Causes of Chronic Fatigue
What are the causes of chronic fatigue? Still some 20-30 years ago such concept in medicine did not exist. However, the modern rhythm of human life, the large amount of information it receives, and the intellectual overload lead to a significant activation of the brain, as a result of which it consumes significantly more oxygen than usual.
If we add to this the unfavorable ecological situation in the world and the gas content of large cities, then such a way of life will eventually lead to a lack of oxygen in the body - hypoxia. The situation is complicated by malnutrition, lack of regular sleep, hypodynamia, the negative impact of computers and other modern technology.
Hypoxia is the cause of metabolic disorders, which causes the accumulation of protein substances( hormones, amino acids) in the tissues and slagging of the body. Chronic fatigue is also characterized by weakening of the immune system, as a result of which the human body becomes very susceptible to various viruses, fungal microorganisms, parasites and bacteria - a person begins to often and for a long time to get sick.
Chronic fatigue syndrome strikes the central nervous system and the brain, which also can not withstand mental and physical overexertion. Various chronic diseases are aggravated. Thus, the entire human body suffers from chronic fatigue.
Treatment for chronic fatigue
Treatment of chronic fatigue should begin as early as possible, with the appearance of its first signs. The started disease is treated very long and is quite expensive. For the treatment of chronic fatigue, methods of purifying the body are used, drugs are introduced to resume normal brain and CNS functioning, restore the endocrine, immune system, and gastrointestinal tract. In eliminating the symptoms of chronic fatigue, the role of mental rehabilitation is indispensable.

How to deal with chronic fatigue? Of course, any disease is easier to prevent than cure - this also applies to chronic fatigue syndrome. Prevention of this disease should become the norm for a busy modern man.
To prevent the development of the syndrome of chronic fatigue, it is recommended:
- every hour to take a break in work, at least for 5 minutes;
- alternating mental and physical work;
- to free yourself from the part of the work that you least want to do - "share" it with less busy colleagues and remember that there are no irreplaceable people;
- learn how to properly allocate your time;
- at least once a week to arrange a day off;
- periodically actively rest, preferably in the open air: get out on the nature, engage in cycling, do not neglect the morning jogging;
- to learn to relax, master the methods of relaxation;
- enough time to sleep and eat right.
The psychological side of the issue is also important. Many doctors argue that the main cause of chronic fatigue is work that does not bring satisfaction, neither moral nor material. After all, when you are busy with your favorite business, everything turns out to be easy and even after a busy day you feel full satisfaction with yourself, not paying attention to fatigue.
Therefore it is extremely important to change the type of activity, find a job for the soul or some other way that can become a kind of vent. It can be a new hobby, playing sports, talking with family and friends, acquiring a four-legged friend. Thus, discontent with work can be compensated by other positive emotions. This will help to keep soul harmony and restore strength.
To overcome chronic fatigue is possible for each of us. Rationally distribute your work day, allow yourself to rest, try to lead a correct lifestyle, learn to see in everything a positive - and chronic fatigue syndrome will bypass you.
Modern man in the intense rhythm of life is hard to resist various stresses. An incorrect way of life and an unfavorable ecological situation further complicate its existence.
