Causes of Fatigue and What to do about it?

It's not just sleep deprivation that's draining your strength. Insignificant actions (or inactions) can drain your energy and make it difficult to get through the day. 

Read on to learn the frequent negative behaviour that saps your energy and the easy lifestyle modifications that restore your vigour.

The Failure to Hydrate:

Energy levels drop when dehydration is mild, even at just 2% of typical fluid loss.

Goodson explained that dehydration leads to a decrease in blood volume, which causes the blood to become thicker. The heart's efficiency decreases when blood thickens. As a result, oxygen and nutrients take longer to reach your muscles and organs.

Goodson suggests dividing your body weight in half to determine how many fluid ounces you must consume daily.

The following are some things you can do to meet your needs:

• Bringing a water bottle with you
• Choose water as a drink when dining out
• Serve water at home
• Add flavour to water with lemon, lime, or other herbs and spices

Avoiding Meals High in Iron:

Iron helps carry oxygen throughout the body, beginning in the lungs. So, tiredness and fatigue are caused by iron deficiency because less oxygen reaches the muscles and cells. The symptoms of an iron shortage include reasons for tiredness and fatigue, irritability, weakness, and inability to concentrate.

Anaemia, a disorder in which your body does not produce enough red blood cells, can develop if you do not get enough iron. Iron-rich meals, such as lean meat, lima beans, peanut butter, dried fruit, nuts, whole grains and dark green leafy vegetables, can help minimize the likelihood of developing anaemia.

Combining both iron and vitamin C has been shown to increase iron absorption. The above foods should be eaten alongside vitamin C-rich foods.

Remember: There may be a medical cause for the iron shortage. Therefore, if you have these symptoms, you must see a doctor.

Without Eating Breakfast:

You can't function without the nourishment provided by the food you eat. What you ate for dinner the night before is still used by your body while you sleep to keep your heart beating and blood circulating. As a result, you may feel sluggish upon waking up if you skip breakfast.

You may start the day well by eating a breakfast full of nutritious grains, lean protein, and healthy fats. 

Here are a few examples of nutrient-dense foods:

• Whole-grain toast spread with peanut butter and sliced bananas
• Plain fat-free or low-fat yoghurt with fruit and granola
• Eggs and veggies scrambled together

Putting in Time While on Vacation:

Burnout, a collection of emotions with tight ties to depressive symptoms, might occur if you check your e-mail when you should be relaxing by the pool. By turning off all electronic devices and relaxing, you may recharge your body and mind to return to work with renewed vigour.

If you want to disconnect completely from the office while on vacation, try leaving your phone in another room or, better yet, at the hotel. Try taking a trip to a location without Internet access if you want to force yourself to unplug.

Conclusion:

Only some people feel refreshed after a good night's sleep. Losing your pep in your step can result from poor dietary choices, overwork, neglecting exercise, or disrupting your sleep schedule on the weekends.
