Feeling Fatigue or Tired?

I often find myself feeling tired or overwhelmed at the end of the day and have to push myself to get the gym. After a good workout I feel revived and more alert because I got the blood pumping. The following are a few tips to shake off the fatigue or tiredness:

Fatigue symptoms - 

• You do not feel fresh after waking up in the morning, though you had a good night sleep.
• You feel your stomach heavy all the time.
• Either you eat more or eat less; there is no balance in hunger.

In such cases, correcting the digestive system is the right approach to cure fatigue.

Lack of physical fitness-

·         Fitness is very important nowadays. By fitness I do not mean being slim or lean, without fat deposits.  Fitness is the ability of the body to sustain hard work.

This is not what your doctor recommends when he suggests taking your dog for daily walks to increases exercise...

Mental fatigue-

·         Lethargy, taking it easy, no mood for hard work, will train the mind and the body to feel tiredness, though you actually are not tired. Put a smile on your face until you really feel it!

·         Having a disciplined lifestyle, with good work / rest balance is crucial to be competitive in this world, and to have a robust health.

Stress-

·         It is related with mental and physical fatigue. Physical stress due to accumulation of free radicals affecting the organs. Mental stress can be handled with stress relief techniques.

Excess alcohol & smoking –

·         One of the obvious reasons for feeling tired and burnt out all the time and you already know the solution. Drink less and quite smoking.  (to stop smoking call the quit line a 1-800-QUIT-NOW)    

Remember, keep things in moderation and you will start seeing results.  For more healthy tips, visit: http://dcwellnesswednesday.blogspot.com/
