You should also be aware of anemia. Being low in iron can cause mood trouble, depression, brain fog, irritability, anger, intolerance of small annoyances. A simple blood test can rule anemia in or out. Avoid or eliminate caffeine consumption as it can deplete the body of iron. Potassium, magnesium, zinc, and vitamin C play a role in metabolizing iron. A number of years ago, I realized I was slowly becoming more and more fatigued. A simple blood test revealed I was anemic, just below the low level of normal. My potassium was at the lowest level of normal. I added meat and green, leafy vegetables to my diet for more iron, and dried apricots and sweet potatoes for potassium. Over a month’s time, I was feeling better, not running out of energy by lunchtime and no longer downing coffee or other caffeine to keep going until 3:30. Having a tendency to scrupulosity, I was blaming the problem on spiritual sloth. I decided to pray another Rosary every afternoon. I usually fell asleep in the middle of it. There’s nothing wrong with extra prayers, but falling asleep in the middle of them isn’t of much use. My problem was not sloth, rather, I’d been eating poorly because I was living in a rented room without access to a kitchen. My solution was to purchase a very small microwave and an electric kettle so I could heat and boil foods instead of getting take-out.
I am very grateful for both of your messages and for taking the time to write these, it is very charitable of you! I also appreciate your prayers, please be assured of mine for you and your family in return for this kindness.We were able to find a local bakery that does freshly milled 100% whole grain sourdough. There is no white flour in it, it was 24 hour fermented, and an organic ancient grain. We both enjoyed. However, it left my husband in agony, and I cannot tolerate fibre whatsoever. However, I am happy to hear it works for your family, I have heard it works for a lot of people.Raw egg yolks is where we get our B vitamins, it is the only thing that will absorb for us. My husband is willing and has taken vitamins, they do not touch him unless whole food based.
