Many times we look for reasons for unexplained fatigue and sleepiness during the day.
And we are certainly not alone, affirm statistical studies that identify the phenomenon in one third of healthy teenagers, adults and seniors.
Although fatigue can be a symptom of various diseases such as thyroid disorders, iron deficiency is more often the culprit hidden in some bad lifestyle habits that we follow, namely:
Excessive consumption of refined carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are the body's main fuel. However, overconsumption of refined carbohydrates can lead to a feeling of fatigue, due to a sharp rise in blood sugar levels followed by an equally rapid drop. The need for more energy through extra amounts of such carbohydrates leads to a vicious cycle of blood sugar fluctuations that tire the body.
Therefore, try to replace them with fruits and vegetables that are rich in plant fiber.
Sedentary life
Reduced physical activity is often hidden behind a lack of energy and fatigue.
However, this specific problem can only be solved in one way: through exercise and increased physical activity in our lives.
Protein deficiency
Proteins have been proven to speed up metabolism and, in addition to being allies in weight loss, can also help reduce fatigue. According to some studies, branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) that activate protein production can reduce fatigue.
Insufficient hydration
Adequate hydration is the primary movement that provides energy for the body that loses water through a series of biochemical processes such as urination and sweating.
Its importance has been highlighted by studies which have concluded that moderate dehydration can reduce energy levels and the ability to concentrate.
Increased stress
Intense stress and the inability to manage it have been associated with feelings of fatigue and low energy.
It may seem difficult in the fast pace of everyday life, however stress relief can be achieved through techniques such as yoga and meditation or by adopting specific dietary patterns.
