When you’re living with chronic fatigue syndrome (myalgic encephalomyelitis), severe daytime fatigue is an everyday reality, even when you get plenty of sleep at night.
On its own, chronic fatigue syndrome can make it difficult to even get out of bed, but if you add any type of physical or mental activity, you can be left feeling completely wiped out.
Unfortunately, due to a lack of chronic fatigue syndrome awareness, not many people recognize that they have the condition, nor are there many treatments available to make the never-ending fatigue manageable.
However, our team at Atlas Health Institute in Las Vegas, Nevada, believes in the power of healthy lifestyle habits along with natural and innovative remedies, such as peptide therapy, to overcome chronic fatigue syndrome.
In this month’s blog, we discuss how peptide therapy works and how it can help you conquer chronic fatigue syndrome for good.
Peptides are natural substances found in your body, made of amino acid chains. Both proteins and peptides are chains of amino acids; however, peptides are much smaller and easier for your body to break down and absorb.
Your body uses peptides to regulate blood pressure, retain water, and heal wounds. While peptides are abundant already in your body, many foods you eat contain these amino acid powerhouses as well, including dairy products, grains, meat, and seafood.
Supplementing your intake of peptides is a great way to enhance overall wellness, which is precisely what peptide therapy aims to do. Peptide therapy provides additional peptides through injections, nasal sprays, or tablets.
When you increase the amount of peptides in your body, you can reap all sorts of health benefits, including boosted immune system function, reduced bodily inflammation, improved cognitive function, and decreased joint and muscle pain.
Though the exact cause of chronic fatigue syndrome is unknown, factors such as poor immune function and increased body-wide inflammation are thought to play a role.
By increasing the amount of peptides in your body, you give it the tools it needs to function optimally and save some energy for your day-to-day functioning.
In addition to peptide therapy, it’s important to practice healthy lifestyle habits. Even though peptides can give your body what it needs to function effectively, you can do even more by living a generally healthy lifestyle.
Some of these healthy habits include keeping a strict sleep schedule, drinking plenty of hydrating fluids, exercising regularly, and eating a nutrient-dense diet. If you believe that any of these areas are lacking, our team would be happy to sit down with you and create exercise and nutrition plans.
