March 23, 2007, Newsletter Issue #56: Memory Foam for Fatigue

Tip of the Week

Fatigue in the clinical sense refers to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and is not classified as a disease, but rather attempts to describe the condition that results from any combination of factors including aching muscles and joints, anxiety, depression, difficulty concentrating, poor memory, fever, headaches, low blood pressure, intestinal problems and pain, irritability, environmental sensitivities, jaundice, loss of appetite, mood swings, muscle spasms, night sweats and more. Any or all of these symptoms can drastically weaken the immune system, and while it is not necessarily life-threatening, it cannot be cured. This is because each symptom must be addressed individually, and this is where new technology foam products can help, particularly in reference to memory foam (although latex foam and polyurethane foam can also certainly help). Memory foam is a material developed by NASA to help astronauts be more comfortable during a space launch. What they stumbled upon was a bedding technology that creates the feeling of weightlessness during sleep – meaning that pressure points on the body are dramatically reduced. This material can be particularly helpful for individuals interested in reducing sub-symptoms of CFS such as aching muscles and joints. For people suffering from physical discomfort in the bedroom, products such as memory foam toppers, pillows and mattresses might be worth exploring.
