Lack of activity in your life.
Inactivity can be a primary cause of fatigue and reduced productivity. When you decide to get moving, many chemical processes occur in your body that contribute to improved well-being. For example, take the stairs instead of using the elevator and go for more walks around the city.
Lack of quality sleep.
Adults need an average of 7 hours of nighttime sleep for good health and proper functioning of the entire body. It’s important for sleep to be restful and uninterrupted, so you should sleep in complete darkness and silence. In one study, people who went to bed at the same time on both weekdays and weekends reported better overall well-being and fewer difficulties falling asleep compared to those who went to bed later and slept fewer hours on weekends.
Food Sensitivities.
Food sensitivities or intolerances typically cause symptoms such as rashes, digestive issues, runny nose, headaches and reduced productivity. Food allergies occur when the immune system reacts to specific food. This can affect the digestive organs and cause a systemic reaction throughout the body. Specific symptoms include rash, hives or itching of the skin, swelling of the skin and mucous membranes, shortness of breath and chest pain. In most cases, the main culprits that lead to digestive problems and fatigue are dairy products, eggs, soy and corn.
Nutrient deficiency.
To maintain energy levels, avoid drastically reducing calorie intake, even if you want to lose weight. The body needs a minimum number of calories to perform daily functions and few of them can lead to fatigue. Calories are units of energy found in food, used by the body to support processes like breathing and maintaining body temperature. When you consume few calories, your metabolism slows down to conserve energy. Most people need at least 1.300 calories per day. Also, metabolism decreases with deficiencies in vitamins and minerals. To prevent deficiencies in vitamins and minerals, it is recommended in autumn and spring to take some supplements (for example Gold-Vit C 1000 Forte, Chela-Ferr Forte) that can help maintain optimal levels of these nutrients in the body.
But if you constantly feel drained and are unable to carry out daily tasks, consult a doctor. If you are diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome, the specialist may appoint physical therapy (such as pneumomassage, pressotherapy and manual therapy), psychotherapy, and medication (for example, Arcalion).
One of the most interesting methods of physiotherapy is pressotherapy. It activates the flow of lymph through the vessels, aids in the removal of excess fluid and toxins from the body and helps restore vitality. With pressotherapy, results that would be impossible to achieve in an hour of manual lymphatic drainage massage can be achieved in just 30 minutes of a session.
