You’re not alone.
Feeling fatigued is a common problem. When you lack energy, getting through the day and staying motivated can be a real struggle.
Tiredness affects how we function – physically, emotionally and mentally. It can prevent us from doing everyday tasks such as exercising and concentrating at work.
Learn what causes fatigue and how to boost your energy naturally through diet and lifestyle. Discover what foods and herbs help combat tiredness so you can stop feeling exhausted and start the day with a spring in your step.
What causes fatigue?
There are many causes of fatigue and levels of tiredness vary from person to person.
Quite often, fatigue is due to dietary and lifestyle factors; however, it can also be caused by an underlying illness or medical condition.
Some of main causes of tiredness include:
- Sleep deprivation. Not getting enough good quality sleep at night will affect your energy levels, making you feel tired and sluggish.
- Excess screen time is a major sleep disruptor and energy drain. The blue light emitted from devices overstimulates your brain, making it hard for you to get to sleep.
- Stress due to work, finances or family issues can cause worry and anxiety. Long-term stress results in your adrenal glands going into overdrive, and can leave you feeling burnt out and exhausted.
- Poor diet. Not eating the right foods can lead to vitamin and mineral deficiency. Eating too much sugar and refined carbohydrates (such as bread, cakes, pizza, pastries, cereals) triggers your blood sugar levels to spike rapidly. Even though this gives you a quick energy boost, your blood sugars soon come crashing down, leaving you feeling tired again. Other dietary habits that deplete energy include highly processed foods, fried food, junk foods and snacks with empty calories (cereal bars, biscuits, chocolate, crisps).
- Too much caffeine as it overstimulates your adrenal glands and puts your body into a stress response. Caffeine also causes insulin resistance which means your body cannot get sugar (fuel) into the cells, resulting in fatigue.
- Not drinking sufficient water. When your cells are dehydrated, they aren’t able to work efficiently. As 70% of the body is made up of water, fluids need to be constantly replaced throughout the day.
- Alcohol as it disrupts sleep and causes dehydration.
- Lack of exercise and being a couch potato. Moving your body regularly through exercise improves blood flow, enabling more oxygen and nutrients to get into your cells to produce energy.
- Low iron levels and poor thyroid function. Iron is essential for energy production in the body. The thyroid gland controls metabolism, helping to turn food into energy.
- Illness or infections as the body needs to work harder to fight off infections.
