All this caused by work, family commitments or unforeseen events, school problems, illness and even seasonal change.

Not everyone needs a good night's sleep or a restful and relaxing weekend, perhaps in a wellness center that certainly improves the general conditions in the first place, but then undoubtedly, once returned to the daily stress, everything resumes and sometimes even intensifies.

Therefore, if this state of exhaustion lasts for weeks and then months, often with headaches (especially on weekends), nervousness, sometimes slight insomnia or non-restorative rest, sometimes with more awakenings at night or sometimes nightmares we can help the body to find the right balance in the first place with a diet rich in highly nutritious foods for all systems, especially the nervous and immune systems.
