Although you may never have suffered from fatigue, all of us have experienced mid – afternoon slump or weeks where we never felt totally rested. Yet fatigue is often misunderstood. It stems not only from lack of sleep – though that plays a major role – but from a host of physical and emotional factors.

While persistent tiredness can be a symptom of disease, doctors say the cause is more likely to be lifestyle – related.
The number of times you actually find causes like anaemia, thyroid disease or depression is relatively unusual. For most women, there are other factors like stress, lack of sleep and juggling too many things at once.

You can stop feeling tired – battle fatigue with these action plans:

Get Regular Exercise.
More than 70 per cent of people polled last year say they’re too tired to exercise. Yet, working out, which reduces stress and anxiety, is an effective energy booster. Even moderate activity will suffice. Aerobic exercise increases the flow of blood to the brain, which makes you feel more alert – and studies suggest regular exercise may also improve sleep quality. So make time for a 15 – minute walk three times a week, and your energy levels will improve within just two to three weeks.

Check Your Plate.
Food allergies play a bigger role in causing fatigue than most people realise. Many people are allergic to common foods like wheat and dairy products. When they eliminate these foods from their diet, they feel lightened up and less sluggish.
Some have found Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) like ginseng and cordyceps extremely effective at alleviating fatigue. Taken as a general tonic, these herbs cause no side effects, but check with a licensed TCM practitioner first.

Purify Your Office.
Exhausted after a day at work? It may not be your job, but your office that’s wearing you out. You may be exposed to a host of fatigue – causing airbone substances. For example, many of us are allergic to mould, mites and pollen, and may experience fatigue, malaise and depression due to exposure. The so – called “sick building” syndrome is no myth. In a “sick” building, concentrations of harmful chemicals like formaldehyde can be much higher than normal as the air is continually re – circulated.

Get Your Vitamins.
Shortages of the following nutrients can cause fatigue:
- Iron: Delivers oxygen to working muscle.
- Vitamins B2, B6 And B12: Help break down carbohydrates, protein and fat to unleash energy.
- Vitamin E: A potent anti – oxidant that supports a healthy cardiovascular system.
- Magnesium: Helps your body convert food into energy.
- Zinc: Assists in the growth and repair of cells, particularly muscles.
A healthy diet should provide you with these vital nutritients, but you can also supplement your diet with a multivitamin.

Fuel Your Body.
Doctors say the second main reason for fatigue in women is under – eating. Frequent dieters are especially prone as their bodies do not have enough fuel to operate at peak efficiency. The average 55 kg woman in her thirties should consume about 2,000 calories a day, and heavy exercisers, about 2,300 calories. Consuming significantly less than that will leave you feeling tired and cranky.

Change Is Good.
Some of us don’t realise there are better ways of doing daily tasks – or we may be too stuck in routine to make changes. For example, a daily must – do is our skincare regime. Instead of a 30 – minute nightly cleansing ritual, step Skincare System. Cleanse, tone, moisturise and hop straight into bed in less than five minutes – and all you need to supplement that routine is a twice – weekly exfoliation and mask.
