If you are often feeling snappy, tired and weary often chances are that
it’s more than just lack of sleep. These could be signs your body
resorts to indicate that all is not quite right with the body and it’s
time to sit up and take those changes into account.
There could be myriad of reasons behind
your constantly feeling lethargic and low on energy. Here are a couple
of reasons behind that and how to overcome them.
- Anemia
The
most rampant reasons for you’re constantly feeling tired could be due
to anemia which arises due to deficiency of iron in the body. It affects
lesser men as compared to women in their menstrual cycles or in their
menopause. This can be kept in check if a balanced diet including
beetroot, Vitamin C supplements, honey, and whole grain cereals is consumed.
Diabetes
could be another reason for your feeling worn out often. It results in
long- term condition caused by too much sugar in the blood. This can be
kept in checked if you take a balanced diet rich in green- leafy
vegetables, beans, oats, garlic, fish oil, blueberries, almonds, quinoa and olive oil amongst others.
- Stress & Anxiety
The
quality of life we all currently live has undergone a drastic change
where we are constantly under stress and struggling to live a healthier
life. The stress could be relieved by using essential oils like chamomile, lavender, ylang ylang
which are therapeutic. Herbs like cloves, thyme, green leafy
vegetables, dry fruits and citrus fruits like sweet lime and oranges can
be added to the diet.
- Depression
Depression
is another reason that can drain you of energy and make you feel worn
out. Lifestyle changes like exercising, yoga & meditation can bring
about a major positive change along with a diet rich in fruits,
vegetables, consumption of green tea, Vitamin D supplements, fish oil, Vitamin B & folate supplements, and cashews apart from a substantially rich diet.
- Underactive Thyroid
Malfunctioning
of thyroid gland can result in low levels of thyroxine in the body
which could be a reason for your constantly feeling tired throughout the
day and also low energy levels. Thyroid can be validated through a
blood test. For a fully functional thyroid gland regular exercises along
with diet management should form an integral part. Vitamins, proteins,
minerals should form the core of the diet including whole grains,
vegetables, coconut oil and drinking lots of fluids like water.
