Seoul, Korea – If you don’t take a break regularly and your body remains tired for a long time, there is a high possibility of getting chronic fatigue syndrome. Every individual is different in how tired they feel, but when the syndrome gets severe, people become incapable of carrying on with their daily lives.

If you can’t focus, feel depressed, become forgetful, can’t digest well, or if your body feels tired or painful, you might be suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome.
Mental illness like depression and insomnia, bad side effects from medication, and obesity can cause chronic fatigue syndrome. Given the fact there are many reasons behind the syndrome, some people can recover from it faster than others. People are likely to recuperate faster if they are younger or healthier in general. Yet, reports show that the syndrome can recur.
Obesity is one of the causes of chronic fatigue syndrome and you must change your habits if you want to prevent the syndrome and obesity in your abdomen.
It is good to avoid alcohol, cigarettes and caffeine. They can negatively affect central nerves and it adds fatigue to patients.
It is important to avoid spicy and fast food and eat lots of vegetables. Along with the improvement of your eating habits, you also need do cardio exercises like walking, biking or swimming. It is ideal to work out for more than 30 minutes every day, but if you are suffering from the syndrome, it is better not to exhaust your body too much. It can cause more severe fatigue, thus it is important to balance out your exercising schedule.

Seoul, Korea – Hit songwriter E-TRIBE highly praised girl group
Girls’ Generation.
As a representative hit songwriter who gave birth to Lee Hyo-ri’s “U-Go-Girl” and Girls’ Generation “Gee,” E-TRIBE recently set out as a producer-maker through Dalshabet. The “idol” group that he picked as the best is Girls’ Generation.
Lately, E-TRIBE met with a reporter and revealed his thought: “I think there is still no solo singer in Korea who can surpass Rain and Lee Hyo-ri. In the case of ‘idol’ groups, I believe Girls’ Generation is the only group after Dong Bang Shin Ki who can perfectly assimilate diverse styles.”
He designates the one who can give the most vigor to music, using his or her combination of dance, singing, and performance, as the best artist. His explanation is that “there are plenty of good songs out there, but tremendous power is created when the song matches well with the singer’s unique concept.”
E-TRIBE explained, “After producing a megahit with ‘Gee’, the Girls’ Generation achieved another success with a hit of totally different style, ‘Genie.’ It’s the same with the recently released ‘Hoot,’ which was released after ‘Oh!’. Not only does the group show expansive growth, but it also gushes out infinite potential through its immeasurable development in style.”
He commented, “I believe Girls’ Generation is the only ‘idol’ group after Dong Bang Shin Ki who can assimilate diverse styles and maximize the song’s impression. ‘Many-faced’ is the word that best fits.”

Min Jung, who because of a facial injury couldn’t compete, said on her Twitter, “It’s unfair to me because my share of the cleaning increased.”
Netizens who saw the pictures of JQT said: “Seems like the members of JQT are close.” “There is no difference between before and after make-up. Both are pretty.” “I wonder who will be number one.”
JQT is active with “Peekaboo” and is steadily becoming popular.
