Fatigue is very common at any any age . Maximum is seen in women after 30 .
It is caused by simple lifestyle factors .
I will list some potential reasons behind this :-
1 . Not Getting Enough Sleep
Not getting enough sleep is one of the more obvious causes of fatigue.
Your body does many things while you sleep, including store memory and release hormones that regulate your metabolism and energy levels .
After a night of high-quality sleep, you typically wake up feeling refreshed, alert and an adult need average of seven hours of sleep per night for optimal napping may help boost energy levels. Taking naps has been shown to decrease tiredness in pilots, who often experience fatigue due to long working hours and jet lag.
Speak to your doctor if you find difficulty in sleeping
2. Not Getting Enough Protein
Consuming protein has been shown to boost your metabolic rate more than carbs or fat do
In addition to aiding weight loss, this may also help prevent tiredness. High-protein diets tend to produce less fatigue among weight lifters and people who perform workouts
To keep your metabolism strong and prevent fatigue, aim to consume a high-quality protein source at every meal.
3. Inadequate Hydration
Staying well hydrated is important for maintaining good energy levels.
The many biochemical reactions that take place in your body every day result in a loss of water that needs to be replaced.
Dehydration occurs when you don’t drink enough liquid to replace the water lost in your urine, stools, sweat and breath. Being even mildly dehydrated can lead to lower energy levels and a decreased ability to concentrate
Although you may have heard that you should drink eight, 8-ounce (237-ml) glasses of water daily, you may require more or less than this depending on your weight, age, gender and level of activity.
Common symptoms of dehydration include thirst, fatigue, dizziness, and headaches.
4. Consuming Too Many Refined Carbs
Carbs can be a quick source of energy. When you eat them, your body breaks them down into sugar, which can be used for fuel. However, eating too many refined carbs can actually cause you to feel tired throughout the day.
When sugar and processed carbs are consumed, they cause a rapid rise in your blood sugar.
To keep your energy levels stable, replace sugar and refined carbs with whole foods that are rich in fiber, such as vegetables and legumes.
Bottom line is to Boost your energy levels, replace sedentary behaviors with active ones.
For instance, stand rather than sit down whenever possible, take the stairs instead of the elevator and walk instead of driving short distances.
