What would you recommend for this patient.
Hi make her feel normal with her environmental change and provide a diet with good energy producers
Patient needs to be relaxed foods like fish,honey and almonds are recommended to increase weight
She need a effective stress management program consisting of yoga , meditation etc, resistance training along with high quality proteins will be helpful.Adding 5 HTP 50mg daily will be beneficial for improving the sleep and reducing the fatigue.
Increase sleep; stress reduction such as breathing meditation and yoga; but, what is her current complaint? What does she want to work on changing?
First and most important question: what about her daily food- and calorie intake?! Probably, its more than poor, Therefore she should take a diet with at least > 2000 calories per day, which she ist mostly accustomed to and is tolerated well by her guts - in combination with stress decreasing measures, i.d. meditation/yoga.
Hi.... more information is needed about the client to be able to give proper nutritional advice. for starters let her take a break from her work environment.......
When someone feels tired ...fatigue ...isn't that a signal of the body to tell us to slow down.... in order for the body to be able to cope with the acid load caused by workload and stress. Our body is too smart, will do anything to solve a problem, would recommend to eat at least 80% of her daily intake to be strong alkaline foods... and drink alkaline water (ionized) would be great.. even the mild rheumatoid arthritis is probably caused by prolonged acidosis. When acids can't be flushed out, our body will use bone decalcification as a way to neutralize acids.
When the body goes into metabolic acidosis hormones will no longer function !! That is from human physiologie course ...
yves
first of all , lets measure her energy expenditure!!!!and how about her 24 intake recordatory? We also shoud have measured her tsh, t4, cooper,chrome, fast glycemia(normal tests ????)I strongly agree with Ioanna on the omegra 3, Recently JAMA published an article that leads us on high protein supplemets in order to keep an increase of lean mass, and ill go for it.
We are all bussy with numbers and ideal weight , ideal sugar level, ideal LDL, ideal HDL etc... and so many more .... only we forget the most important one that will answer most of the other ones....!!
What is your body hydration level ....???? Nobody ever saw the graph where you see correlation between age ... hydration level and disease ...????
Maintaining a proper hydration level will solve most of the problems ....
She need to take high calorie, high protein diet to increase her weight because height of 165cm and weighing just 46kg indicate wasting and that could be why she is always weak and feeling sleeping.
