Chronic fatigue is when you constantly feel tired for seemingly no obvious reason. One of the things that can contribute to chronic fatigue is eating habits. Do you know that feeling when you have just finished eating a large meal? You feel really tired, and all you want to do is lay down. This is because eating large meals directs blood away from your limbs and brain and toward your stomach and intestine. This is a natural phenomenon because it helps you digest food better, but it will also make you feel tired. Another reason may be the sudden increase in blood sugar levels that follow certain meals.
Recent studies would also suggest that the gut microbiome is not producing enough desired nutrients necessary for specific bodily functions. But, changing your eating habits is something that should be looked into and even incorporating some natural supplementation. Also, going back to the basics would be a good way of starting your healing.
