Why Do You Suffer From Fatigue?
Are you dragging yourself through
another day, frustrated with your lack of energy and
distracted by your need for rest? Do you wake up after
a nights sleep and still feel it's not enough to get
you through? Is fatigue affecting your work, your relationships
and your enjoyment in life?
Fatigue is a common problem and the
reason behind it can be simple to treat or require more
intense scrutiny. Review the following common causes
of fatigue which may shed light on why YOU are suffering.
LACK OF SLEEP
Most adults need eight full hours of
sleep every night in order for their bodies to get the
rest they need to repair and re-energize. If you are
not getting the full amount of sleep required your body
will start demanding it of you.
If you cannot waken without an alarm
or find yourself drifting into sleep during the day
you should take immediate steps to provide your body
with the sleep it requires.
Other problems such as snoring or sleep
apnea (brief episode of stopped breathing) can also
affect the quality of sleep. Any disturbance, including
feeding infants or other sleep disruptions, can cause
fatigue.
LACK OF PROPER NUTRIENTS
Fast foods and skipped meals will deplete
the body of needed nutrients. A lack of nutrients can
cause fatigue. Taking a multi-vitamin supplement can
ensure that you are getting the needed nutrients for
your body to function properly. A balanced diet will
further assist you in combating fatigue.
HORMONES
If continued fatigue is not corrected
with enough sleep or taking proper nutrients it may
be connected to a hormone imbalance.
Detecting a hormonal imbalance will
be more difficult to diagnose than a lack of sleep or
proper nutrients. The assistance of a knowledgeable
health care professional familiar with the symptoms
of hormone imbalance may be necessary in tracking down
the hormone responsible.
LOWERED IMMUNITY
Fighting illness takes energy. If a
person has a lowered immunity the constant battle against
infection can easily lead to an increased level of fatigue.
LOW IRON/ HIGH IRON
Iron deficiency can lead to anemia which
causes fatigue. Even a mild iron deficiency, which can
be missed in typical bloodwork results, can still cause
a person to experience fatigue.
Iron overload is a condition that is
caused when a persons organs absorb and accumulate iron
which can reach toxic levels - a symptom of which can
be fatigue. Special tests can be made to diagnose low
or high iron levels which must be followed up with proper
treatment.
OVERWORK and UNDER-PLAY
Working too much or other emotionally
draining activities can result in physical fatigue.
Taking the time to participate in activities which stimulate
and strengthen the body and mind are an essential step
to conquering fatigue.
