Are You Tired All of the Time?
Chronic fatigue often accompanies fibromyalgia symptoms. This fatigue can keep you from being able to experience normal daily activities with your family and friends, and is often the cause of going on medical leave from an occupation.
My book “Natural Choices for Fibromyalgia” talks about chronic fatigue symptoms and how the mitochondria in our cells are affected by a metabolic imbalance. The mitochondria help produce energy in our cells, and when they do not receive the nutrition that they need they will not function effectively.
A new study from Temple University looked at the affect of taking creatine to create more metabolic energy, especially for chronic fatigue sufferers. To improve performance and build muscle athletes often use creatine. Creatine monohydrate helps rebuild muscles by working as a reserve energy supply in the cells to help maintain ATP energy levels. Creatine also is needed by the brain, and can help get more oxygen to the brain cells improving memory.
Now researchers are finding that creatine affects the nervous system as well as the muscles. In fibromyalgia, long-term stress on the nervous system can make the muscles more sensitive to pain. So by taking stress off the nervous system using a supplement with creatine other nutritional co-factors the pain of fibromyalgia along with chronic fatigue may be reduced.
Will any creatine supplement be effective?
No, use a product combination that been researched to be successful. Pro Health’s Mitochondria Ignite with NT Factor has been tested to improve cellular functioning 33%. This formula contains 50 mg of creatine per tablet, along with minerals to help the creatine be absorbed better. Also the formula has NT Factor that helps further improve the functioning of the mitochondria and cell membranes. You can order and learn more about this product at Mitochrondria Ignite
Keep your Immune System Healthy
Fall is coming, and along with it cold and flu season for too many people. I recommend the use of whole food nutrition, specifically Juice Plus fruits and vegetables as a basis for daily nourishment. Keeping the immune system strong will prevent auto-immune reactions. Auto-immune reactions come when the body is not receiving the nutrition it needs to support the stress that it is under. Suppressing the immune system is not the answer, even in auto-immune reactions. Begin supplementing with bioavailable nutrition in a formula designed to work together to get the best results.
