At age 15, I developed chronic fatigue syndrome, a condition that causes extreme exhaustion, pain, cognitive issues, and more. Living with limited energy for so long has taught me a thing or two about managing fatigue. Choose rest activities that allow you to recoup some of the energy you've used. In each meal the largest food group should be vegetables, and leafy greens like kale or spinach are best for supporting your cognitive energy. I've lived nearly half my life with chronic fatigue syndrome, and I've realized that while it's important to protect your energy, don't hoard it.
