Reasons Why You Could Be Feeling Weary Often

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.


  1. 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.
  1. Diabetes
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.
  1. 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.
  1. 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.
  1. 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.
