidemic is due to popular diets in the US that guarantee weight loss and permanent solutions. These diets simply do not work but make the problem worse.
You have overeaten, overworked, stressed out, oversexed, or plugged the body with stimulants: caffeine, alcohol, tobacco, drugs…
You know them. Strong men, vigorous men, robust men – men who never had a sick day in their lives. They drive. They drive themselves to the limit. They lash themselves over the limit with food, work, sex, and stimulants. They crack. Often, they crash. And they know that they are more likely to leave the world much earlier than their peers.
Many people sit for hours every day and have spine and many other associated problems. They realized that sitting for too long is no good. So, some of them tried to stand as much as they could to replace the sitting position.
But do you know that standing can cause or heal many health problems as well as sitting?!
“If doctors cannot even cure the disease, I cannot do anything about it.” “If I could do it myself, what are the doctors for?!” “The World Health Organization believes the disease is incurable. We can do nothing but seeking emotional support to live with the disease.”
