Epstein Barr is a virus that in turn causes infectious mononucleosis (mono - the kissing disease). People who have Epstein Barr Virus are carriers of the virus which can lead to lymphoma and carcinoma cancers.
Epstein Barr Virus is also linked to being a lead cause of Multiple Sclerosis. In a study of 100 people with Multiple Sclerosis, one hundred percent of them had the Epstein Barr Virus.
One of the major symptoms of Epstein Barr is chronic fatigue (CFS). You are exhausted after just a bit of working and for no reason at all you cannot seem to get your energy back. People with Epstein Barr have poor absorbtion of vitamins and must get plenty of sleep. Even if you don't have Epstein Barr you may have energy problems.
An energy problem may be caused from lack of protein, such as a vegetarian or vegan or is not getting enough protein in their diet by eliminating meat or it may be just a general or short term problem due to any number of reasons. Reasons for fatigue or lack of energy may include:

According to WebMD, "Chronic fatigue syndrome is an uncommon cause of severe, persistent fatigue. If fatigue occurs without an obvious cause, it is important to evaluate your mental health. Fatigue is a common symptom of mental health problems, such as anxiety or depression. Fatigue and depression may become so severe that you may consider suicide as a way to end your pain. If you think your fatigue may be caused by a mental health problem, see your doctor.

5. Meditation, Exercise and Breathing Correctly. Nothing removes stress more than meditation, exercise and breathing correctly, such as taking deep breaths and letting the air out slowly. The best exercise for stress is walking and/or rebounding on a rebounder or mini-trampoline.
Meditation has been shown to be highly beneficial with as little as 20 minutes a day. Reflecting of your surroundings, on the creations from God and your Creator will cause you to appreciate life, understand your purpose and realize that there is much to be thankful for.
Dr. Oz is a big believer in meditation, as I am. When anger comes, it is could to take a nice hot shower and relax. I find it is better to block, delete and walk away rather than to react.
