Feeling tired all the time?
You’re not alone. In fact, fatigue is one of the most
common complaints that bring adults to doctors’ offices.
Numerous studies indicate that people who see their doctor
about fatigue have generally experienced it for a
considerable length of time — anywhere from six months to
several years!
Fatigue can be due to numerous causes, such as medical
conditions like congestive heart failure, hypothyroidism or
diabetes. It can also be a result of sleep disturbances
brought on by menopause, or by physical changes that
accompany aging. But while fatigue may be an inescapable
part of life, there’s no need to take it lying down. Your
body is geared toward generating energy as well as expending
it. And there are numerous strategies to help regain the
physical and mental energy needed to enjoy life to its
fullest.
Eat for energy
The tried-and-true advice
for healthful eating also applies to keeping your energy
level high:
• Eat a balanced
diet that includes a variety of carbohydrates,
proteins, and fats with an emphasis on vegetables, whole
grains, and healthy oils. Taking a daily multivitamin will
ensure that you get the vitamins and minerals you need, but
taking extra amounts of individual nutrients won’t give you
more energy.
• Eating certain
types of foods in particular amounts can help
prevent fatigue. Because different kinds of foods are
converted to energy at different rates, some — such as candy
and other simple sugars — can give you a quick lift, while
others — such as whole grains and healthy unsaturated fats —
supply the reserves you’ll need to draw on throughout the
day.
• Eat small,
frequent meals. Where energy is the issue, it’s
better to eat small meals and snacks every few hours than
three large meals a day. This approach can reduce your
perception of fatigue because your brain, which has very few
energy reserves of its own, needs a steady supply.
Reduce stress
The most common cause of
persistent fatigue is stress and the emotional response to
it. People who feel fatigued most of the time don’t
necessarily have more stress in their lives than other
people, but they may be more sensitive to its effects.
Stress-induced emotions consume huge amounts of energy.
Relaxation therapy can be an effective tool for reducing
stress and naturally boosting your energy, particularly when
used in combination with cognitive behavioral therapy.
Meditation, self-hypnosis, yoga, and tai chi are all
relaxation techniques. One of the easiest techniques to use
is progressive muscle relaxation, which involves
systematically tightening and releasing sets of muscles,
beginning with your toes and progressing up your legs,
torso, hands, and arms. You might also consider other
relaxation therapies, including aromatherapy and massage.
No
matter what age you are, there are things that you can do to
feel more energetic. Harvard Health Publications’
Boosting Your Energy report will help you take the
first steps toward discovering the causes of your fatigue.
This Special Health Report provides you with the latest
information about fatigue and offers strategies to help you
regain your physical and mental energy. The report discusses
medical conditions that may be the cause of your fatigue as
well as ways to naturally boost your energy.
