What are the reasons for feeling tired all the time? Here are 6 solutions that may help you

You hear from many people that they feel tired all the time, as many talk about symptoms ranging from feeling constantly tired, wanting to sleep all the time, feeling frustrated, and having a low mood.

If you're one of those people who feels constantly exhausted, you may be one of the many people who suffer from chronic fatigue syndrome. Even though these people are getting everything done, checking the news and preparing for the next workday, they are operating like a phone in "low power mode", which could stop working at any moment, as Hattie Garlick describes them in her article published in the British newspaper The Telegraph.

What causes chronic fatigue?

Constant exposure to the news leaves you with the nagging suspicion that something bad is going to happen to you, while the images on social media make you feel like you have to do something important for your health or appearance, which pushes you into a hyper-productivity portal where you have to get everything done.

The scene is complete when you realize that reaching you today - by your manager, colleague or neighbor - is easier than ever before, and that you do not have the luxury of closing the door and sitting in your home in peace, as the presence or absence of the door will not prevent them from reaching you. Unfortunately, this fatigue - imposed on you by the lives of accomplished people - does not end if you sleep or finish a big project, so what should be done about this life full of fatigue?

How to recover from chronic fatigue?

• Stop mindlessly browsing social media.

You can find satisfaction and positive feelings by remembering something good that happened to you recently, instead of spending time searching for it in people's photos and posts on social media. One moment of reality that is always available to you and in which you can connect with real people saves you hours of browsing to reach these feelings, and saves you the time and energy to accomplish what you need to accomplish the rest of the day.

• Take care of your gut health

You may need to review your diet to make sure you're getting enough water and other nutrients, and that the good bacteria that contribute to gut health are living well in your gut to do their job. You can stimulate good gut bacteria by eating foods rich in fiber, such as vegetables, fruits, whole grain products, nuts, and legumes.

• Consult your doctor about your need for vitamin D and other vitamins.

Vitamin D has many functions in the body, and it also plays an important role in muscle function, so its deficiency can make us feel tired. B vitamins are also essential for energy production and improving mood, while magnesium deficiency can lead to fatigue, lack of concentration, insomnia, and anxiety. Make sure you eat enough foods containing these minerals and vitamins or consult your doctor for nutritional supplements that contain them.

• Check your iron and vitamin B12 levels.

Fatigue is a common symptom of many health conditions, including iron or vitamin B12 deficiency, which can lead to anemia. Fatigue can also indicate digestive disorders, which impair the absorption of nutrients, thus affecting energy levels. It is useful to have iron and vitamin B12 checked from time to time, to ensure that your body stores enough to meet your needs.

• Exercise

Exercise can re-energize you. Exercise can definitely re-energize you. It releases endorphins, hormones that help reduce stress and increase feelings of happiness. It also improves blood circulation, which helps boost energy levels and brain power.

So where do we start? It may be helpful to do light exercises such as walking outdoors, light swimming, or light jogging without putting too much stress on the body.

• To-do list

You can't do everything in one day. Write down your life priorities and identify the tasks that need to be done, then follow them with the good things you would like to accomplish if you had the chance.

“Sometimes life gets terribly busy, because you have a new baby, you’ve just started a new job, or you’re in the middle of renovating your house, so you might end up working in the middle of the night sometimes,” says British psychologist Sandra Wheatley. “But if this is balanced with other habits that make you feel good, you’re less likely to feel overwhelmed or overworked.”
