Which item is listed as general ahar/vihar support for CFS?

• A. Rest
• B. Nightly fasting
• C. Intense cardio training
• D. Smoking cessation

Answer: (A)

Managing energy and preventing crashes is central in CFS care. Rest supports this by helping conserve energy and reduce symptom flares, especially since overexertion can trigger post‑exertional malaise. Among the options, rest is the most appropriate general diet/lifestyle support for CFS because it directly aids in maintaining the energy envelope and stabilizing daily function.

Nightly fasting isn’t a specific aid for CFS and can disrupt sleep or energy balance. Intense cardio training is generally avoided or approached with caution in CFS due to the risk of exacerbating symptoms after exertion. Smoking cessation benefits overall health but doesn’t address the disease’s core energy-management needs.
