Green vegetables contain high quantities of vitamins (A, B, C, E and K) and minerals (potassium, iron, magnesium, etc.) which mean they can effectively fight against fatigue. The most effective green vegetables are spinach, celery, cauliflower, lettuce and chard.

This fairly special algae is often considered the richest foodstuff in the world, containing high quantities of iron, vitamins (A, B1, B2, B3, B6, B7, B8, D, E, K), minerals and trace minerals (calcium, phosphorous, magnesium, iron, zinc, sodium, manganese, chromium, copper, potassium and selenium). Spirulina, due to its rich composition, can effectively fight fatigue, particularly in winter.

These foods are by no means medications. It is recommended that you consume them regularly to reduce the symptoms of fatigue and headaches.
