Do you struggle to get out of bed, feel constantly drained and end up asking yourself “why am I so tired?”. But at the same time blame the too-busy lifestyle? You might be right at times but if this continues to haunt you for weeks then don’t just blow it off because there may be a number of reasons behind it.
Lack of Exercise: It might be the last thing you feel like but avoiding exercise makes it worse. This is because regular exercise makes your heart and lungs work more efficiently, delivering oxygen and vital nutrients around the body which in turn reboots energy and waves away fatigue.
Anemia: When your body is low on red blood cells, the amount of oxygen required automatically lowers down. Moreover, anemia may also result in lowering down the levels of iron and vitamins. Thus, we fall short of energy and fatigue plays its role.
Diabetes: More than a million people are diagnosed with type 2 diabetes every year, but many more may not even know they have it. Sugar, also called glucose, is the fuel that keeps your body going. And that means trouble for people with type 2 diabetes who can’t use glucose properly, causing it to build up in the blood. Without enough energy to keep the body running smoothly, people with diabetes often notice fatigue as one of the first warning signs, says John Hopkins researchers.
Sleep-not up to the mark: Sleep deprivation studies repeatedly show a negative impact on mood, cognitive performance and motor function. It also leads to adrenal fatigue, chronic pain, weakness and depression.
Dehydration: Are you sure you drink enough water? The most common cause of dehydration is simply not drinking enough water or substituting water intake with only soda or juice. This leads to cells not functioning properly and we start feeling lethargic and tired.
Check onto the above mentioned reasons and free yourself from fatigue.
