THERAPEUTIC FASTING FOR FATIGUE SYNDROMES
THE PATH OUT OF EXHAUSTION
Psychovegetative fatigue syndromes are not one specific illness, but there are various types that differ in their causes, symptoms and treatment options. Some of the best-known fatigue syndromes are:
- Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS): Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS): Chronic fatigue syndrome is characterised by persistent tiredness and exhaustion that lasts longer than six months. Those affected do not feel refreshed even after sufficient sleep and suffer from other physical and emotional symptoms.
- Fibromyalgia: Although this is a complex rheumatic disease in which chronic pain plays a major role, fatigue is a common accompanying symptom of fibromyalgia.
- Adrenal Fatigue: This syndrome is often associated with a chronic fatigue state caused by a weakening of the adrenal glands, which are responsible for the production of stress hormones such as cortisol.
- Post-Viral Fatigue Syndrome (PVFS): After a severe viral infection, persistent fatigue and weakness can occur, which is known as post-viral fatigue syndrome.
- Post-Viral Fatigue Syndrome (PVFS): After a severe viral infection, persistent fatigue and weakness can occur, which is known as post-viral fatigue syndrome.
HOLISTIC THERAPEUTIC FASTING
THE ENERGY BOOST FOR EXHAUSTED SOULS
Therapeutic fasting offers a number of benefits in overcoming exhaustion syndromes. By abstaining from solid food for a limited period of time and instead consuming sufficient fluids, the body can be relieved and regenerated. The benefits of therapeutic fasting for fatigue syndromes include:
Detoxification and cleansing:
Fasting can help to eliminate harmful substances and toxins in the body that may contribute to fatigue.
Stress reduction:
Fasting can put the body into a state of rest and relaxation, which reduces stress and helps to alleviate fatigue.
Relief of the digestive system:
By abstaining from solid food, the digestive tract is given a rest, which helps the body to release energy for healing and repair processes.
Improved hormone regulation:
Fasting can help to improve the balance of stress hormones in the body, which has a positive effect on physical and emotional health.
Promoting mindfulness and self-reflection:
During fasting, many people become more aware of their own needs and can make healthy behavioural changes that can help prevent fatigue syndromes in the long term.
Exhaustion syndromes can have a significant impact on life, but fasting can be a supportive measure to manage these stresses and improve health. However, it is important to seek advice from a qualified health professional before embarking on a fasting programme to ensure that individual needs and health conditions are properly considered.
This is because a severely reduced general condition, especially with a low body weight, is not suitable for a therapeutic fasting programme. In this case, our Alkaline Organic Vitality Cuisine in combination with energy-boosting treatments is more suitable.
