Natural Fatigue Treatment

If you are struggling to get through the day without brain fog and physical exhaustion, you’re not alone. In today’s fast paced society many people suffer from fatigue and feel tired all the time.

When experienced over a long period, chronic fatigue can eventually become so debilitating normal functioning can become difficult. Short term fixes such as caffeine and other stimulants only offer a temporary solution and don’t do anything to address the underlying health drivers of chronic fatigue.

What Are The Causes of Fatigue?

Although it’s natural to experience higher and lower energy levels sometimes, often there are some underlying physical issues that could be causing your chronic fatigue, such as:

Hormonal Imbalances – The delicate balance of hormones naturally changes throughout our lifetimes but occasionally they can get thrown out of whack. An over or under active thyroid, poor diet, stress and inadequate sleep as well as many other factors can cause the delicate balance to be upset resulting in tiredness and chronic fatigue.
Liver Disease – Many people have various degrees of liver disease or inflammation which can be caused from alcohol consumption, a fatty diet or viruses. Once the liver is not functioning at optimum levels, fatigue can often develop.
Excessive Body Fat – Besides putting a lot of stress on the body’s finely tuned systems, carrying some extra weight can cause a whole lot of health complications, including fatigue and low energy levels.
Unstable Blood Sugar – Both high and low blood sugar levels are known to cause chronic fatigue. When your blood sugar is up, your blood gets “sludgy”, slowing circulation and making it difficult for cells to get enough oxygen and nutrients. Oppositely, when blood sugar is low, cells don’t receive enough glucose for energy production and you’ll feel tired too.
Stress – Many studies have identified that prolonged stress can result in chronic fatigue. Additionally, high stress levels can cause insomnia which exacerbates feelings of tiredness.
Toxicity – High levels of heavy metals and other impurities in the body disrupt the proper functioning of organ systems which can also lead to people experience chronic fatigue.
Mitochondrial Disfunction – Mitochondria are the energy producing powerhouses in our cells and any problems with their operation will translate into less energy being produced on a cellular level and you’ll naturally have less energy available to function.
Nutritional Deficiencies – Not eating a complete balanced diet is a major cause of chronic fatigue. By not eating healthy food, you won’t have enough suitable fuel and your body will basically be running in starvation mode. Your body will try to store all available energy for future use instead of burning fuel as you eat it. Also, by not eating a wholesome diet, you could be lacking in key nutrients, such as iron as well as other vitamins and minerals, which will leave you feeling tired and lethargic too.
