Do certain Food Items make you feel good at once and crash you later? Do you always have a feeling of fatigue and do not feel fresh even after having a good sleep?

Then, you should keep your eyes on what you eat to reduce the symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

Having the right diet with proper nutrition helps in building up the energy levels but if you are suffering from Chronic Fatigue then you should keep a close check on what food items you should not eat too!  As various food items spike energy for a short span and leave you more tired later on.

So, before some foods rob you of energy, here is the list of 5 Foods that you should avoid if you are suffering from Chronic Fatigue. 

Caffeine

Caffeine might be your favorite when it comes to feeling energetic or staying awake but it crashes you down once its effect wears off! Hence, it makes the chronic fatigue symptoms worse by drastically draining your energy after the short spike.

It also disturbs your sleep and makes it hard to relax your body eventually increasing tiredness. So, next time you are thinking about caffeine intake, try to limit it for controlling your Chronic Fatigue Symptoms. 

Sugar

Sugar is always a Big No when it comes to a healthy diet. It has an inflammation property and uses a lot of nutrients to process it. So, try avoiding sugary products that spike your energy for a short span and drain you while making your chronic fatigue symptoms get worse.

Mostly, Chronic Fatigue Patients do crave sugary foods when they feel tired, but opting for food with added sugar is not a solution. Instead, switch to fruits that have natural sugar along with multiple proteins, vitamins, and fiber that improve your overall health and give you proper nutrition.

Fried Foods

Keep a distance from Fried and Processed Foods if you want to improve your symptoms of Chronic Fatigue. Fried Foods lead to inflammation which in turn triggers Fatigue Symptoms.

So, whenever you feel like having Fried And Processed Foods, try replacing them with baked, boiled, or roasted food to safeguard yourself from the free radicals that are produced while frying them in oil at high temperatures. 

Refined Foods

Say ‘No’ to refined foods as they spike your blood sugar levels and then drain your energy after a short period just like added sugar.

So, instead of having high blood sugar levels with white rice or pasta, focus on stabilizing them by having foods rich in fiber like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Brown rice, whole-wheat pasta, quinoa, and farro are the good options that you can look for.
