How can yuppie flu be prevented?

There is no virus called Yuppie Flu. It is a name given usually to a disorder called Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

This is the case with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. If you don't know what is causing it, you don't know what would prevent it. So, there is currently no prevention.
