Chronic fatigue - a warning signal from the brain

In people with chronic fatigue, the brain parts shrink. This long-term fatigue is a manifestation of changes in the immune system and abnormalities in the brain. This is a dangerous signal.

Too busy, then many people feel tired, leading to low performance, errors also increase, making it feel very miserable. Currently, the number of people suffering from chronic fatigue is constantly increasing, not only in adults but also in children and children. In everyday life, when feeling tired but unable to rest, the elimination of fatigue is very difficult.

There are some types of fatigue that can be cured by resting (healthy tiredness), even though resting is not treatable (unhealthy fatigue).

Studies show that the substance that makes self-fatigue is the immune support factor called TGF-b (growth metabolite gene). In normal people, when working, TGF-b increases and when labor stops, the production of TGF-b decreases, fatigue is also eliminated. But in people with chronic fatigue, even when calm, the amount of TGF-b does not decrease.

TGF-b is a "foreign object that invades" immune cells. When we have psychological stress or affliction, the effect of immune cells is reduced, TGF-b continually shifts out too much, making GABA - the communication agent between the cells neurons - become difficult. The brain cannot transmit good news, reducing attention and fatigue. In people with chronic fatigue, the brain parts shrink. In short, chronic fatigue is a change in the immune system, anomalies in the brain, a danger signal.

Recently, to treat chronic fatigue, doctors use SSRI drugs (which have an effect on increasing the amount of sera). SSRI is effective for 40% of patients with chronic chronic fatigue. Another method is to use Eastern medicine to enhance immunity.

Elimination of fatigue is also under investigation. The types of 'nutritional drinks' advertised as a cure for fatigue in the market are unreliable because the fatigue mechanism is still in the research phase. However, according to studies in Japan, antioxidants such as vitamin C or limonic acid, some amino acids are also effective in eliminating fatigue. A nice walk for relaxation is also a simple but very good way to eliminate fatigue.
